Quick answer... long-lasting happy experience with a product always happens because of its quality, not its warranty. 

It seems reasonable to suppose that the longer the warranty, the better the quality. Sometimes this is true, often it is not. Long-term warranties have proven to be a valuable manufacturer's marketing tool – but caveat emptor, “buyer beware!”

You must read warranty details carefully. For example, our Dakota line offers a valuable lifetime warranty with coverage limited to problems arising from “normal household use,” while a commonly seen national brand offers a lifetime warranty which specifically excludes “normal wear and tear.”

...Meaning that it basically covers only manufacturing defects – which typically appear very early in a product's service.  ...not, as you might mistakenly believe, that your cabinets are guaranteed to last for a lifetime
