Brookhaven Pricing - Reality Check

14 years ago

Was hoping to get a sanity check.

We're looking at Brookhaven Cabinets:

- 10 lower cabs

- under sink cabs

- 10 42" upper cabs (4 with glass fronts)and crown molding

- 1 pantry cabinet

- 1 4' x 6' island (mixed cabs & drawers)

- 2 large drawers under 36" range top

- misc filler around wall ovens, pullouts, etc.

We haven't made all the final selections but was initially told that with a premium door style, stain and glaze we would be in the $30,000 - $32,000 range.

Does that sound about right? We also priced out a medallion that was much higher.

    It sounds right to me. We are getting 11 smaller upper cabinets - none 42" and only 2 with glass inserts. We don't have an island - just peninsula lower - and we have two pantries. Simple shaker style - paint - no glaze or stain - frameless (which are less expensive than framed in Brookhaven). Simple moldings and the cabinets are $25,000.

    So depending on whether you are looking at Brookhaven I or II and how much extra you are paying for glaze - how much larger your cabinets are, etc. I think that's probably a reasonable amount based on estimates we got from a few places. You may find some room to maneuver a bit once you decide exactly what you want, etc.

    We are putting in BH and the base cabinets sound about right - we got carried away with a few custom items that increased the cost.
    I went back to switch to Maple and ended up adding a glaze to the cherry.
    They are being installed currently! Can't wait to use them.
    Love the soft close

    The one thing that I would consider is a pedal open for the trash - I want to see if I can add this item as my DH is a bit OCD and I am sure he won't touch a handle!

    Gemini-your cabinets are beautiful.

    Brookhaven caBinets are very nice. That price sounds about right.

    Thanks RedLover - we are really excited
    Today, they started the molding - very basic - as our style is basic but sophisticated.

    Early Kitchen
    Autumn Cherry with Black Glaze - I really struggled to find a color that didn't look like I was trying to match the oak floor and failed. I had to submit my order and dragged myself over to the KD store and walked into a bank of cabinets with the ACBG on it. I said, what is that - it is perfect! They still made me drive 30 miles the wrong way with samples to confirm.

    Cabinet style is full overlay. I don't see the actual overly style but it is set at an angle to decrease dust collection opportunities.

    More pictures soon.

    Our Brookhaven cabinets have been in since February and I think they are a great value. The upper cabinets are an inch deeper than many cabinets and it is amazing what that adds. In addition, we have 4 adjustable shelves inside the upper cabinets which adds an entire level of new found space.

    This is just killing me.
    Direct Buy has an agreement with Brookhaven. Imagine these cabinets at about 1/2 price. If you guys were nearer to me....

    I like Brookhaven. I could only afford Norcroft when I did buy something, but I try to do the best quality I can.

    In the meanwhile, OP? That seems outrageous to me. But then, I'm thinking Direct Buy prices.

    (Not a sales person, not a franchisee, receiving nothing from Direct Buy. Our membership helped us when we really needed it.)

    Good to know for the future. ;-)
    Ican. Nice! Now I can not wait til we are done!

    Gemini-set an an angle to decrease dust. Interesting. Is the door cut differently or are the doors just set on the frame differentlly?

    I have wood-mode in my kitchen and brookhaven in the rest of the house. I don't think my doors are angled like yours.

    Icannotwait-you're are gorgeous too.

    This company does a lot of things right.

    I have some dings on a couple of drawers in my kitchen that should be covered by their lifetime finish warranty. Let you all know how that turns out.

    There was a thread last year about Direct Buy cabinets and how the Brookhaven sold at Direct Buy may not have been the same quality as the Brookhaven sold by cabinet stores.

    red lover - not sure if I understand your question
    The overlay has a beveled edge on it.
    The angled cabinet is just an angled cabinet.
    Make sense?
    Hopefully more pictures this weekend as they painted the one wall and window frames and started to put the molding in place - although I might wait another week, so more work is completed.

    Icannotwait - me either!

    Some of the box stores are "Tier 2" in quality, so need to verify quality and warranty level before purchasing.

    "May not."

    Given the fact DB isn't a "box" store, I don't know.
    I haven't experienced this with any of the cabinets I've been able to afford. Warranty is the same, but turn around time seems to be faster. Could be actual bulk. Who knows? "May not" is not "is".

    Before I discovered reuse centers..!

    you might want to check out local custom cabinet makers. may be more affordable way to go.

    I'm in the midwest but that seems VERY high to me. Does it include installation? I just a huge custom Plain & Fancy kitchen with 66" high upper cabinets down to the counter in several places. Her kitchen is around $30K...with their top of the line finish which has a 30% upcharge.

    Ok, I just opened up my design software and priced:
    Medallion Price Group 8 (Medallion has 12 price groups)
    Cherry Wood
    Plywood end upgrade w/ wood veneer ends on all
    Blumotion full extension on all drawers

    10-W3036
    10-B30
    4-B36 for 4x6 island
    1-U30 w/ 4 rollout shelves
    1-SB36
    1-2DB36
    40 ft Wide coved crown molding
    This has to be more than what's in your kitchen.
    Cost $17,000 without current promotion.

    Cost is closer to $16,000 with promotion.

    Price group 12 was $20K

    Something has to be wrong, they included labor or other items or they have a higher profit markup where you are.

    I'm quite sure pricing differs between different areas of the country. Here in CA, EVERYTHING is more expensive than the midwest, and most of the rest of the country, for that matter.

    sjerin. Not sure about that. I once did a price quote on medallion for a woman in California. My bid and her Cali bid were within a couple hundred. I think it has more to do with the dealer and their markup...and also what they include. If random numbers are thrown out...maybe its a ballpark that includes labor, hardware, fixtures...etc.
