Factory-Direct Cabinets: Why Homeowners Are Choosing Smarter Remodel Options

Remodeling your kitchen or bath doesn’t have to break the bank or sacrifice quality. More homeowners are discovering that factory-direct cabinets offer the perfect blend of value, craftsmanship, and custom design flexibility. At Freedom Design, our exclusive Atlas Cabinets line delivers on all three, making it one of the smartest choices for remodeling projects in the Akron and Cleveland areas.


Whether you’re updating your family’s kitchen or upgrading a rental property, understanding what factory-direct means and why it’s reshaping the remodeling industry can help you make more confident decisions.


What Does “Factory-Direct Cabinets” Really Mean?

When you choose factory-direct cabinets, you’re buying directly from the source no middlemen, no unnecessary markups.


Atlas Cabinets is our own exclusive brand, available factory-direct from Freedom Cabinets. These cabinets are produced under strict quality standards and delivered straight to our Hudson and North Royalton showrooms. You get the same premium construction and design features found in high-end brands at a more accessible price point.

Benefits of Factory-Direct Cabinets:

  • Lower overall cost
  • Faster lead times 
  • Customizable options
  • Full transparency on materials and build
  • Reliable quality without inflated prices

Why More Homeowners Are Going Factory-Direct

Remodeling projects involve major investments of both time and money. That’s why many homeowners are rethinking how they spend and where their cabinets are coming from.

1. Cost Savings Without Compromise

Traditional cabinet buying often includes multiple levels of distribution:

manufacturer → wholesaler → retailer → you. Each step adds a markup.


With Atlas Cabinets, we cut out the middleman. You get all-plywood cabinet construction, soft-close doors and drawers, and beautiful finishes at a lower price point than big-box brands. Our in-house purchasing helps keep our costs down, and we pass those savings directly to you.

2. Design Support That Makes It Easy

Buying cabinets online or through impersonal retailers can leave you overwhelmed. Freedom Design simplifies the process with personalized design support from our experienced team. Whether you visit our Hudson or North Royalton showroom, you’ll work with experts who help you design, plan, and visualize your layout before you ever commit.



We use the Atlas line within real design projects every day. We know what works and we’re here to help you make choices that last.

3. Faster Turnaround Times

Waiting 8-12 weeks for cabinets to arrive is frustrating, especially when your kitchen is under construction. Our Atlas factory-direct system reduces wait times significantly. Because we control the ordering and delivery process, we’re able to get your cabinets into production and delivered faster than national retail chains.
