Did you work with a designer for these? I'd like to do a more budget line for our bathroom vanities.

Might be able to save money and get a higher end look by getting Ikea boxes and ordering higher end doors from somewhere like semihandmade who make products specifically for them.

Just FYI, Thomasville doesn't exist as it did before. When the parent company went bankrupt, they sold off the name.

Did people do any comparison shopping on cabinets, like comparing different dealers or lines?

In our last house, which we knew was a 5-7 year proposition, we went with KraftMaid and they were falling off the hinges after 5 years. Paid ~6K in 2017.

This house, which we plan to be in long-term, we went with Decora (amazing color selection). I think our very large kitchen was 37K. Only about a year end, but so far so good.

Thanks for the helpful comments, all. Yes, I understood that Wood Harbor licensed dealers (like many, I suppose) would get a substantial discount off the 'list price.' In this case though (and since Wood Harbor doesn't release pricing to homeowners), I have no idea if the General Contractor (who is NOT a dealer for Wood Harbor) is passing on any of that discount or not.
At $50K for 19 semi-custom cabinets--no special doors or interiors---I just didn't believe than number sounds like much of a 'discounted' price! Maybe the only solution is to independently approach another licensed Wood Harbor dealer for a quote? And the quoted price is in Florida.

For the kitchen, we used Kitchen Bath Studios in Bethesda; and they just gave us a price on the cabinets. I don't know if there was a discount, because I think Signature Cabinets only works with designer people.

Hope you can save some money through a preferred distributor through WoodHarbor!

How was the pricing on Signature compared to Woodharbor?

We are considering these for a small kitchen (10 x 12)remodel - 38 l.f. total of cabinets, (21.5 base and 16.5 wall)...19 total cabinet pieces. Half are Breeze line (budget friendly!) and half are WoodHarbor line. Quote is $50K! Nice cabinets but seems way overpriced for semi-custom.

Any thoughts or suggestions? Has anyone found dealer prices offered vary significantly for the same product since dealer markup is always a secret?

Is this in DC? We have a small kitchen w/o many uppers, but doing an island and full height pantry, and our quote for Signature (custom) was around 30. I don't know the linear feet offhand.
