REALLY CHEAP KITCHEN CABINETS!!!

Adrianne C on Jun 16, 2014Yep, been there several times! Really dislike that stuff! Had a sink overflow once on a rental and the "Melamie" countertop swoll up a couple of inches! Currently working on a piece of furniture for a dear older lady and the whole thing is like that. I'll end up rebuilding the entire cabinet. What I do is build a basic cabinet, copying the one that's in there currently, except use real wood and plywood. Birch is furniture grade, but it's more expensive. Buying cabinets can be super expensive. In the house I'm currently in, there were the old 50's style metal cabinets that I moved around and positioned where I thought would be good. That might be an option if you could find some.Helpful Reply

Mon1040256 on Jan 02, 2015I know what you're talking about - I used to hate, hate, hate my kitchen because of those cheap kitchen cabinet that came with the mobile home. Ours also were damaged over a short period of time after we bought the mobile home (swelling from moisture). We recently re-did our entire kitchen replacing our kitchen cabinets with in stock kitchen cabinets from H. Depot (also replaced the floor, lighting and put up a tile backsplash). I don't think we spent over $1700 (got them on sale). We would buy a couple of cabinets when we had extra money and my brother would install them for us (the entire process took 4-5 months). The end result was beautiful - looks like an entirely different kitchen.Helpful Reply

Terra Gazelle on Feb 18, 2015My cabinets did the same thing in my double wide...we are getting ready to remodel the kitchen and replacing the cabinets. I thought about painting but there is no way with the damage..I thought about just getting new doors, they are so much cheaper. But I wanted taller cabinets so we are splurging. I got a new granite sink..( love at first site) so I have a laminate counter (to get the sink I had to save some where else...but I really like it. Looks like granite and even my cheapo counters held up pretty much. New italian porceylin tiles, gorgeous back splash with open shelving. I am excited to have cabinets that do not look like I never washed them..they are So scuzzy!Helpful Reply
