Kitchen Cabinets Recommendations

[Amanda Lodge]

Hello everyone! I closed on my first house hack property yesterday and I have a ton of work to do on this place before it's ready for roommates. The kitchen cabinets badly need to be replaced and I'm looking for some good recommendations from Denver area folks on affordable, good quality kitchen cabinets. 

Thanks!

My experience has been that a company will either manufacture their own cabinets, assemble kits from other manufacturers, or import kits from IKEA or China. Except for very high end homes, kit cabinets work great for 15+ years.

IKEA cabinets are an awesome value if you have the time and patience to design, deliver, assemble, and install yourself. If you outsource all that, the costs rise significantly.

I live in the Seattle area, and we have a large number of Chinese importers of cabinets, granite, etc., their quality is good and price great. In fact, I now only use Chinese import & install companies. The price and quality is far superior to Home Depot and the like.

I don't know if your area has any direct Chinese importers. If you find any, they may be the best value.
