Basically some cleaned up plywood with dressed up facades and some hardware that ranges from servicable to highend but not overly expensive. What am I missing?

Build your own then.
I'm asking a question chief. If you can't answer it, sitck to moderating.
No. I just like to bust Cman's nads.I read his curt reply as "you think they aren't worth a price, build your own and see the quality you end up with". Then perhaps you understand what you are paying for. building a box is easy, building one that shows the craftsmanship, is the same for 6 cabinets side by side, and functions well is a PITA. I was considering but ended up deciding to not build my own. And I have the tools to to do it. Some are definitely overpriced, agreed. However, you say plywood, many these days don't even use plywood, they use press board/MDF to lower the price and quality.

It's all labor. It's like taking your car to the dealer for a repair, Parts are $25 and Labor is $500.Basically some cleaned up plywood with dressed up facades and some hardware that ranges from servicable to highend but not overly expensive. What am I missing?
He's a troll!No. I just like to bust Cman's nads.
He's a troll!
Obviously, Cman.So who the hell is moderating the moderators?
Obviously, Cman.
Believe me, there are several on this board who monitor my every move.
Near as nice. Not.knock down cabinets are the value prospect. Basically they come in a box and you have to assemble them. Many of the knock down sets are as nice as high end cabinets at a fraction of the price.
The guy I used for my Palm Beach jobs had a shaper from the 1920's and a wall full of knives to go with it. I never found a profile he couldn't match regardless the age. He did unbelievable work and was compensated well.The level of detail/intricate cuts that a good cabinet man can do amazes me. I couldn't build a square bird house but the guy that did our house cut the crown molding on the top of the cabinets to mesh with custom window trim. Seamless!
