Wooden cabinet - Cost options

15 June 2019

I am trying to get a cabinet for the entryway for storing shoes, tennis racquets and a football. I have a 4' 8" by 17 " inch nook. So looking for a 54" by 27 " cabinet with 7 inch legs.

Carpenter 1 - gave me a plywood option with shutters in teak as I wanted louvered shutters. Ply he said would be century ply 18 mm. Cost - 28000/-

Carpenter 2 - gave me a plywood only for the back (12 mm) and the rest in 'sagwan lakdi'. Cost - 17000/-

Is Carpenter 1's option inflated? Or is Carpenter 2's option better?

Thanks.

Pawan,

Please recheck the dimensions once again. 27 or 17.

Frankly speaking, its not worthwhile to do a comparison in such a small project.

However, teak is costlier but has many a variants, please recheck the details if it is First Quality or Burma team.

Pricing is usually due to the details. Clients are often duped by initial low-ball offers. Go with one who has better client feedback.

My husband is allergic to all trees and weeds with seasonal type allergies and asthma, and many many foods, causing anaphylactic shock. Unless your child goes into anaphylactic shock from hickory, I can't see it being a problem. By the time the wood is processed it shouldn't be a problem.

Hi Murthy, See from the window reflection in your kitchen, I think that you've got the glossily finished tile for your kitchen. I hope that it's not glossy tiles and probably the light effect in the photo. What kitchen countertop are you planning to select? Select cabinet color in accordance with the kitchen countertop material. -Thanks -Neelam -Lines and Profile

Sujithra, Everyone has their own costing formulas. Due to professional courtsey we wouldn't want to compare/comment on that. However, BWP ply and PVC sheets base cost is similar. Just changing carcass material the reduction in cost may not be substantial. Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs Bangalore.
