The power of built-ins when building!!! I always discuss built-ins versus furniture piece options with clients when they are building. Built-ins will generally be the same price as a custom furniture piece but I believe they give a home a polished look you cannot get with furniture. Most cabinet makers will charge per cabinet box $275-$450 a box depending on what type of wood, door style, and paint treatment you select. You can also save money but keeping you built ins to 8′ in height as most of the product will generally come in these heights and anything taller is more custom and of course more expensive. I always suggest clients decide whether or not they want to add built-ins at their final plan review before framing starts, this way, we can have the framer custom frame around the built-in dimensions giving them a true built-in look. In the above picture, we also had the cabinet maker add roll out trays inside some of the lower cabinets for DVD storage!!!
