What's the cheapest way to buy affordable kitchen cabinets from us?

We start at $43 for a wall cabinet and $87 for a base cabinet, and a 10x10 kitchen on the stock line runs $1,842 to $2,143 for cabinets only. This page walks the cheapest route to those numbers, from pickup and your own assembly up to cabinets we assemble, deliver and install. It also tells you what we won't cut to get there.

A 10x10 kitchen of our cabinets starts at $1,842, and the cheapest route to that number is pickup plus your own assembly.

Every step we do for you adds a line to the bill. So the ladder below goes from the least we handle to the most. Climb only as high as you need.

StepWhat you doWhat you pay us
1. Pickup, stock or RTACollect the boxes, build the cabinets, hang them or hire someone to.10x10 from $1,842, cabinets only (stock $1,842 to $2,143, RTA from $1,842). Wall cabinets from $43, base cabinets from $87. Pickup is free.
2. Unfinished primed shakerAssemble, then paint.10x10 from $1,842, the same as factory-finished stock.
3. Delivery onlyWe bring the boxes anywhere in Georgia, you take it from there.Curbside $300, garage or driveway $450, up to 50 miles. Beyond 50 miles is quoted per order.
4. AssembledWe assemble RTA or stock cabinets, or you pick a pre-assembled line.Assembly $38 per base, wall or vanity cabinet and $75 per tall cabinet. Pre-assembled lines carry $0 assembly, with a 10x10 from $2,859.
5. Installed by our crewWithin 100 miles of Alpharetta.$130 per cabinet box, or $90 if it's ready-assembled.

Pickup is free. Delivery is the next rung, and the details sit on our Georgia cabinet delivery page.

One note on step two. Primed shaker costs the same as factory-finished stock, so painting it yourself doesn't lower the cabinet price, and nobody at all buys primed cabinets from us to finish at home. Raw stain-grade costs more.

What makes affordable cabinets cheap, and what doesn't

Plywood boxes usually cost 10–15% more than MDF boxes in our projects, and that's the one place we won't cut to hit a lower number.

What makes our lowest-priced cabinets affordable is a simple design. The cheapest 10 cabinets aren't bad quality, they're just plain. We don't get there with a thinner box. On our main lines the box is ½-inch plywood, the adjustable shelves are ¾-inch plywood, and the drawer boxes are ⅝-inch solid wood with dovetail joints.

Here's what each part is. Painted lines use solid wood or HDF stiles and rails with a ⅜ to ⅝-inch MDF center panel. Stained lines use solid wood stiles and rails with a plywood or MDF center panel. One frameless slab line has a ¾-inch engineered furniture board box and lacquered MDF-core doors. MDF is pressed wood fiber and binders. It isn't wood, and we won't call it that.

Homeowners ask us for the MDF box to save money. We recommend plywood anyway. On kitchens we've installed and serviced, MDF boxes swell at the sink base and under the dishwasher, hinge and glide screws lose their grip after re-tightening, and paint lifts at the bottom edge. Plywood boxes installed years ago are still square and dry. Mohsen puts it this way: “If you want a kitchen that lasts for years, do not buy cabinets with MDF boxes.” Our plywood vs MDF page has the long version.

Hinges and drawer glides are the first parts to fail in the cheap cabinets we replace, because they're used every day. On our main lines the hinges are soft-close concealed and the glides are undermount full-extension.

Affordable kitchen cabinet prices by line

Our stock line prices a 10x10 kitchen at $1,842 to $2,143, cabinets only, which works out to about $92 to $107 per linear foot, counting a 10x10 run as 20 linear feet.

Line10x10 kitchen, cabinets onlyMedianBase and wall cabinet from
Stock$1,842 to $2,143$1,859Base $87, wall $46
RTA$1,842 to $4,882$3,050Base $87, wall $43
Pre-assembled$2,859 to $9,384$5,691Base $101, wall $72

Every figure covers cabinets only. Assembly, installation, delivery and countertops are extra. On the stock line a 30-inch base cabinet runs $184 to $256, median $222, and a 30 by 30 wall cabinet runs $135 to $187, median $162.

For context, HomeAdvisor puts cabinets at $100 to $1,200 per linear foot across the country.

Countertops are a separate line on the bill. Installed quartz starts at $49 per square foot for entry whites, and most quartz runs $53 to $60. See quartz countertops and our pricing page for the rest. Need a bigger budget line, like semi-custom? That sits on its own page.

How do our kitchen cabinet prices compare with Home Depot and Lowe's?

In one customer example, a Home Depot quote for cabinets only ran $33,000 to $34,000, against $7,800 from us for painted cabinets.

