Cabinets are the key ingredient in any kitchen. kitchen cabinets are likely to be the most visible part of the room, creating in large part its personality. They represent the single largest investment in a new kitchen, so before you leap, take a moment to look at all the options available. That way it will be easier to avoid confusion and potentially costly mistakes.

There are three catagories of kitchen cabintes:
The first category of kitchen cabinets are built by a carpenter on a job site. Typically, the wood used might be a medium hardwood, such as birch or ash, as opposed to furniture grade woods such as maple, oak or cherry. The style of the kitchen cabinets will usually be what the homebuilder or general contractor selects. A great deal of the final result will depend on how well the painter finishes the cabinets. Before you accept this alternative, ask yourself whether the carpenter and painter are so good that you would be willing to let them build your kitchen cabinets. Given their importance, kitchen cabinets should be at least as well designed and constructed as the furniture you own.

The second category is stock manufactured kitchen cabinets. They are pre-assembled and mass produced. They are literally off-the-shelf and usually come in a limited range of standard sizes and styles, with a few options on finishes and accessories. They are usually available immediately.

The third category of kitchen cabinets is custom manufactured cabinets built to your specifications. This category encompasses a large selection of hardwoods, laminates and veneers. At the top of this range, finishes are multi-step and hand-rubbed, with a conversion varnish baked-on finish. Heights, widths and depths of kitchen cabinets can all be readily modified to meet your exact specifications and design options are virtually unlimited. Sliding shelves, lazy susans, swing out spice racks and pull-out pantries are just a few of the many convenience features you can add to your kitchen cabinets. You can also expect to work with trained representatives who will help you through all the details of the selection process.
