Upgrade your kitchen––for less!
By Ken McEntee
You don’t have to hug Alex Nemet after he quotes a price on your new kitchen, but you may want to.
“Twice last week I got hugs after I gave people their quotes,” smiles the owner of Northeast Factory Direct. “I guess I made them pretty happy.”
Who wouldn’t be happy with 60- to 70-percent carved out of the big box store price for high-quality, solid wood cabinets?
“We’re buying by the truckload so we can offer savings of 60- to 70-percent, compared to the big box stores, for a better quality cabinet,” he insists.
“These are 100-percent, solid wood cabinets; no particleboard or MDF fiberboard. Nobody is going to touch our savings and quality; I don’t care who it is. People can bring in their quotes from the home improvement stores and I know we’re going to be half the price.”
The cabinets at Northeast Factory Direct feature full-extension drawer glides, full overlay doors, soft-close, English dovetailed drawers, and a choice of flat- or raised-panel doors, standard. The selection also includes all of the components you need to create the perfect kitchen—wall pantries, oven cabinets, super lazy Susan corner bases, diagonal wall cabinets, glass doors, wine and plate racks, toe kicks, wall and base fills, crown molding and blind base units.
Cabinets are available in heights of 30-, 36- and 42-inches, with sink bases of up to 36-inches. In fact, everything Consumer Reports recommends as a premium feature to look for when shopping for cabinets, NEFD includes standard. The team even throws in the doorknobs and drawer pulls for free. It’s an unbeatable value.
“We can sell you an entire solid wood kitchen that would retail for $6,000 for just $1,899,” Alex promises.
In addition to bargain pricing, NEFD offers top-level design service by professional kitchen designers at no charge. They’ll even let you take the design with you to shop around. They do that, Alex says, because they know you’ll be back.
“The reason we’re able to offer such low prices is because we buy in large quantities,” Alex says. “We’re selling three to four kitchens per day.”
With success comes growth. Both the Cleveland and Eastlake stores recently expanded their showrooms adding more cabinetry displays as well as more talented, experienced kitchen designers.
And, while you can take a chance catching a designer open on a walk in visit, appointments are recommended. When you make your appointment, you’ll be asked to bring your measurements with you. That way, you can discuss exactly which pieces you’ll need to build your kitchen.

Northeast Factory Direct offers delivery and can refer you to a professional installer, or you can install the cabinets yourself if it suits. In addition to offering 50 different door styles and cabinet colors – including painted styles - that are popular today, granite and quartz countertops are available at NEFD for $49 per square foot installed.
