You are going to pay more that $150 per cabinets at the big box stores for particle board junk for cabinets that size and they won't be half as nice as what your going to build. Quality costs money.

I have a tendency to go with better quality hardware on stuff for myself and was really surprised how expensive it has gotten on a project I did last year. My daughter had something similar done in her living room, I could check with her on what she paid for professionally built and installed cabinets. Her price should be slightly less since it was done as part of her kitchen cabinets. The only problem is she is out of town this week so she cannot look at the paperwork.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">With that said you are missing one critical item.
