Kitchen Cabinets 101: What Are Your Options?

1. Stock Cabinets

Pre-manufactured, mass-produced cabinets available in standard sizes and styles.
Most budget-friendly option.
Limited customization but quick availability.

2. Semi-Custom Cabinets

Built to order but based on standard sizes.
Offers more options for finishes, styles, and sizes than stock cabinets.
Moderately priced, balancing customization and cost.

3. Custom Cabinets

Fully custom-built to your specifications for size, style, materials, and finish.
Highest level of personalization.
More expensive and takes longer to build and deliver.

By Door Style (which greatly impacts the look):

Shaker Cabinets
Simple, clean, and timeless with a recessed center panel. Very popular.
Flat-Panel (Slab) Cabinets
Sleek and modern with a flat, smooth door surface.
Inset Cabinets
Doors fit flush inside the cabinet frame for a classic, crafted look.
Raised Panel Cabinets
Traditional style with a raised center panel on doors.
Glass-Front Cabinets
Feature glass inserts to showcase dishware or décor.

By Material:

Solid Wood (oak, maple, cherry, etc.) — durable and classic.
Plywood — often used for cabinet boxes, strong and stable.
MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard) — smooth surface, good for painted finishes.
Particleboard — economical but less durable.
