i needed to update my kitchen and found out a few things
don't look at just prices
some cheap cabinets, are just that, cheap.
the drawers are paper thin, the cabinets are made of fiberboard with a "oak" finish
they fall apart, trust me, I owned these cheap azz cabinets, and they have to be replaced/
honestly for the same price of these crap garbage cabinets
i got a cabinet maker to make me cabinets out of solid oak
and it wasn't just pieces like you get at home depot, the cabinet were in one piece, and very heavy duty.Check out cabinet makers, they are cheaper then you think.i mean price wise.
Ok. How about an answer from someone who buys directly from the distributor. I buy full kitchen cabinets directly from a company called RTAcabinets.com. This is where to pros buy from. The cost is 40-70% less than home depot. I don't work for them! But I buy and then sell a bunch of there cabinets. This is why so many cabinet shop owners drive big, beautiful trucks. The mark up is huge. Take advantage of my insight!
