👀 5 THINGS YOUR CABINET MAKER WON’T TELL YOU…
…but you SHOULD know before you say YES to that quotation. 😉
Getting a cabinet isn’t just about choosing a color and asking, “Magkano po?”
Here are 5 things to check:
1️⃣ NOT ALL LAMINATED BOARDS ARE THE SAME
Two cabinets can look identical outside but have completely different materials inside.
Ask about the:
• Cabinet material & thickness
• Backing material
• Edge finishing
• Overall construction
👉 What’s underneath the finish matters.
2️⃣ HARDWARE MATTERS. 🔧
Good hinges, drawer slides and mechanisms can make a huge difference in everyday use.
✔️ Smoother operation
✔️ Better durability
✔️ Better experience
Don’t just ask, “Anong kulay?”
Ask: “Anong hardware ang gagamitin?”
3️⃣ MORE CABINETS ≠ BETTER STORAGE
A good cabinet is designed around what you actually store.
Kitchen? Pots, appliances, spices & plates.
Wardrobe? Clothes, shoes & accessories.
The goal isn’t to fill every wall.
👉 It’s to make every space useful.
4️⃣ THE CHEAPEST QUOTE ISN’T ALWAYS THE CHEAPEST OPTION. 💰
Before comparing prices, check what’s included:
📌 Materials
📌 Hardware
📌 Finishing
📌 Accessories
📌 Installation
📌 Delivery
📌 Lighting
📌 Warranty
Two quotations can have the same size but completely different inclusions.
Compare what you’re actually getting.
5️⃣ GOOD CABINETRY STARTS BEFORE FABRICATION. 📐
Proper measurements, layout, clearances, electrical points, appliance dimensions and installation conditions should all be considered before cutting the first board.
Because once fabrication starts…
😅 CHANGES BECOME EXPENSIVE.
💡 BONUS TIP:
Don’t be afraid to ask questions.
A professional cabinet maker should be able to explain what you’re getting, why it’s being used, and where your money is going.
