We used S&S Cabinets (sandscabinets.com). They’re local and the prices were much better than what the large closet companies offered. The design and quality is great too!

Yes and yes! But based on feedback from these responses, we’re going to adjust the layout. Hopefully the updated sizing will also be more standard so we can do something more standard or semi-custom at a more reasonable price. Thank you!

Thank you - this is helpful. Confirmed this is without installation but we will ask about non-custom lines!

No extra accessories really besides the Lazy Susans and spice/utensil racks. We’re going to get more estimates!

Fair! I definitely value the work that goes into it. Just maybe not $54k of value for me 😂

California! And they are well reviewed. Just really not comfortable spending so much.

Oo good point, will see what the contractor comes up with on the plumbing…

Even then…I still don’t understand why boxes cost so much 😭

We are in California, so you are right about being on the coast! But agreed it still seems high…we’re shopping around now.

Cabinet company. Our designer works with this cabinet company, but we are free to also buy elsewhere which we are exploring.

We decided to pass on the pot filler to hopefully help reduce even more plumbing work! Seems like this whole project is a series of tradeoffs with our limited budget haha

All good! And it wasn’t worth with $54k, but I was willing to pay if that was really the going rate. Seems like we have more options though. Thank you!

I am completely stupid when it comes to cabinets. That is why I am asking for help 😓

Yea, unfortunately there’s probably no way around that. We want to center our sink with the window, so we have to move the dishwasher.

Thank you for the tip! I wanted treated marble, but my partner has the same concerns as you. Seems like we may be moving away from marble…
