Best source for kitchen cabinets?

Hi All,

I have a potential flip that needs a new kitchen.  Who do you use for inexpensive kitchen cabinets?  Big box store?  In the past I had an awesome custom cabinet guy but I've moved to a new area and don't have one yet.

Thanks!

Ordered mine from amazon. Had to message them the exact dimensions. Came out very nice and free shipping.

I have found that you can find a local cabinet dealer that will get "knock down" cabinets (shipped disassembled flat in a box like IKEA), where the boxes are plywood (rather than MDF or particle board) and they are inexpensive as well. One such supplier in my area is called "House Possible" and you can order from his website and they will ship to you. But I think you will be better off finding the place near you that operates in a similar manner. 

And although they come from the manufacturer in knock down form, the local dealer will usually assemble them for a small markup, and even deliver to the job site. That is what I typically am looking for, so that it is no different than getting from the big box stores except for better built cabinets at a great price; that reduces contractor reluctance to install cabinets from an unfamiliar source. 

Any other "knock down" cabinet companies you know of in PA?  I'm in Harrisburg and looking for a standard 36" wide sink base cabinet that isn't particle board like all the ones at Lowes and Home Depot.

I use Alex the Kitchen Guy (name of one of his websites). Google search that phrase and you will find it. You can tell him I suggested you contact him for cabinets.
