Prices last updated Mar 14, 2026. Commercial = contractor/trade pricing (typically 25-30% below retail).
Cabinetry and millwork typically represent 10-18% of interior finish costs in residential construction and 5-10% in commercial projects. This category sits at the intersection of lumber commodity markets and specialized manufacturing, making it sensitive to both raw material swings and labor availability in woodworking trades.
The market spans three quality tiers — stock cabinetry (manufactured to standard dimensions), semi-custom (modified standard boxes with upgraded features), and full custom millwork. Each tier has different supply chain dynamics and lead time profiles, but all share exposure to hardwood lumber and sheet goods pricing.
Current direction, confidence, year-over-year change, and volatility.
Stock cabinetry is predominantly manufactured domestically, with major production concentrated in the Midwest and Southeast. Lead times for stock cabinets run 2-4 weeks. Semi-custom lines require 4-8 weeks, while full custom millwork can extend to 12-20 weeks depending on complexity and finish requirements.
Imported cabinets, primarily from China and Vietnam, face tariff exposure but offer 20-40% cost advantages on comparable specifications. The trade-off is longer lead times (10-16 weeks ocean freight) and less flexibility for field modifications.
Current risk factors affecting cabinets, millwork & panels availability and lead times.
Cabinet demand follows residential construction cycles, peaking in spring and early summer. Manufacturers often implement annual price increases in January or February. Ordering during Q4 can sometimes lock in current-year pricing, particularly for stock and semi-custom lines.

Cabinet pricing correlates moderately with lumber markets but with a 2-3 month lag. Lumber represents roughly 30-40% of cabinet manufacturing cost, so a major lumber price spike takes time to flow through to finished cabinetry pricing.
Lead times have moderated from their peaks but remain elevated for semi-custom and custom work due to skilled labor shortages in manufacturing. Stock cabinet availability is generally good at 2-4 weeks.
Imported cabinets can offer significant savings but carry tariff risk and longer lead times. Factor in Section 301 tariff rates (significant on Chinese cabinets) and 10-16 week ocean freight when comparing total delivered cost.
