Buy Cabinets Online vs. Local Showroom: Which Is Better for Your Kitchen Remodel?
If you have been searching "cabinet makers near me" or visiting local kitchen showrooms, you already know how quickly the price tags add up. What many homeowners do not realize is that buying wholesale RTA cabinets online from a company like Lanae Cabinetry often gets you better quality, faster delivery, and a fraction of the cost.
Here is an honest side-by-side comparison.
Why Showrooms Cost More
Local cabinet showrooms carry significant overhead: commercial space, sales staff, designer commissions, and display costs. All of it gets built into your quote. Showroom pricing typically runs $300 to $1,200 per linear foot for semi-custom and custom options, plus separate charges for design services and delivery.
When you buy wholesale kitchen cabinets online from Lanae, you skip all of that. No showroom, no markup, no commissioned sales process. Just high-quality cabinets at direct wholesale prices.
What You Get with Lanae Instead
Wholesale pricing. Lanae's ready to assemble cabinets come in at approximately $100 to $300 per linear foot, depending on your layout. On a 20-linear-foot kitchen, that alone can save you $4,000 to $18,000 compared to a showroom.
Free professional design. Showrooms charge $500 to $1,500 for design services. Lanae's in-house design team creates your complete cabinet layout for free. You can also use our free online kitchen design tool to plan your own space in minutes.
Fast shipping. Most Lanae orders ship the next business day from one of our three U.S. warehouses in Salt Lake City, UT; Lititz, PA; and Mobile, AL. Orders arrive in 2 to 7 business days, compared to 4 to 16 weeks from a semi-custom or custom showroom.
No minimum order. Order one cabinet or a full kitchen. There is no minimum.
Free shipping on orders over $2,500. Curbside delivery anywhere in the U.S. at no extra cost.
Real U.S.-based customer support. Our team is based in Austin, TX. When you call, a real person answers.
The One Thing Showrooms Have That We Don't
You can walk in and see assembled displays in person. Lanae's solution is sample doors: order any finish and see it in your actual kitchen before committing to your full order.
