Marfa NuEra: custom European frameless cabinetry from Skokie, Illinois

Marfa NuEra is a cabinetry company that designs and sells custom European frameless kitchen cabinets and vanities, along with cabinetry for mud rooms and laundry rooms. The company states that its products are made in the USA and delivered nationwide. The business now operates under the Marfa NuEra name following a change of ownership; the site presents it as the successor to Marfa Cabinets.

Its offer is organised around a turnkey model that combines custom design, production and support through each stage of a project, with high-quality materials and a lifetime warranty attached to orders.

Kitchens, mud rooms, laundry rooms and vanities

The catalogue is structured around four main areas of the home:

• Custom kitchen cabinets
• Custom mud room cabinets
• Custom laundry room cabinets
• Vanities and linen cabinets for bathrooms and closets

Within the bathroom and storage range, the shop lists standing and floating vanities, some with double-sink configurations, as well as standing and floating linen closets. Named collections include Orla, Trapani, Gela and Noto, offered in inset and overlay constructions. The wider catalogue also references floating TV stands, floating nightstands, floating sideboards, floating desks, floating entry consoles and floating bar cabinets.

A three-step ordering process

The company describes a structured path from first enquiry to delivery. The first step is a free design and quote, which typically includes a two-hour consultation, around ten hours of design work, three full-size samples delivered to the home, photorealistic visuals and an initial design with pricing.

The second step, refining and finalising the design, is priced at $1,998, an amount that goes towards the purchase price. It covers detailed kitchen plans, itemised pricing, regular design consultations typically spanning 20 to 40 hours, seven free samples, five free revisions with the option of adding further rooms, and a consultation of up to three to five hours for additional details. Extra revisions beyond the five included cost $299 each.

The third step is ordering and delivery. The company indicates that custom cabinets can be shipped directly to the customer with delivery within 21 days for selected colours and options, and that orders carry a lifetime warranty, with customer service available to help with any issues.

Samples and showroom consultation

Prospective customers can work with more than 90 samples, and the site also offers a sample selection tool for planning a kitchen layout. Consultations and design appointments are part of the sales process, and the company invites enquiries for a free design and quote.
