To all,
My daughter is in the process of buying her first house. She's found a nice starter town home inside the beltline and hopes to close and move in during the holidays. Now, while the house is going to need lots and lots of TLC over the years, she'd really love to have her kitchen cabinets done before she moves in. I'm reading through all the postings here on previous vendor & supplier recommendations, but I'd like to request one more:
She has about 15' linear feet of bottom cabinets (galley kitchen, 8' on one side, 7' on the other) with probably about 10' of top cabinets total. Does anyone have any recommendations on where we can find good quality reasonably priced cabinets here in the RTP area that won't break the bank? We're looking for plywood cabinets (no fiberboard) and granite counter tops if a package deal would be cheaper.
We started looking at the Borgs, but reading through the online reviews it seems that even their top of the line does not hold up well or have great reviews for durability. I made a call to the place that did our cabinets (Merrilat) and she gave me an over the phone estimate of $7-12K and that's just not doable for my daughter (and we're already helping her with other things so money is tight).
So, long story made short:
I know there's a lot of variables in here, but is this a reasonable budget and anyone have any recommendations?

So, long story made short:
- ~15 feet of bottom cabinets & ~10 feet of top cabinets
- Plywood boxes with solid wood doors
- We can do the install, just looking for cabinets
- Would like to keep the granite and cabinets total in the <$5k range.
