RTA means Ready To Assemble. IKEA cabinets are a popular example. Many in America are enjoying significant savings by installing these cabinets. Materials are low grade but the doors look good and the finished result appears attractive. The wall-hanging technique is sound.
One simple improvement can be made: glue the wooden dowels when assembling the boxes. This helps with long-term survival of the cabinet structure.

Of these RTA type cabinets, has anyone had experience with ease of installation. I'd like to give it a shot but am concerned about how I'd make out.
How about any experience with ikea kitchen cabinet Installation ebooks like this one? Worth it?

I love the before and after illustrations. Messy kitchen with cabinets and counter; neat kitchen with cabinets and counter. Hmm. . . .maybe the problem wasn't the cabinets ?
Seriously, if the book tells about how to lay out the cabinets, including leveling and plumbing (vertical alignment) so the cabinets fit line up correctly, it might be worth the money. Take it from me (a journeyman cabinetmaker), it's not as simple as your cousin says it is. . .
