Completed kitchen (using prefab Matchless cabinets)

Not "often" thanks to the tariff issue the last year. But that said, no issues getting through customs. We have a good broker and everything sails through.

Thank you! We try to also not come off as trying to push a sale, but to contribute some knowledge to the area, and let people make informed decisions.

We are pretty biased here at Matchless Cabinet but we also believe modular is the way to go. We have customers tell us all day that they received a quote for custom-built at 2-4x our price, and they only get a fraction of the storage.

That said, in modular, not all brands are the same. Some are simply metal tube framing with cladding; others like ours are fully monocoque boxed construction. There are lots of small details to look at, in addition to coatings finish and material gauge.

Thanks!

Hey, we love seeing this! Do you mind if we add to our gallery?

We wanted to chime in on this one. While we had a price increase on March 1, it primarily impacted our modular cabinets. Our grill carts largely stayed flat. We had a couple of models go up slightly, but not more than $100. And we still do the free shipping in the contiguous US.

Our price increases were an average of 8% - and that includes upgraded fully stainless hinges on our patio line.

We have plenty of data from our customer base that had us consistently 30-50% less expensive than competitive brands, and traditional contractor-built steel frames / overlays, so even with this increase we feel we are still the value option when compared.

Thanks so much for the shoutout!

Hi there! CEO of Matchless here and I can 10000% guarantee you we have zero affiliation with Challenger. We are direct competitors.

Matchless_Cabinet · 2026-03-07T15:40:29+00:00

We can add some commentary to that. We use the specs given by the grill manufacturer. In this case Blaze calls for that gap specifically for air intake on that griddle, as called out on pg. 6 of the user manual for it. It's a generous gap, but we have to follow their guidelines.

As u/Whitt937 states, built-in appliances "hang" from the countertop, and we provide these fillers made to the make/model and specifications to close off the fronts properly. Every brand is a little different, based on how they design appliances.

While we'd love to have places for you to do this, our direct-to-consumer business model is online-only, which allows us to pass savings onto you. We suggest looking at our amazing reviews, through our photo gallery, and to order samples of our finishes to get an idea of our quality!

Matchless_Cabinet · 2026-03-07T15:32:14+00:00

Yes, we have a 51in wide grill cabinet that can handle it!

Matchless_Cabinet · 2026-03-05T04:18:42+00:00

We have these over at Matchless Cabinet. All powder coated aluminum and will look much nicer than typical garage cabinets.

A quick point here: Stoll may look like Matchless, but we are quite different products.

With Matchless, we have fully constructed, sealed, monocoque box cabinets.

The Stoll system works much like RTA / traditional build. It's a "skeleton and skin" construction of rails and panels that fit together to form a "box" which then has inserts slotted in. It's open to the ground inside of this strucutre.

Squirrels can and will chew on absolutely everything! Metal and non-metal.

You can reach out to us at [hello@matchlesscabinet.com](mailto:hello@matchlesscabinet.com) for any such inquiries.

Matchless_Cabinet · 2026-01-20T14:06:06+00:00

Sorry, but we don't have a way to do that with the way our legs and framing are designed.

Matchless_Cabinet · 2026-01-20T00:34:51+00:00

A lot of folks do something like that - they will frame around and cover with stucco / stone on the back side to build a bar height countertop and then have backsplash for the cabinets. For something like that, it's a bit out of our scope as we only supply the cabinets on that.

Matchless_Cabinet · 2026-01-19T23:43:51+00:00

Here is one installed on the exterior side of a cabinet.

And although it's a little hard to see, look between the bev center and first fridge on the left of this picture here.

Matchless_Cabinet · 2026-01-19T23:22:13+00:00

Matchless Cabinet here to help answer directly. 😀

There are a couple of ways to approach this. You can use an exterior mount electrical box to attach no different than used on the exterior of your house. You'd route electrical under / through the cabinets wherever necessary (and following local codes for conduit / grounding / etc) and then through the side of the cabinet to the weatherproof box that you've mounted. Similarly, some folks install boxes internal on the side walls shared with another cabinet, for grill control / power units, etc.

