Assembled Kitchen Cabinets: The Ideal Buy
For every dream kitchen is a cabinet to match. But in choosing the perfect kitchen cabinet, there are many things to consider aside from the design, colors and storage needs.
The first thing to consider is your budget. Experts say that in remodeling a kitchen, 50-60% of the budget is spent on cabinets. With that large chunk, it is indeed important to seriously weigh your options before deciding on anything. Should you build the cabinets yourself? While this may be the cheapest option, it is nonetheless risky if you are not an expert. Apart from the materials to be used, you would also need some tools that are not commonly available at home. Cabinet-building is not a trial and error process, which, in the long run, might be more expensive than hiring a professional or buying the ready made ones.
When ordered, cabinets are shipped pre-assembled or ready to assemble.
Assembled kitchen cabinets are those that have already been put together by the manufacturer. Because the pieces are already in place, the customer is assured of the quality of the cabinet. Joints are securely fastened, edges aligned. While it is practically hassle-free for the buyer, it costs more and requires a longer time before it can be shipped. If it is shipped or delivered pre-assembled, all the customer needs to do upon its receipt is to install. Installing the cabinets yourself can help you save some money, but it might be difficult if you have not tried doing it yet. Some manufacturers of semi-custom and custom cabinets offer to install the cabinets at an additional price, or you can hire a professional to do the installation for you. Ready to Assemble: Ready to assemble (RTA) cabinets are those that require the buyer himself to assemble the cabinet. You are able to save a little on shipping cost, since the materials are more compact than when the cabinet is already assembled. Also, because it is compact when shipped, there is less chances that the goods will be damaged in transit. While assembly instructions are rather easy, assembling it yourself would require some workspace as well as time and patience. And any minor mistake that you make in the process can be disastrous. There are three kinds of cabinets that you can purchase - stock, semi-custom and custom. Stock cabinets are those you purchase "off-the-rack". Companies manufacture them by bulk according to standard sizes. While this is the most affordable option, it is not possible to buy one if the size of the cabinets you require are not that of the standard. Also, the designs and colors available are limited. Semi-custom cabinets or built-to-order ones are those which can be manufactured according to the preferences of the buyer, but to a certain extent. It can be a slight modification on the design or color, or an additional detail of a pre-made stock cabinet. Custom cabinets are those made upon order. Customers are able to choose according to their taste as to the size, design, material or color of the cabinet. This is the most expensive, but because it is built according to your specifications, you will be most pleased with it. The common notion is that one can have their dream cabinet only if customized. This is not true. Visit your local hardware store or the internet to know what choices are available and which ones would work for you and your household. Pick the right kitchen cabinet and turn your dream kitchen into reality.
