How to save $400 off a custom cabinet.

image image

Ordered my cabinets. I wanted an 18” deep pantry, but only stock sizes were 12”and 24”. Custom depth was $400 extra. So, ordered the 24”, took a deep breath, cut it up, re-drilled a whole lotta shelf-mounting holes, trimmed the shelves, and put it back together. Took a little longer than I thought, but it looks perfect.
