For a small kitchen, I would absolutely splurge on higher end custom cabinets. I squeezed a lot more out of my small space by having custom products made than settling for standard sizes. But did use plywood boxes as I needed frameless to maximize storage space. Not as sturdy but the ease of use and space was worth the trade off.

We elected not to combine our kitchen and dining room in our DC row house and got custom wood cabinets.   The design functionality of custom was worth it; I have a huge amount of storage.  We did tiger maple with a warm cherry finish so the wood looks "satin-like" from the tiger maple grain.  It was pricey but it was worth it and has held up extremely well for 15 years.  I had done white wood cabinets from cabinet discounters before in a prior house renovation and while I love white kitchens, I found that the white finish chipped and wore down quickly on the most heavily-used drawers and cabinets (silverware and glasses, e.g.).
