Kitchen Cabinet Prices in Chicago
Here is what kitchen cabinets actually cost at Kitchen Cabinets Deal — real numbers, not a range built to get you on the phone. We sell real-wood cabinets for less: plywood boxes with solid birch door and face frames, priced below custom and below comparable big-box lines. Most styles are in stock and delivered in about 5 days. The tiers below are the same rates our instant quote tool uses, so the price you see here is the price we quote.
Kitchen cabinet prices by tier
Cabinet sellers quote a 10×10 kitchen — a standard set of base and wall cabinets — so you can compare sellers apples-to-apples. At KCD a 10×10 starts around $3,300 and rises with the line, door style, and finish.
| Cabinet line | 10×10 (cabinets + assembly) |
|---|---|
| Value — white/gray shaker, in-stock | $3,300 – $4,900 |
| Better — upgraded framed / color & two-tone | $3,900 – $5,900 |
| Best — premium (white-oak / specialty) | $5,100 – $7,700 |
The number you see is the number you pay — no consultation fee, restocking fee, or contractor-desk markup. For the full breakdown, the instant cost calculator, and how the 10×10 is built, see our kitchen cabinet cost guide for Chicago.
What changes your price
- Kitchen size / cabinet count — the biggest single factor; more cabinets and specialty units (corners, pantries, tall) cost more.
- The line — value shaker vs. upgraded construction, color, and two-tone.
- Door style & finish — painted, two-tone, and specialty finishes cost more than standard.
- Accessories — soft-close is standard; trash pull-outs, lazy Susans, glass doors, crown, and organizers add to the total.
- Assembled vs. RTA — assembled adds a per-cabinet labor fee; ready-to-assemble saves if you build them yourself.
- Stock vs. custom — in-stock standard sizes are almost always cheaper and faster than semi-custom or custom.
Real wood, priced for less
KCD is not the cheapest sticker in town, and we do not pretend to be. The rock-bottom prices the chains advertise are for particle-board or thermofoil boxes. Ours are built higher — real plywood boxes, never particle board, with solid birch frames and soft-close hardware standard — and still priced to beat the comparable line, usually about 10% under the big-box stores when you compare the same cabinet. Every cabinet carries a lifetime hardware guarantee, and builders and developers get wholesale pricing with no retail markup.