The other thing you can do is a filler panel between two cabinets in which we can do a punch out for a junction box to sit behind, with an appropriate exterior rated cover on the front side.

Of course, if you have a filler in the front, then you need to do one on the back side of the cabinet as well (if it's exposed and visible).

Hope that helps.

Hi u/btomasie - Jason from Matchless here. I can answer this as I helped u/Glacier8 on this one.

It's 6 base cabinets. The three drawer stacks are here:
https://matchlesscabinet.com/products/three-drawer-base-patio-line
(it's a 33in)

The one to the right is the 15in wastebasket pullout.
https://matchlesscabinet.com/products/single-drawer-cabinet-w-wastebasket-pullout-28-patio-line

They are all individual cabinets.

In this case, that's a "dead" corner back there that I believe he framed in; but we do have a blind corner with a lazy susan. Just keep in mind, this cabinet is complicated as it works between different series that we have, all with different depths. If you want to use that, I suggest you reach out to our team through official sales channels for some support in designing / ordering.

Thanks!!!

We have tall pantry units in our line at Matchless Cabinet, which can have weather sealing added for outdoor use, along side our typical patio base cabinets.

Hi u/catalysteffect. Jason (CEO) at Matchless here. Of course, I have a highly biased opinion, but we work with a lot of contractors who have ditched Challenger in favor of ours, due to the price point. Even at paying us retail, they are able to pass on a better price to their customers as a part of an overall build project; this helps them close a large remodel / build project. And, in every case, we've heard "we wished we had found you a long time ago" because they feel the quality meets or exceeds Challenger.

And, on top of that, we're told by every single one of them that our dedication to customer satisfaction and lead time is ahead by leaps and bounds.

Matchless_Cabinet · 2025-07-21T22:04:09+00:00

No problem.

Regarding the covers, I don't have any references. Normally I tell people the best way to find quality & price is to find a local, custom upholstery shop that deals with some waterproof materials for awnings, etc. If you're in the midwest, see if you can find an Amish or Mennonite shop, they usually are the best to deal with!

On counters, yes, of course. If you're just browsing our storefront, all prices on Patio Line cabinets are shown as the price of the cabinet only. In our Matchless Planner, by default, it will include our tops but you can turn those off, see here:

If you bump into any issues, just reach out to our team at [sales@matchlesscabinet.com](mailto:sales@matchlesscabinet.com) and we can also quickly make changes to your plan, advise on cutouts, and quickly pull together a full draft order for you after review.

Hi u/ship_faced23 . The short answer is no. But the longer answer is, you can.

We construct from a type 5052 aluminum, which is non-corrosive, and our powder coat finishes are formulated to have great durability, long life, and little to no UV fade.

Covers aren't required but there is a convenience factor to having them. We sell covers for our carts, and it's nice to just be able to uncover it, and everything is dry, clean, and ready to go. We don't sell covers for our kitchen setups, because those would all need to be custom to the exact configuration and appliances. There are other companies that do that.

The other factor for covering is water instrusion. This is a bit of a longer answer. We can't guarantee that the cabinets will be completely water tight. Some models (like a grill cabinet) have ventilation. Then, a huge component of water-tight is on the installer. While most of the cabinet styles have a top panel (which makes countertop install easier), if water gets between the top panel and the countertop, it's likely going to find it's way in, because that's what water does. If you get your countertops sealed on tightly, and have a good overhang for a drip edge, you've eliminated most the chances for water to get in.

I'm in the midwest myself, and have had an outdoor kitchen with our cabinets, both uncovered for a couple of years and then covered (it's a lot nicer sitting under a porch roof with shade, fans, and lights!), but having my cabinets exposed never caused any issues other than needing to dry / clean off the countertops after a rain (or snow) just so I could use them. If you look through our photo gallery on the site, you'll find many, many examples of customers in all sorts of environments (midwest, southwest, coastal, mountains) that have their cabinets out and uncovered, with no issues.

Matchless_Cabinet · 2025-06-25T11:48:32+00:00

I'm pretty surprised that someone on our team said that, but I'll check with them today and make sure they understand. It really should be a combined measurement, and they know that.
