In older times, furniture served a lot more as a decorative piece, rather than anything else; people would have the most exquisite and luxurious designs in their homes, bringing about a chic and warm atmosphere. Red varnish was especially appreciated during those aesthetics-driven times, probably being considered as a symbol of wealth and respect. In any case, cherry hardwood was able to provide that gleam of richness given by the red varnish, and was thus one of the most popular materials, back in the days.
Today's furniture industry has decided that this look from the past can still be more than desirable today, and thus cherry hardwood has been brought back into style, and time travel is no longer required in order to achieve that flow of warmth and tranquility which was present in days past. It's an excellent type of wood, being resistant to many destructive nuisances such as moisture, heat and scratches, all while providing an air of grandeur to the kitchen.
It is best to purchase ready to assemble cabinetry, since this will save you a bunch of money, while all you'll have to do is spend 40-60 minutes of your time to assemble what you purchased. Contrary to popular belief, the low cost of these cabinets does not entail poor-quality materials; the materials are still of unmatched durability as well as being of the very highest quality, and the lower prices are justified by the fact that it's the consumer himself who has to assemble his merchandise, and thus there are not assembly costs to cover.
All in all, whilst cherry hardwood cabinetry might prove to be a tad more expensive than most of the other alternatives, you have to consider what you'll be getting: durability, resilience, reliability, styles, class and elegance if you ask me, it's more than worth the higher price.
