Should you opt for top quality stock cabinets when you are remodeling your kitchen, or hold out for custom cabinets? Watch a few design shows and you might come away with the idea that stock cabinets are inferior. Stock cabinets, which get their name from the fact that they come in a more limited range of standard sizes and colors and are often “in stock,” are quality products that will add beauty and functionality to your kitchen.
Stock vs. Custom Cabinets
Stock cabinets come 12 or 24 inches deep and up to 36 inches high. They are prefinished in a limited number of colors and are priced based on size, material type, and color. Because the sizes are limited, you will have to plan your remodel around the size. Since prebuilt cabinets are constructed and ready to go, you should be able to get them almost immediately from your distributor.
