Best place to buy ALL WOOD kitchen cabinets
Hi all,
Can anyone refer us to a place that sells all wood kitchen cabinets - pricing is a major concern for us. We are interested in white shaker style cabinets. We are also planning on installing black granite counter tops - any recommendations? We were at Weisman's this weekend but the cabinets we liked were 8k for a basic 10x10 and granite was $69/sf. Am I foolish to think I can find the kitchen cabinets I am looking for a much lower price? Thanks in advance.

IKEA's cabinets are NOT all wood 10:56. You completely didn't understand the question.

I don't think you'll find all wood cabinets for much less than that. Although Im not sure why the last poster says Ikea cabinets aren't made of wood - some are laminate but they have a few wood styles as well. If you mean solid wood (rather than particle board, etc..) than I don't think there are any budget options for solid wood construction.
Try the stone companies around 3rd avenue for better prices on granite.

Go to Stone Depot in Greenpoint for granite or KBS near the entrance of the BQE East and Kent. You shouldn't pay more than 50-55 dollars a foot installed for the granite. Regarding cabinets, I agree with other posters about price for new all wood cabinets. You can buy other peoples "mistakes" at Green Demolitions in CT. The money goes to drug rehab centers and it is stocked with new kitchens from mid-upper end manufacturers.

Try L&T on 2nd Ave and 60th in Sunset Park.

OP here,
Thank you Donatella for the recommendation of Green Demoltions, that place is a goldmine. I looked at what they have to offer online and it is fantastic resource for someone trying to install a nice, quality kitchen at a good price. They have a lot of things that have never been used but drastically reduced in price. I think we are going to take the train out this weekend to look at the CT location as I was told that is the largest one of the three at 11,000 sf.
Anyone else looking for economical kitchens or bathrooms may want to check them out also.

I have a chinese company located in lower bedstuy /williamburg area whos done a couple of kitchens for me, great price but you have to haggle. Feel free to minus 15% from whatever price they ask you for the cabinets and granite coutertop of your choosing. The great thing about them is they come out to measure and also install, unlike Ikea and others. I dont have their showroom/office address with me now but my contact person's name is Jacquy and his business number is 718 596-4000 and his cell number is 718 290-0599. Dont forget, whatever price he gives you once youve picked out your choices, deduct by at least 15% and stick to it. Im sure if not right there, they will call you within a week to accept your offer.

I forgot to mention, all of their cabinets are all wood with some with plywood backs, which is still very good in my opinion in comparison to the press wood junk.
Posted by: guest at November 13, 2007 4:28 PM
I was told by a furniture salesman that plywood construction with a wood veneer is more stable for cabinets because solid wood warps and is subject to natural weak spots in the wood. He also told me that a particle board cabinet with what he called a photo finish paper veneer was the worst option for a kitchen cabinet. Does anyone know how true this is?
Posted by: guest at November 13, 2007 9:01 PM
That's true.

If you are at all handy, consider looking (way) out of town. We got kitchen cabs from a company called Scherr's in North Dakota. They (and others) advertise in Fine Homebuilding. The carcasses are plywood veneer; the doors are either raised panel or veneer with solid wood edge banding. We chose to get them unfinished, and put the savings towards best quality hardware (full-extension drawer slides, etc.). Assembly is dead easy; finishing less so, but we got great results.
I don't know what a basic 10x10 kitchen is, but we did a full kitchen (over 20' of base cabinets, plus extra-height uppers with glass fronts) for at least 25% less than your quote (almost four years ago), including freight from ND. We provided measurements and they did the carcass layout; absolutely everything (except pulls and glass) was provided. They also have a very good selection of door styles and veneers.
Four years on, we have no complaints about the quality.

I used weiseman's for my kitchen. beautiful, professional (at least with me they were) and solid. they stood behind their product and others came in while i was there w/ minor problems and they were taken care of immediately. they look amazing, delivery was on time, and i thought the price was ok (5K) for a galley style kitchen w/ drawers that ease back instead of slamming shut. get them to "work" on the price they first give you...otherwise i think you'll be happy.

4th year with IKEA cabinets, spent about 3K for everything and couldnt be happier.

I was looking online at kitchenplace.com. Has anyone bought cabinets from them, and how did you like them. How was their service and expertise?
