Consider The Cheap Cabinets Philadelphia Can Offer

By Dora Reed


You can choose from a variety of kitchen cabinets or cupboards for your home. Most of the cheap cabinets Philadelphia residents can choose from are customizable and meets their specific needs. Stock cupboards are best for people on a budget, while semi-custom and custom ones are pricey.

Stock or basic cupboards are bought off-the-shelf and can immediately be installed. They are available in different options of shapes, styles, and sizes. In most cases, they have standard heights and widths, and are made with particleboard material. Those who don't mind the limited options of style and fit of these basic cabinets can get the best value for their money. These days, stock cupboards have solid wood doors and fair-quality drawers.

What your kitchen cabinet is made of matters quite a bit. High quality wood cupboards are pricey, especially if they are made of premium wood like cherry or walnut. If you want to spend a bit less, you should consider plywood or medium-density fiberboard with wood color laminates.

Medium-density fiberboard, or MDF, are considered cheap and low quality. However, they are actually quite smooth and strong. This is a high grade, composite material that stands sturdy in heat and humidity changes, though not as well as wood can. MDF can be a better choice as well when considering to paint the doors. Real wood has grains and knots that might bleed through the paint layer.

Kitchen cupboards sometimes come with extra features that allow manufacturers to charge their customers more. They might install turntables that are built-in in order to raise the prices. However, you can find an equally well-working turntable for a lot cheaper, then install it yourself quite easily. You'll be able to spend a lot less for equal workability.

If you avoid buying cupboards that come with extra hardware features, you can also save more money. Big brand names should be avoided as well, since they always try to advertise overpriced products. As long as you browse smaller manufacturers, you can definitely find cupboards that are equally good and a lot more affordable.

You might want to also visit salvage shops for a secondhand cabinet, as well as thrift stores. If you'd like a new cabinet, you can also wait until the manufacturers have discounts. Big-box home improvement stores often offer discounts on their wholesale kitchen cupboards, so keep a look out for them.

You'll also save some money if you install the cabinets yourself. You'll obviously need the skills, experience, and the time to properly assemble and install them. If you do decide to do it yourself, get some help for the inevitable heavy lifting involved. This will be a whole lot safer, as well as more efficient in finishing your installation.

When searching for cupboards, keep in mind that you can still get good quality ones for a cheap price. Pricey, real wood cupboards aren't required to have durable storage space in your kitchen. You'll need to do some research on the more affordable ones, and spend some time bargain hunting. As long as you do all this, you can be sure to find the best cabinets for your pocket and kitchen.
