We've decided to pivot back to NewAge for the rest of our cabinets.
As much as we wanted to keep everything blue, we want to get moving ASAP on finishing the garage; plus, the 36" wide NewAge lockers fit into our space much better than the 30" or 48" wide Saber units. Plus we really like our NewAge cabinets and we've received excellent customer service and support from them. So we pulled the trigger on the 14-piece NewAge Pro 3.0 package from Costco, in black with the wood benchtop surface. We felt that the price was competitive, and we like purchasing through Costco whenever possible.
It's been a few years since our last NewAge cabinet purchase, but I hope and expect that this one will go as well as our last one. Fingers crossed!
I'll keep this thread updated with the results.
Update on our NewAge cabinet purchase, for anyone who may be interested...
Ordered the 14pc Pro 3.0 set from Costco on October 28. Estimated date of delivery at the time was two to three weeks. The next day I received follow-up confirmation email from NewAge confirming the order and reviewing the delivery process.
THREE DAYS later I received a phone call to schedule the delivery. The following day I received the cabinets. The driver was outstanding; he appeared to be familiar with this sort of NewAge delivery and backed his truck all the way up the driveway to my garage door, and CAREFULLY unloaded four pallets directly into my garage. All of the cartons showed ZERO signs of damage. Amazing!
We unwrapped/unpacked everything the next day. Not a scratch, dent or mark on any of the cabinets, and all of the hardware was present and accounted for.
Now, a word about quality. I had tempered my expectations, hoping at the most to receive a product at least as good as our original set of Performance Plus cabinets, which was their premium line at the time. I am pleased and amazed to note that these cabinets are even BETTER than the ones we bought in 2018. The fit, finish, and build quality far exceeds my expectations. The black matte finish has a much more even tone throughout than my blue PP cabinets. And these things are SOLID. Maybe not quite as heavy duty as Lista, but they are heads and tails above anything available in a big-box store. And considering, by my estimation, that I paid LESS (and that's NOT factoring in for inflation!) for this batch of cabinets than what I paid collectively for my PPs in 2018, I think it is an EXCELLENT value for the money.
If you are on the fence about NewAge Pro 3.0 cabinets, I can't really tell you what to do, but I will give them my highest recommendation.
Worth every penny.
