Yeah, I know most would stay away - but I had good experience with ordering cabinets and did my own installation in the past. This time, I'm just adding a few cabinets to an open wall: 2x 18x30, 1x 36x30 with glass door inserts, and 2x 18x12 and 1x 36x12 on top without glass inserts. Got a quote for under 3K for Kraftmaid but there was a sale going on, so want to see if these are ongoing or need to do this sooner than later. TIA.

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!
