| I am planning a trip to Pennsylvania, Lancaster and Hershey areas, to shop for kitchen cabinets. I would appreciate any tips on where to go for some well made kitchen cabinets. I am looking for something better than Home depot quality with an affordable price, but I am definitely not in the market for custom cabinetry. I plan to get a wood stain on either maple or cherry. Thanks for your help! |

| If you are going to look for Amish/mennonite cabinet makers in PA, they are all going to be custom cabinetry as far as I know. We went to many different places (we're very close to Lancaster) and didn't encounter any who had off-the-rack cabinets (for lack of a better word). That said, Home Improvement Outlet " has what seemed to be reasonably affordable semi-custom cabinetry when we went in there looking for floors, but I didn't really look into it at all because we'd already found our cabinet maker and I have no idea who makes it or if it is the same brands as you'd find everywhere else. Most of the non-custom places we went to did just sell the same stuff you'd get anywhere else (Kratmaid, Candlelight, Medallion, etc.) so there wouldn't probably be a lot of use in you going to Lancaster, etc. just to look at that stuff. Our custom cabinet maker was less expensive than Medallion or Candlelight. Our cabinet maker is Dutch Wood Kitchens When we were looking, we also went to Oxford Cabinet Company on the recommendation of people here: Here is a thread on the same question: cabinet cost |

| I second beagles..if you don't want custom, there's no reason to make a trip out to Amish country. If you're saying you're not interested in custom because of price, you will probably be surprised. My custom cabinet maker cost the exact same as Thomasville from HD, but I had custom sizes, glass doors, ROTS, hardware AND installation included in the custom price. My guys aren't in Amish Country, they are not far off of Route 78 near Easton, PA - Blue Mountain Woodworking in Bath, PA. |
