prefab, flatpacked???
the flat packed stuff is garbage from my experience.

Medallion makes a quality all wood cabinet with dovetail joinery and choice of wood species. There are others. I have a friend who I buy from that carries the Medallion lines. I am a fanatical perfectionist...and I used Medallion in my last home...I will use them again.

the idea that only custom "shop built" cabinets are of quality is not true. In fact, most shop built cabinets can not compare with the finish applied on a factory "box" cabinet.

are there junk box cabs...absolutely. There are also a lot of garbage shop built cabinets. Yes, many (most) shops have mastered the art of cabinet door shaping and cabinet joinery...but not many shops have the facilities to apply an outstanding finish.
