Understanding the differences between stock, semi-custom
and custom cabinets will help you know what you’re
getting—and at what price.
Choosing cabinets that aren’t well made is like purchasing
an old television set with a broken antenna—they may work,
but you’re sure to develop a headache after a while.
THE
DOOR: How the cabinet door fits over the cabinet
box determines its basic type
THE DRAWER:The drawers will likely be made of solid wood or MDF; have
framed or flat slab fronts
MANUFACTURERS: From Acorn to Yorktowne, there are
hundred of cabinet manufacturers to choose from.
