Hi all

Just got my key recently and trying to build my dream kitchen. Basically my biggest criteria for the aesthetic is shaker door

I have asked a few KC companies for quotation and if I want to have shaker door, I have to use either blockboard, HDF or solid wood
And there's also the question of the carcass too. If I want aluminium, the cost multiplies like crazy.
In general, I was quoted HDF panels with melamine/plywood carcass is about 35k+ and solid wood panels with melamine/plywood carcass would be 40k+++

Then I went to expo and found a few company that does full aluminium cabinets.
Not only they have shaker door but they quote me about 30-35k for a full aluminium cabinets.
Their warranty is also longer.

Is there a difference in the aluminium material used by the mixed material vendors vs the full aluminium ones?
Coz I'm wondering why the price difference is quite significant.

Also any known cons for those who have done fully aluminium cabinets?