That gap isn't magic. Mohsen's view is that big stores like Home Depot and Lowe's set the price, and people pay it out of habit. Another example from our quotes: a kitchen, two bathrooms and new floors came to $30,000 total.

We can't tell you what a big store will quote you. Ask for both quotes on the same cabinet list, then compare the box, the hinges and the door line by line. Our pricing page has the per-cabinet numbers to hold next to theirs.

Where to save on a kitchen budget, and where not to

Pickup skips the $300 or $450 delivery charge, and your own assembly skips $38 per base, wall or vanity cabinet.

The box and hinges are where we hold the line. Save on the steps instead. Pick up your order, build the RTA or stock cabinets yourself, and keep the kitchen design simple. Countertops are the other lever: installed quartz starts at $49 per square foot for entry whites like Sparkling White and White Linen, while Calacatta-look and premium slabs run $61 to $72.

Don't save on the measuring. The most common mistake we see is measuring wall length only and missing out-of-square walls, ceiling height at several points, baseboards, casings and plumbing positions. A 1 to 2 inch error means rework or delay. So send photos from all sides, the ceiling height and your layout, and the free design is on us. Every kitchen is designed in 3D before you pay, changes take one message, and our designs stay valid 10 days.

The order runs in a set sequence: a full design with dimensions, your confirmation, a payment link with the specs, your re-check and signature, then production. There's no cancellation, return or exchange after you sign off and pay, because cabinets are made per project. So check the dimensions at each step. Our design page shows the steps.

Do you sell discount kitchen cabinets or clearance pieces?

Two Google reviews, from 2023 and 2024, mention discounts at our showroom, and one of them describes a back section of already assembled single pieces.

Ilse Amezquita wrote in December 2023: “They even have a discounted cabinet section in the back for already assembled single pieces.” Marc Lee wrote in March 2024: “This store has excellent customer service and great discounts on beautiful cabinets. We are adding cabinetry to our laundry room, but they have all cabinet needs covered.”

Clearance stock and pricing change. If one single piece is all you need, call (470) 460-6180 before you drive over.

Which cabinet line fits your kitchen and budget?

Five lines run from RTA to custom, and RTA and stock both start at $1,842 for a 10x10.

Our catalog lists 78 stock and 33 RTA door-and-color variants out of 205 in all. Pre-assembled skips your assembly step. Pick a style by door: shaker, slim shaker, slab for a modern look, raised panel or inset. See door styles and colors and finishes.

Planning a full kitchen remodel or kitchen renovation? We also do kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling and bathroom vanities, so kitchen and bath work comes from one team, whether it's a kitchen and bathroom or the kitchen alone. A dream kitchen up to $100,000 with any countertop is on the table too, and so is a plain 10-cabinet kitchen. If you need custom cabinets or custom cabinetry, start at our custom page.

One honest limit. We don't paint or reface old cabinets, so if yours are sound, we're not your shop. Come to the design desk at the showroom for a design consultation on your layout, storage and budget.

Affordable kitchen cabinets: common questions

Where is the cheapest place to buy kitchen cabinets?
From us, the lowest price is pickup of stock or RTA cabinets: a 10x10 kitchen starts at $1,842, cabinets only, with wall cabinets from $43 and base cabinets from $87. Pickup is free. Delivery in Georgia adds $300 curbside or $450 to the garage, up to 50 miles.
How to find cheap cabinets?
Start with a simple design on a stock or RTA line, then compare quotes on the same cabinet list: box material, hinges, glides and door. Send photos from all sides, ceiling height and wall lengths, and the design is free. Plywood boxes cost 10–15% more than MDF in our projects, and we still recommend them.
Are cabinets cheaper at Lowes or Home Depot?
We can't quote their prices, so compare line by line. In one customer example, a Home Depot quote for cabinets only was $33,000 to $34,000, and our painted cabinets came to $7,800. Get both quotes on the same cabinet list, including box material and hardware, then see which one holds up.
Is it cheaper to buy RTA or assembled cabinets?
RTA starts lower before labor: a 10x10 runs $1,842 to $4,882, median $3,050, against $2,859 to $9,384, median $5,691, for pre-assembled. Our assembly adds $38 per base, wall or vanity cabinet and $75 per tall one. Installation by our crew is $130 per box, or $90 if ready-assembled.
Do your affordable cabinets have plywood boxes?
On our main lines, yes: ½-inch plywood boxes, ¾-inch plywood shelves and ⅝-inch solid wood dovetail drawer boxes. One frameless slab line uses a ¾-inch engineered furniture board box with lacquered MDF-core doors, and painted lines use an MDF center panel in the door. The specs come with the payment link, before you sign.
