How stock, semi-custom and custom cabinets differ in sizes, options, construction and lead time.
Cabinets are sold at three general levels. Stock cabinets come in set sizes and limited options and are available quickly. Semi-custom cabinets also come in set sizes but offer many more door styles, finishes and modifications. Custom cabinets are built to your exact room, with any size, door, wood and finish you choose. The labels are not exact, so what matters is what each proposal includes.
Stock works well in simple rooms and tight schedules. Semi-custom suits many kitchens that need more choice. Custom is best when the room has odd walls, a special style or unusual storage needs. Homeowners in Nashville often combine levels, such as semi-custom for most of the room and custom for a pantry or island. We help you decide where each level makes sense.
