When you compare cabinet quotes, the price alone doesn’t tell you what you’re getting. Two cabinets at the same price can be built completely differently. Here are the questions that actually reveal quality — and exactly how Kitchen Cabinets Deal answers each one.

1. Are the cabinet boxes plywood — not particleboard?

Yes. Our boxes are plywood, never particleboard or MDF. On framed cabinets the solid-wood face frame carries the load, so 1/2" plywood is more than strong enough; 3/4" matters most on frameless designs.

2. Are the face frames solid wood?

Yes — solid wood.

3. Are the drawer boxes solid wood with dovetail joints?

Yes — dovetail drawer boxes are standard on every line. Not an upgrade, not an add-on.

4. Are the doors and drawers soft-close?

Yes — soft-close hinges and drawer glides are standard across the board. Prefer a specific premium name? We can build with Blum hardware on request.

5. How long is the lead time?

Our cabinets are kept in stock locally in Chicago, so most kitchens are ready in days — about a week — instead of the months a custom order takes.

6. What’s the warranty?

A 1-Year Limited Warranty on the cabinets, plus a lifetime hardware guarantee — soft-close hinges and glides replaced free for as long as we’re in business.

7. What does it cost?

Value / wholesale pricing — real-wood construction for less than comparable big-box cabinets. Get an exact number in seconds with our free Instant Quote.

The bottom line

Real-wood construction and a designer look, at a value price — often better quality than the big-box option at the same price. In stock, in Chicago, ready in about a week.
