These types of answers are really hard as it depends on your home’s location, exact sizes and styles, etc. And photos would help. A few years ago I had quotes for custom cabinets in my medium sized kitchen for “solid wood.” On closer look at the quote, it wasn’t all solid but seems similar to yours - I don’t remember exact wording. Soft close doors, simple design. It was about $100k not including demolition and installation. So, based only on this, you’re getting quite a bargain. But, clearly, an answer has so many variables.

Honestly $50k for that amount of cabinetry in white oak veneer ply sounds Inexpensive to me.

Id be more worried about why the price is so low…really, really low.

Way way low, to be quality. And veneer is SUPERIOR to "solid wood" for most applications. Including cabinetry.

Of course white oak veneer can be sanded and painted or restained, but that would only be if you are a Philistine. Or you are so abusive to your home that you ruin them immediately.

We had a 15’ x 13’ kitchen in our old house, and we were quoted approximately $100K for white oak cabinetry.

What is solid and what isn't? The boxes, shelves and end panels would not be solid wood, even by the highest end cabinetmaker. The fronts and frames could be solid, and often are. Sometimes panels in Shaker or similar doors are veneered.

As others have said, it sounds too cheap.

I was the one that started the ball rolling, by saying it sounded inexpensive.

But on the other hand, I don't want to extrapolate that they are cheaply built or "not expensive Enough" from that price, because we know nothing about them otherwise.

The guy who has been doing most of the work on my renovation is very inexpensive by many standards and he does much better work than a lot of the things I see in here that people say are "normal", "standard", "perfectly acceptable" and so forth. There are a number of reasons he is inexpensive which I won't go into here, just suffice it to say he charges what he charges for various reasons.

Thank you. They by no means feel or look cheap in my opinion. its not like ”california closets” or ”ikea” or that kind of thing. i just put up a couple of photos. the last one is of a shelf in our closet where a strip of veneer came off. The only place in entire house this happened and not happy about it. But guessing that veneer strip is typical for this particular component of the build? Maybe you guys can tell the internal makeup of the system from it.

Just needs the edgebanding ironed back on.

It's not grain matched, and the edgebanding could be better. Also doesn't look like a custom laid up veneer, but just cut and edgebanded species plywood. Which would be correct for that price point.

The biggest issue isn't the cabinets. It's the wood pulls. Hand oils will have the finish coming off of those in a short amount of time. Hands should never contact cabinets, despite that being the current fad. Oils and fingernails kill cabinet finishes. Even laminate will get burnished from hand use. The wood pulls need to be switched out to metal or gola inserts. That is a DESIGN ERROR though, not a build issue. Same as the cabinets virtually matching the floor issue.

I wanted everything to match and chose the pulls which are custom hand carved of actual oak. Ill be happy if they last a few years, we’re not heavy with our usage. never had a problem with cabinetry that involves direct contact in the past. Everything else is in house push.

Also why is the floor matxhing cabinetry a “mistake”? Ha. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and this style is actually being seen more and more as design moves to a natural looking raw aesthetic, especially in europe.
