Q: How do I ensure drawers fit properly?

• <div><p>Careful measurement is crucial&mdash;measure multiple times and account for hardware thickness, seasonal wood movement, and clearance requirements. Test-fit components before final assembly, and consider building one drawer as a prototype before cutting materials for multiple units.</p></div>

Q: Is a pantry a cupboard?

• <div><p>Cupboards can be used in <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/ideas-organize-your-kitchen-pantry-cabinet.htm">pantries</a>, but a pantry in and of itself is not a cupboard. You can have a cupboard built into your pantry for a more custom look, where it would act as a separate piece of furniture or storage element from the rest of your shelves or drawers.</p></div>

Q: What is the most expensive part of a kitchen remodel?

• <div><p>Cabinetry is usually the most expensive part of a kitchen remodel, frequently making up 30% to 40% of the overall costs. Cabinets require a lot of materials and are time-consuming to install. However, you can save significantly by refinishing or refacing existing dated cabinets that are still in good working order. Appliances, countertops, and flooring are the other costly elements to budget for. </p></div>

Q: Should I use handles or knobs on upper cabinets?

• <div><p>You can use either handles or knobs on upper cabinets&mdash;go with what you like best. Pulls can sometimes make hard-to-reach upper cabinets easier to open, which is why it&rsquo;s common to see kitchens that have handles on upper cabinets and knobs on drawers and base cabinets. But it&rsquo;s also common to use knobs on doors and pulls on drawers. Let your aesthetics, budget, and practical considerations about how you use your cabinets dictate your decision. </p></div>
