Have you ever heard the term comparing apples to oranges?
It is something I find myself repeating often. Just like the picture above shows, there aren't many simalarities between apples and oranges other than the knowledge that they are both fruits.
I find that in the cabinetry industry this phrase more than holds true when it comes to customers who are looking for cabinets in their home. Too often than not, a person will look at a space that they want to fill with cabinets and go looking for the cheapest price.
This is a BAD idea.
There are almost as many ways to build cabinets as there are cabinetmakers, which is why it is important for a comsumer to not only be educated but choose a craftsman they can trust.
Don't be afraid to question the person who is going to potientially building your cabinets. This is a big purchase and you have the right to know what your getting for your money. Find out what type of material they use and why. How many years of experience do they have?
Don't be afraid to compare and contrast between cabinetshops. Make sure you know what you are paying for and why. Just because one shop says they can do it for less money, doesn't mean that is the one that will offer you the most bang for your buck!
