      • Melamine \n
      • Laminate\n

        *Two pack kitchens are 60% more expensive ($800 and $1,440).\n

        Wall units vary based on the hinges used and whether you use glass fronts. The glass option doubles the cost. Generally though, wall units are cheaper than base units.\n

        Tall units cost $900 each, however adding 5 drawers will double the cost to $1,800.\n\n
