Cabinet quantity and widths
A run with more cabinets, wider drawer bases or additional tall cabinets will have a different total than a smaller layout.
Price comparison guide
What determines the cost of RTA kitchen cabinets?
There is no single cabinet price that fits every kitchen. The total depends on the exact cabinet list, door style, cabinet sizes, corner pieces, finishing parts, freight and applicable sales tax.
Door style and finish
The same cabinet SKU can have a different retail price in another door style or finish.
Corners and specialty cabinets
Corner cabinets, waste baskets, drawer bases, oven cabinets and other specialty pieces can change the cabinet list substantially.
Fillers, panels and trim
A complete order can need fillers, skins, finished panels, toe kick or moulding in addition to the cabinet boxes.
Freight
Cabinet orders typically ship by LTL freight. Shipping is separate from the cabinet merchandise price unless an offer specifically says otherwise.
Sales tax
Applicable sales tax is separate from advertised cabinet merchandise prices unless stated otherwise.
Concrete comparison point
JLK 10×10 Shaker package · $1,995.00
JLK’s Shaker White and Shaker Gray 10×10 specials use a fixed 13-piece cabinet list. That makes the package useful as a clear comparison point because the exact included pieces are published. Freight and applicable sales tax are additional, and the fixed package cannot be modified at this price.
See the 10×10 packagesHow to compare two cabinet quotes fairly
- 1
Compare the exact SKU list
Make sure both quotes contain the same cabinet types, sizes and quantities.
- 2
Compare the finish and construction
A similarly named color does not necessarily mean the same door profile or cabinet construction.
- 3
Check the finishing pieces
Look for fillers, panels, toe kick, moulding and accessories that one quote may include and another may omit.
- 4
Separate merchandise from delivery
Compare cabinet merchandise totals separately from freight and sales tax so the difference is clear.
- 5
Verify the layout before checkout
The lowest total is not useful if the cabinet list does not fit the room.
