You are thinking of buying a new kitchen. Great! Whether it’s a new home or you are remodeling your current one, the kitchen is the heart of the home, and therefore you have some important decisions to make. The design can come later, but the most important decision is: where will you buy those kitchen cabinets? There are three main choices: brick and mortar store, custom cabinet maker, and online.
Buying Kitchen Cabinets from a Brick and Mortar Store
Many people buy their cabinets from a physical store, for a number of reasons. The main one is because that is the way they have always done it. You walk into a store, take a look around, pick what you like, and buy it. This is the traditional model of purchasing. It’s perhaps not the best model, though, as first, these physical stores have a lot of overhead needed to run the store, which translates directly to higher costs to you, the client. Second, while they may have a decent stock, it’s necessarily limited by the amount of space the store has, and what they can keep in storage and put in their showroom. Third, to keep costs down, the quality of the cabinets is not always the best. It may be okay, but to get good, high quality cabinets you will have to pay a premium price.
Custom Made Kitchen Cabinets
Getting custom made kitchen cabinets can be very nice. Provided you get a reputable and skilled business, they will come into your home, measure everything, make suggestions, walk you through every step of the process and make your cabinets by hand to match your home perfectly. Nearly any configuration of cabinets can be created, and you will have a unique kitchen. The main reasons against custom kitchens are two: price and time. The price is very high compared to other options, and the amount of time needed to create a kitchen from scratch is pretty serious.
RTA Kitchen Cabinets
This is the online option. This option allows for a serious reduction in the price of the cabinets, due to the lack of overhead costs that physical stores have to maintain. Also, as the cabinets are already manufactured, they are usually ready to go and can be purchased and delivered in a fraction of the time it would take to get custom cabinets.
