Top 6 Things to Know Before Buying Kitchen Cabinets!

​

Brought to you by Kitchen Cabinet Design Company

​

  Shopping for kitchen cabinets? With so many choices out there, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But don’t worry, I’m here to break it down so you can make the best choice for your home!

​

1. RTA (Ready-to-Assemble) Cabinets – $

You’ve probably seen these online; they come flat packed and require assembly. While they’re budget-friendly and convenient, they’re typically made overseas and use basic assembly methods like cam locks and staples. They look nice at first, but over time, painted finishes may crack, and doors can warp. Plus, shipping can be rough, and damage is common. Best used for temporary spaces or homes about to hit the market.

​

2. Stock Cabinets – $$

These are fully assembled cabinets and often made in the USA, but they come with limited options in size, color, and style. They’re a step up from RTA cabinets in terms of quality but still lack customization. Perfect if you’re planning to move in a few years and need a quick, easy solution.

​

3. Semi-Custom Cabinets – $$$

Want something that lasts but doesn’t need full customization? Semi-custom cabinets offer better quality than stock cabinets and allow for some modifications in size, material, and finish. Since they’re made to order, they cost more, and small changes can add up. A professional designer can help you navigate the options for a stylish kitchen that won’t break the bank.

​

4. Factory-Built Custom Cabinets – $$$$

If you’re looking for ultimate versatility, factory-built custom cabinets allow for complete control over size, style, and finish. However, interior details (like drawer box wood types and hinge hardware) may be standard. These cabinets tend to have longer lead times and are best suited for a forever home. A professional kitchen designer is highly recommended to ensure the best fit.

​

5. Local Cabinet Shop – $$$

For true customization at a more affordable price, consider working with a local cabinet maker. Unlike large factories, these shops use locally sourced materials, reducing shipping costs. While they may not have a showroom, they offer high-quality craftsmanship without the high-end price tag. Expect longer lead times, and be sure to work with a designer to bring your vision to life.

​

6. Hybrid Local Custom Cabinet Shop – $$$

These modern shops blend expert craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology, using CNC machines and advanced joinery for precision and durability. They typically have a showroom where professional designers help bring ideas to life. Because materials and hardware are sourced locally, you save on shipping, and production is faster. Great for homeowners who want quality, customization, and efficiency.
