STOCK
CABINETRY
Stock kitchen cabinets are a good option for those looking to pay the lowest prices with the quickest delivery time. However, they are pre-manufactured, which means that there is no potential for customization and limited availability in terms of styles, shapes, colors and types of woods, etc.
SEMI-CUSTOM CABINETRY
A semi-custom cabinet is essentially a stock cabinet that has the potential for some customization—such as altering certain dimensions, styles of door fronts, and the depth of the cabinets themselves. These semi-custom cabinets provide some of the flexibility benefits of custom cabinets, while still being budget friendly. Truly a best of both worlds!
CUSTOM CABINETRY
Custom cabinets are ideal for those looking for a totally individual design concept. Cabinets are designed and manufactured completely from scratch by skilled craftsmen with clear attention paid to the intricate details that are intrinsic in custom kitchen cabinetry. Custom cabinets also typically represent the most expensive option that will take the longest to produce, however, the end result will undoubtedly be suited exactly to your personal preferences and designed to fit perfectly into your space.
Overview: Stock, Semi-Custom and Custom Cabinetry
To summarize everything up in a neat little knot:
- Stock cabinetry: Cheapest, quickest option with limited availability of sizes, styles, colors and wood types.
- Semi-custom cabinetry: Potential for some customization, less expensive than complete custom cabinetry.
A middle ground between the two options. - Custom cabinetry: Completely customizable to any design preference and specification.
Typically the most expensive option with the longest delivery time.
