They’re not. You’re just looking in the wrong places.
Shaker cabinets are one of the most long-lasting types of cabinets available today. You can find them in many old houses and barns, having been made of wood that was specially chosen for its strength and durability.
Because they are so durable, this style is popular with people looking to renovate their older homes. But sometimes they can seem to be a bit more expensive than other cabinets. Are they that expensive, and why do they seem like they are? We have the answers down below.
REASON #1 – HIGH QUALITY
Though a bit more expensive than modern cabinetry, shaker cabinets offer a very low-maintenance product that will last a long time.
Nearly all shaker cabinets are made from solid wood—typically oak or maple—and other materials like high-end veneers can be used to achieve a similar look. Oak is often a preferred choice because it matches well with most modern furniture pieces and also ages well over time adding character to your home’s kitchen or bathroom. You’ll never see an MDF version of Shaker cabinets from Nelson Cabinetry for this reason.
REASON #2 – DESIGN
The design of traditional Shaker cabinetry has been around since the 1800s, which makes it one of the oldest cabinet styles in America. The original style was a flat-panel door with recessed panels, but as cabinets evolved, so did Shaker’s design. Today, there are many variations on the theme, including those with raised panels and those that feature stained glass inserts.

REASON #3 – EASY TO MAINTAIN
Shaker cabinets are made to be easy to clean, so you won’t find many hardware details that break up the sleek aesthetic. The doors are flush with the cabinet’s face and do not overlap one another, which helps to give them a minimalistic appearance while also making them easier to wipe down after each use. This reduces the number of potential places where dirt can accumulate around your kitchen or bathroom.
REASON #4 – THEY ARE MADE BY PROFESSIONAL CABINETRY COMPANIES
Shaker cabinets were originally only sold in unfinished wood which meant that homeowners who wanted them needed to finish them themselves. Now that most are available pre-finished, they’re instead sold by professional cabinetry companies, so no matter how large or small your home project is, you’ll be able to find someone willing to provide you with beautiful shaker cabinets for a reasonable price.

REASON #5 – THEIR PRICE IS BASED ON SEVERAL OTHER FACTORS
Shaker-style cabinets often cost less than kitchen cabinets with similar styles and designs. When it comes to price, many factors are taken into consideration, like the size of the kitchen, the finishes that are requested, etc. In the end, the labor cost of constructing your dream kitchen can vary depending on the size of your home and your wishes.
