You may be wondering how Showplace products differ from cabinets you can purchase from “big box” stores. Their stock cabinets may look similar from the outside, but there’s more of a difference than meets the eye.
Here’s what you get from stock cabinetry purchased from a national chain store or stock cabinet company:
- Standard-sized cabinets offered
- Standard offering of wood species
- Standard selection of finish colors
- Standard selection of door styles
- Limited or no ability to change cabinet dimensions
- May be built-to-order, but often built ahead and sold from inventory
- Priced most affordably due to limitations and materials used
Showplace produces semi-custom cabinets. Although Showplace will build custom configurations and offers custom paint colors, we do not offer limitless species or custom door styles and custom stains. Here is a list of generally accepted semi-custom cabinet attributes:
- Standard-sized cabinets offered; virtually any dimension of these cabinets may be changed to fit the kitchen or bath design and the available space
- Standard offering of wood species with some specialty species offered
- Standard selection of finish colors with some specialty finish treatments offered
- Standard selection of door styles
- Custom sizing and configurations available within standard wood species, color, and style offerings
- Cabinets built-to-order for individual homeowner
- Mid-priced to reflect flexibility and broad product offerings
Showplace offers many custom features found with other cabinet makers who call themselves custom; since there are no universally accepted attributes to describe custom cabinets, we thought we’d share this list:
- Standard sized cabinets may be available; specialty is “you draw it, we build it”
- Standard offering of wood species, but will accommodate special requests
- Standard finish colors offered, but will accommodate special requests for color matching and specialty finish treatments
- Standard door styling offered, but will accommodate special requests
- Special configurations of cabinetry are offered without restrictions on species, color and style
- Cabinets built-to-order for individual homeowner
- Most expensive due to limitless options
