I do hope that you have chance to walk around few kitchen cabinet showrooms to see the reality.
With such high price, of course we'll ask.
Most if not all of them will say the charges are incurred by other contractors... not them, hence fixed price.
They can only tell the quality must be good and no other details.
Also, as I said earlier, they charge by lumpsum "per hole" instead of size or materials.
I do agree that Ikea cabinet is the benchmark.
Honestly, I did install a 14ft base 10ft wall Ikea cabinets by myself for another house.
To my surprise, the wood quality does give better perceived quality than comparable priced melamine cabinets from other vendors.
If I'm going with wood for new cabinet, I'll take Ikea anytime.
Ikea is pricey, for basic quality product.. imo la, once you start exploring bespoke suppliers, their counter-top options are very bland..
also cabinets & carpentry, I prefer aluminium these days..
https://www.apresi.com.mythese guys are the industry standards for great quality aluminium kitchen. But on the pricier side, comparable to ikea prices.
I recommend this company:
