Here is a section of a FAQ I wrote for atlantacabinets.com go check it out!

Seems like everything is GREEN these days! I was in the store the other day and a bottle of Chlorine Bleach had a GREEN label on it! Upon further inspection the only thing green about it was that the bottle was made from recycled plastic!

All that to say that just because something has a GREEN label on it does not necessarily mean it is green. While just about all of the lines we carry have the KCMA ESP certification, some are truly more GREEN than others. Wellborn is probably the most truly GREEN line we carry with Quality Cabinets in a strong second place. I encourage everyone who is interested in purchasing a GREEN cabinet investigate for themselves the steps the manufacture is taking to protect both the environment and their families from bad IAQ Indoor Air Quality . You can find out if the manufacture you are interest in has the KCMA ESP certification on the Greencabinetsource.org website under the Certified Companies link, here are some links to a few Wellborn Green Quality Green Kraftmaid Green

If you are concerned about dangerous chemicals and toxic finishes in your home, just STAY AWAY from imported or Chinese cabinets!! If they paint childrens toys with toxic chemicals who knows what they are finishing their cabinets with! Not only do imports have questionable finishing chemicals on them, the warranty issues they present make buying imported cabinets a lot like playing Russian Roulette!

How can you tell if you are looking at an imported cabinet? The first red flag to spot an imported cabinet is if you are being offered an All Wood, Beautiful Door style with a glaze finish, and cushion close drawers for a price that is ridiculously less than all the other quotes you have received… there is a REASON imports are offered at what seems like double the cabinet for half the money!
