Custom, semi-custom or ready to assemble cabinets
We build custom cabinets in our shop and we also sell, assemble and install semi-custom and ready to assemble lines. Since we do all three, here is the straight story on each.
Ready to assemble
Artisan Mills and NKBC
Set sizes and set colors, made in volume, shipped flat and assembled before install.
The fastest option, and a good one when the layout is standard.
A good fit for

- Standard layouts

What does ready to assemble mean?
The cabinets ship flat in boxes and get put together before they go in. When you buy them from us, we assemble them in our shop and install them, so to you they arrive as finished cabinets.
Can I mix custom and semi-custom in one kitchen?
Sometimes it makes sense, like custom built-ins next to a semi-custom kitchen. We can tell you at the consultation where mixing works and where the difference would show.
Which one gets here fastest?
NKBC cabinets are kept in stock nearby and are usually ready in 1 to 2 business days. Spring Forest takes 5 to 10 days. Artisan Mills takes about a week in white and 3 to 4 weeks in other colors. Custom cabinets are ready to install 4 to 6 weeks after you approve the final drawings.
Do you install cabinets from all three?
Yes. We assemble, deliver and install every line we sell.
