My builder typically uses Wolf Classic cabinets. I've never heard of them before and don't see a lot of reviews on them. It looks like Wolf has 5 different lines of cabinets ranging from their Wolf Designer ($$$$) down to Builders Mark ($). The Classic line is one step above Builders Mark. Does anyone know anything about them? Are they decent quality? If you think they're cheapcrapola, can you tell me whether it is materials, craftsmanship or both? ;) Would stepping up in the Wolf line give me better cabinets, or just more expensive ones?

I don't have to use Wolf cabinets. I can use any brand I want, I just might not get the same savings on them. (I get stuff at cost from the builder and pay him a flat fee.) Can you recommend a decent brand that doesn't break the bank? I'm in a rural area and we will have one of the more expensive houses. I can't justify high end cabinets. We don't plan to sell the home. We plan to retire here and hope to only replace the cabinets if/when we want an updated look and not because they're falling apart and need to be replaced. Our current budget for Wolf Classic is $10k for cabinets. (We have separate line items for install and counters.) We think that number is low, but we don't know what type of discount the builder gets. Regardless, we assume we will go over budget on this item because we want to do all drawers on the lower cabinets. Any suggestions for cabinet brands that might meet our needs? Thanks!
