Stock Versus Custom Versus Semi-Custom

Semi-stock, stock,  and custom refers to the manufacturing method used to produce the cabinet.

Stock cabinets are mass produced at the factory. They are often shipped assembled. Sometimes, you must do the Ikea thing and put them together. With stock cabinets, what you see is what you get. You might have a few options when it comes to door style and finish, but you cannot customize these cabinets. These stock cabinets are usually the least expensive choice. Not only are they cheap, you can get them quickly. If it’s in the big box store, all you need to do is drive over and pick it up. Stock is perfect when time is short and budget is tight.

Custom cabinets live on the other end of the spectrum. They can be built on-site or off-site at a shop. These cabinets  are completely made to order. Talk about labor intensive! That’s why custom cabinets are the most expensive option and take the longest time for delivery. However, this is the route to go when you want unique, and one-of-a-kind kitchen cabinets. They are also perfect if you have an odd shaped space that needs a cabinet. The carpenter can measure and make your custom cabinets to fit.

Semi-custom cabinets are the perfect compromise between stock and custom. Think stock cabinets with all sorts of detailing options. You can change the finish, change the door, or change the hardware.  That’s just the beginning. Semi-custom cabinets allow you to resize the cabinet drawers and door fronts and increase or decrease the cabinet depth. You get  individual input into the cabinet design without laying out the cash for custom cabinets.
