Types of Cabinets

Cabinet Type	Pros	Cons
Stock	The majority economically priced - can leave room in your budget for other upgrades elsewhere. Completely assembled. Obtainable immediately or in a couple of days after purchase.	Limited choice of wood types,styles, and finishes beyond drawers and cupboards. Can't be adjusted to exact measurements - constructed in standard sizes such as 3" increments.
Semi-Custom/ Built-to-Order	Larger variety of design, storage space options, standard sizes, finishes, and styles. Can include optional modification and factory-installed accessories.	Made-to-order, but with set widths that could maybe require inserts for non-standard dimensions
Custom	Can be built to specially requested capacity and dimensions Designed to fit exact tastes and styles of exact kitchens	Most costly Often not factory constructed, meaning less assurance of construction standards/uniformity Can take a long while, even weeks, to get the final product
