How Much Do Kitchen Cabinets Truly Cost?

Updated on: June 16, 2022

In this article resource, we’ll answer the common question, “How much do kitchen cabinets cost?”

Budget is a huge factor when designing a kitchen or bathroom and cabinets can take up a large chunk of your remodeling budget.  We thought it would be extremely helpful to show you real customers' kitchens, the actual amount they spent on the cabinets, and what affected the cost.

Most cabinet companies, including Cabinets.com, show a 10'x10' price next to a door style.  This pricing is a sample cost of cabinets in a 10 foot by 10 foot L-shaped space.  It is basic pricing with no upgrades added, based on the 12 items shown below (W1230, W1830 (2), W3030, W3612, W3015, CW2430, B18, B24, BER36, SB36, BTK8) and does not include crown molding, decorative hardware, countertops, sink/faucet, or appliances.

The 10'x10' price should only be used to gauge what the style/finish is running cost-wise. Your actual kitchen could come in depending on all the variables that come into play when designing a space.

Below you’ll find small, medium, and large kitchens, along with laundry rooms and bathrooms- all real projects by Cabinets.com customers. We’ve included the actual prices our customers paid for their cabinets the year they were purchased, including sale or contractor pricing and discounts (if applicable), not adjusted for inflation. The prices provided reflect the cabinets and their respective components only.
