It's a craft that's passed down from one generation to the next and takes great pride in custom and bespoke cabinets. Most cabinets (even factory-made ones) require a bit of practical work and that involves labor costs, driving up the price. The wood and accessories used to assemble kitchen cabinets are heavy and bulky. Shipping these materials involves a high cost to the manufacturer or retailer, and they pass that cost on to you.
So what are the reasons for the high cost of kitchen cabinets? There are several factors that can influence the price of kitchen cabinets, such as the quality of construction, the choice of custom or stock cabinets, the types of wood materials used, labor costs, installation, removal of old cabinets, the cost of hardware and the design and characteristics of cabinets. Kitchen cabinets are very expensive because of the quality and manual work that builds them.
