Scherr’s Cabinets & Doors

This is a GREAT way to get custom cabinets at a semi custom price!
First off, the quality of the cabinets is second to none. You have a choice of a slew of different woods and lots of designs. I opted for a classic shaker style in white birch.
The cabinets are prefabricated in a factory setting in Minot ND then shipped to you knocked down IKEA style. This means that they are all square. Nothing wonky here. We had a big kitchen to do so opted to have our contractor put them together. Once he figured out how to assemble the first one, the others went together assembly line style.
That said, these are not your IKEA-​grade quality cabinets. My contractor was blown away by the strength and durability of these cabinets. After seeing him put some together, I’m convinced that a couple of people with some basic shop skills can handle this job. My contractor opines that, even with him and a helper putting the cabinets together, the cost of these cabinets was easily 40% less than what I would have paid for comparable custom cabinets.
The people that you work with at Scherr’s are also fantastic. Very friendly and knowledgeable. I worked extensively with Leon who was amazing. He was usually immediately available to answer any and all questions.
Some things to consider; the way these cabinets are constructed is that there are grooves on the inside of the cabinet to accept the back. This is designed for ease of construction but also for strength. This arrangement does take away from the overall depth of the cabinet. You should keep this in mind when designing. Make sure your dinner dishes will fit in the upper cabinets if that is where you decide to store them.
For lower cabinets, a 24-​inch lower cabinet is standard and, if you are looking at man-​made materials, it’s important to keep that dimension. Sheets of Quartz for instance are 55 inches wide, which makes it exactly twice what you need for a countertop that includes a lip. So it’s much more economical to keep that depth even if Scherr’s construction means you might lose a half inch in depth.
So, would I do a kitchen this way again, you bet, I wouldn’t hesitate to do it all over again! The best!
