This question is usually framed as a budget question and it is really a fit question. Stock cabinets come in a fixed grid of sizes; custom cabinets are made to your dimensions. The honest way to decide is to find out whether the grid covers your room - and for most kitchens it does, which is not what the word "stock" leads people to expect.
The reason this decision gets made badly is that people picture "stock" as a dozen widths. The catalog here runs 73 products across 9 collections, and roughly 20,889 individual size variations. A collection is not one item - it is every width, height and depth that line is offered in.
That number is the whole argument. A run that can be covered by real cabinet widths plus one filler is a run that does not need custom work. Before assuming otherwise, measure the room and check the grid against it - how to measure a kitchen covers the sequence.
| Stock | Custom | |
|---|---|---|
| Fit | The grid plus fillers. Covers the overwhelming majority of kitchens, including out-of-true walls, because that is what fillers and scribe are for. | Built to your dimensions. The answer when the room genuinely refuses the grid - an odd alcove, a non-standard ceiling, a piece that has to work around structure. |
| Time | Same-day collection in Norcross, or 7 to 10 business days delivered. The cabinets already exist. | Design, approval and making. Longer by its nature - it is a process rather than a purchase. |
| Changing your mind | Unopened cabinets can be returned, subject to a restocking fee. Room to be wrong. | Made for your room. Settle the design before it is made, not after. |
| Replacing a damaged door in year three | A reorder from the same line. This is the underrated advantage and it is why stock suits rentals and multi-unit work. | A new piece to make. Worth planning for at the time. |
It is not either-or. The common outcome is a stock kitchen with one custom element - a run that fits the grid, plus the one piece the room insisted on. That gets you same-day availability for most of the kitchen and a proper solution for the part that needed it, instead of paying custom prices for twelve cabinets that a standard width would have covered.
Send your measurements to [email protected]. We design to them and to the model you want, and provide 3D modelling of the result so you are approving a picture of your kitchen rather than a description. That process lives on custom product.
If Rest Cabinetry is also handling the installation, our own team assembles the cabinets as part of that work - which applies to both routes.
"My walls are not square." Almost nobody's are. That is a filler and scribe problem, not a custom problem - see fitting a run in an older kitchen.
"I have an awkward gap beside the range." A 9 or 12 inch cabinet is a stock size. The gap is storage, not a defect.
"I need a specific height." Wall cabinets come in more than one height, and a run can stop short and finish with molding rather than being made to reach a ceiling that is not level anyway.

There is a third option worth knowing about: keeping the boxes and painting them, which is right in exactly one situation.
Measure the room first, then check it against the grid. Stock here means 73 products across 9 collections and roughly 20,889 size variations, which covers the overwhelming majority of kitchens including out-of-true walls. Custom is the answer when the room genuinely refuses the grid.
Roughly 20,889 individual size variations across 73 products and 9 collections. A collection is not one item - it is every width, height and depth that line is offered in, which is why the standard grid covers far more than people expect.
It is made to your dimensions, so on a genuinely awkward room, yes. But a stock run plus a filler fits a normal room just as well, and it can be collected the same day rather than designed, approved and made.
Yes, and it is the common outcome: a stock run for most of the kitchen plus the one custom element the room insisted on. That avoids paying custom prices for twelve cabinets a standard width would have covered.
With stock, it is a reorder from the same line. With custom, it is a new piece to be made. This is the underrated advantage of stock and the reason it suits rentals and multi-unit work.

Almost certainly not. Very few walls are square, which is exactly what fillers and scribe pieces exist for. Plan the run from the fixed points outward so the discrepancy collects in one filler at the end.
Stock can be collected the same day in Norcross or delivered in 7 to 10 business days, because the cabinets already exist. Custom is a design, approval and making process, so it is longer by its nature.
