Cheaper to buy kitchen cabinets from Ikea, Home Depot, Lowes, or locally?
Redoing Kitchen - best place to purchase cabinets/counters? So, my contractor measured everything out for what I'd need to do my kitchen. We sat down with the Lowes Kitchen Designer. It's looking like 15k in cabinetry, but it's a 10x9 kitchen. That seems fairly high, but maybe it's me.
Who knew kitchen cabinets cost your first born
Are "these places" including big box stores or IKEA? We got the majority of our new kitchen cabs at Menards (not sure if they are in OH) and they were pretty reasonable, and had a couple of different lines at different price points.
That said, 10K isn't an unreasonable amount if you have a decent sized kitchen and especially if you are looking for higher end construction. Are you really going to sacrifice having decent cabinets (should last forever) so you can pay someone else to doing something like painting?
The people who drop 50K on a kitchen remodel aren't throwing all their money away on fancy finishes, they're just doing a full gut job; a major remodel ain't cheap.
Another thing to think about if you're making your own, is you better be damn sure they'll hold up whatever countertop you're putting in - cause stone is heavy. Have you priced out countertops yet? If not, you're in for another treat.

Hi all!
Looking for advice/ guidance on inexpensive kitchen cabinetry and your experiences with Ikea, Home Depot, Lowes, or local companies (I know prices will vary, but still intrigued). Which would likely be my cheapest option (considering quality to be at or around the same level)? Not looking for anything fancy, just trying to update my 60s kitchen on a budget-- the microwave is older than I am.
The kitchen is about 17' x 13', and uppers and lowers will run the length of the single 17' wall. No cabinets will be on the 13' walls. We are looking to put in a rather large island (somewhere around 12' x 5').
Here's a tentative drawing of what I imagine it will look like-- I'm not an artist, please don't judge!

TIA!
