Celebrate the holidays in your new kitchen!

Mimi Vanderhaven • September 17, 2025

With a free kitchen design, solid wood cabinets and complementary upgrades, Northeast Factory Direct can have you in your new kitchen before the holidays—without breaking the bank.

With home improvement projects often put on hold due to busy summer schedules, now is the time to get started on your kitchen remodel, especially if you want it completed before the holidays, says Angelo Lardomita, lead kitchen designer and sales manager at Northeast Factory Direct.


“With our vast volume and huge inventory, we typically complete our projects faster than other kitchen designers,” he says. “But it still takes time. Selecting your cabinets and hardware, ordering them, and having them shipped is just the beginning. We don’t simply sell you boxes. We manage the entire process, including preparing your 3D design. We can install your kitchen, or you can pass our designs along to your own contractor. Either way, it’s almost October, so we need to order your cabinets now so you can enjoy the holidays in your new kitchen. Our 22 kitchen designers stay busy all the time, so let’s get you in the queue right now.”


Professional Designers

The team at Northeast Factory Direct (NEFD) has designed and installed thousands of kitchens, so these designers know what works and what doesn’t. They avoid design mistakes that can haunt you for years after your project is completed, including proper sink and appliance placement and ensuring drawers and cabinets are placed to maximize their functionality. 


Your kitchen design is free with no obligation. You can walk away with it if you want (but after experiencing NEFD’s professional service, you probably won’t).


“We’re not some small business selling six kitchens a year,” Angelo adds. “We’re a local Cleveland company selling thousands of kitchens, so we’ve seen it all.”


And because NEFD is a full-service company, it’s a one-stop shop for cabinets, countertops, flooring and backsplashes—no need to drive all over town juggling different suppliers.


The design process is fun, easy and…affordable. 


High Quality/Lowest Price

A proper kitchen design is essential, but so is value, and NEFD has long been known for its dramatically low prices.


“Our entire business was founded on offering the lowest price,” explains company founder Alex Nemet. “Our no-frills, warehouse-style business model means we keep our overhead low and pass these savings on to customers. To this day, we can still sell you white Shaker cabinets for a 10-by-10-foot kitchen for under $3,000. You’d pay $6,000 to $7,000 elsewhere.”


Despite the low cost, NEFD’s cabinets are, in fact, high-quality furniture.


“Our cabinets are solid wood—no particleboard—with dovetail joints, soft-close drawers, and 75 different door and drawer styles and color combinations to choose from,” Angelo adds. “Many customers are focused on color—blue is popular right now—but cabinets are about much more than color. High-quality construction and long-lasting, constant use are key. That’s how we’re able to offer a lifetime warranty on most of what we sell.”


NEFD’s kitchens average only about $6,000.


“Customers are often shocked when they come in and we’re $10,000 to $15,000 less than other places they’ve shopped. And our price includes all the bells and whistles—a pull-out trash cabinet, roll-out trays, crown molding and much more. At other places, these things are expensive add-ons.”


Angelo says he’s been a part of thousands of kitchen installations since joining the NEFD team in 2010.


“Many of those kitchens have been for Mimi readers,” he says. “I’m still amazed by the number of cabinets we sell on a weekly basis, but I think that says a lot about the quality of the product we offer, the quality of the designs we produce and our customer service before, during and after each project.”


0% Interest, Furniture and More

In addition to kitchens, NEFD also sells furniture, flooring, plus wellness items like hot tubs, infrared saunas, lift chairs, zero-gravity massage chairs, adjustable beds and more. And because the company offers 0% financing along with its expert design service and local tradesmen on the job, you can invest in home furnishings and pay for your kitchen over time.
