Stock cabinets are manufactured in standard sizes but are only available in limited styles and finishes. They are usually "in-stock" and ready to be purchased and installed immediately from your local Home Center. If a cabinet size, style or finish is not "in-stock" it will have to be ordered through the Home Center--payment is often requested in full at the time of order. For the DIY homeowner interested in saving even more money, ready-to-assemble cabinets can be a cost saving option. As an example, you can get the estimated cost of purchasing build-it-yourself cabinets from IKEA, which can be purchased at an outlet or via the phone.When it comes to remodeling a home or building a new one, people are always looking for ways save money. You don't want to sacrifice style for quality, but for the average person they have to find a happy medium to keep their renovation project within their budget. Aside from stock or custom cabinets, most cabinet manufacturers and distributors today are acquiring their materials and products by having them directly imported, which reduces the cost per item, and allows them to pass some of the savings onto their customers. However, the big retail stores still have the high overhead cost associated with brick and mortar stores. Most of these cabinets fall under the category of RTA cabinets or Ready-To-Assemble cabinets. If you can turn a flat head screwdriver then you will be able to construct these cabinets in no time. The assembly is easy and the benefits are even better.
Dellivery time or lead time is another big selling point of RTA kitchen cabinets If you compare the delivery time, quality and price of most RTA cabinets to a Lowe's or a Home Depot, the RTA kitchen cabinets sell themselves. Since Lowe's and Home Depot do not keep the majority of their kitchen cabinets in stock, they have to make them accordingly to each order, which could take several weeks if not months. When purchasing RTA cabinets you are looking at about 8-10 business days for your order to be processed then around 2-4 days for shipping. The quality comparison is even more convincing. Your typical Lowe's and Home Depot kitchen cabinets include multiple pieces made of particle board, which does not hold up well if you are not familiar with the material. Good RTA kitchen cabinets are made entirely of real wood. The front of the each cabinet is made of solid wood and the sides are made of ½" or ¾" finished plywood. The shelves are also made of ½" finished plywood along with the drawers as well. By choosing RTA cabinets for your next kitchen remodel not only can you save thousands of dollars that can be well spent on other parts of the house or just simply saved, you are getting solid cabinets that look great. A typical 10x10 kitchen at Lowe's and Home Depot easily goes for $6-$10k. That same estimate with RTA cabinets can be as little as $2-$4k. |
