How much do kitchen cabinets cost in Chicago?
For a typical 10×15 ft L-shaped kitchen — roughly 18 linear feet of base and wall cabinets combined — in-stock cabinets run about $2,500 for a budget-friendly shaker up to around $6,700 for a high-end style. That is cabinets only, before installation, countertops, and delivery. Per linear foot, expect roughly $175 (budget) to $310 (high-end). Every estimate is a ±20% ballpark; your exact price depends on the specific cabinets, accessories, and configuration.

| Most popular | Shaker Karamel | ~$210 | $3,000–$4,500 |

What affects your cabinet cost?
- Kitchen size & layout — more linear feet of cabinets means a higher total. U-shaped and island kitchens use more than a single-wall or galley.
- Door style & finish — a budget shaker white costs noticeably less per foot than a premium wood-look or specialty finish.
- Assembled vs. RTA — assembled cabinets add a labor fee; ready-to-assemble saves if you build them yourself.
- Accessories — soft-close is standard, but pull-outs, organizers, and decorative ends add to the total.
