Any experience with the Schrock Entra line of cabinets?

We just received a quote for Schrock Entra cabinets - there isn't too much information about them online. Does anyone have experience good or bad? We are hoping to find decent quality middle of the road cabinets for our renovation. So far we were quoted that line and a second from a local cabinet shop that was a bit more $$ (which I'm leaning toward based on my experience so far). Open to other suggestions as well.

    I had a whole long explanation about differences typed out, and then Houzz lost it.

    It boils down to, not knowing your budget, for me if the cost of upgrading to the soft close from the epoxy glides in the Junior line was being charged at less than 5%, that would be worth it. ($500 on a 10K Design.) That is an easy click in the software to give you an immediate cost difference.

    If the cost difference approaches 10%, that is when it is worth exploring what the costs would be in the full line, as I think it would get you an overall better result for the same or a bit more money. But if you are asking for a redesign in the full line, you should be willing to commit to a design retainer with the company, so they can be assured that you are committing to go with one or the other.

    There are also cost cutting strategies that any good designer can give you if the full line price is out of reach to you. (Fewer larger cabinets instead of more smaller cabinets, skins instead of integrated flush ends, different crown molding combinations, aftermarket accessories, etc) But you won’t get a lot of work and suggestions without a commitment.

      Same thing as Diamond Vibe and Kemper Echo. Less choices, less finishes, and customizations. Decent hardware and finishes.

      Sophie, you help so many on this forum. Thank you. May I ask your opinion about Schrock Entra and Kemper Echo?

      As you advised on another thread, I stopped going to the big box stores and went to two local dealers. I am on a tight budget and live in a very modest neighborhood, so one advised Schrock Entra, the other Kemper Echo. You said above that these lines have "less choices, less finishes, and customizations. Decent hardware and finishes." I am fine with fewer choices, finishes, and customizations, and with my large, active family that entertains a lot, it's consoling to know that the finishes and hardware are still decent. Are the finishes the same quality as the full lines? And I've read here that it doesn't make sense to add the upgrades back in when using these junior lines - I can live without self-closing hinges on doors, but really think that full extension doors would make my small kitchen more efficient. Should I stop looking at the junior lines if I know that I'm going to spring for the full-extension?

      Sophie, Houzz messed with me, too, as I never got a notification that there were more comments on this thread. So I am sending you a belated thank you for the excellent explanation.

      We ended up going with a custom cabinet company.
