About this term

Cabinets are made from wood frames with plywood or veneer sides, featuring various door and hardware options. Quality ranges from builder-grade budget options to custom premium designs. Cabinet features include soft-close hinges, pullout shelves, and specialty storage. Cabinet finishing includes paint, stain, or laminate options. Kitchen cabinets significantly impact cost and functionality. Custom cabinets cost 2-3x more than semi-custom but offer unlimited options.

Pro Tip

Don't over-customize cabinets. Standard colors and finishes are timeless. Invest in quality hardware and organization features instead.

Example

A kitchen includes semi-custom maple cabinets with soft-close hinges, stainless hardware, and interior organization features in shaker-style design.
