I’m on a shoestring budget for our kitchen remodel. It is a tiny galley kitchen, with cabinets (top and bottom) running about 12.5 feet along one wall. Is it possible to find cabinets that would fit this space for under 00 (including labor)? Thanks for any input!
I should say – I don’t care how plain and simple they are. Just going for a clean, updated look with no frills.

That is a tight budget but doable if you dont include tops in that price. You have to forget about all the bells and whistles and not be afraid of that horrible curse word "particle board’ which by the way is far superior to plywood cabinets. The other thing is you have to stay away from the big orange who only wants your little green. They charge full list price. You would not pay list price – MSRP – sticker price for your new car so dont pay it for cabinets.
There are discount kitchen dealers in every major city. Most everyone today discounts from list. Do not be tempted by those ads that say all complete wood cherry kitchen for $895. What that is would be cheap junk formaldehyde and sulfur infested Chinese made junk. Fall for these and you will be putting your families health at great risk.
You can save a lot of money with ready to assemble wood cabinets. You can do it yourself and stay on budget. Good luck!
