However, there are ways to get high-quality cabinet pieces without spending too much. Here are some kitchen cabinet types with prices that won’t break the bank:

1. Ready-to-assemble (RTA) cabinets
RTA cabinets use cheaper materials than regular cabinets, and are shipped to the buyer not fully assembled, which further lessens its cost of production. Assembling RTA cabinets is easy: most models come with simple lock and bracket systems. Also, instruction manuals are included for easy reference.

2. Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) cabinets
These types of cabinets use fiberboard material that is lighter than wood, but has the same durability. Since fiberboard is easier and cheaper to produce, MDF cabinets are relatively cheaper than wooden cabinets.
3. Custom-made cabinets
Some makers offer custom-made cabinets that are less expensive to produce than regular ones. Since the buyer has the choice of materials to use, customized cabinets can be made using a variety of less expensive wood and other materials.

4. Used cabinets
Used cabinets found in thrift shops or garage sales are viable and attractive options. Depending on the quality, pre-loved cabinets are a fraction of a cost of brand-new cabinets, and might require minimal refurbishing.
