What 10×10 Kitchen Cabinets Actually Cost in the Bay Area (2026)

Real 10×10 kitchen totals from published per-cabinet prices — solid wood shaker at about $4,400 MSRP — and what the '10×10' benchmark really means.

August 27, 20268 min read

"10×10 kitchen price" is the cabinet industry's benchmark — a 10-cabinet L-shaped kitchen used so shoppers can compare apples to apples. Most Bay Area cabinet shops still make you book a design appointment to hear their number. Ours is published, per cabinet, on every product page.

What's in a 10×10

The standard set: three base cabinets (12", 18", 30"), a 36" sink base, a 3-drawer base, and five wall cabinets (12", 18", two 30", one 36"). No fillers, panels, or crown — those get quoted with your actual layout.

Our live totals

Because every box is priced on the site, our city cabinet pages compute the 10×10 total live from the catalog — as of this writing, every framed collection — Shaker, Havana, Elegant, Vintage — lands at about $4,379 MSRP (one price list across the framed lines). Quotes come back below MSRP.

What that buys (and doesn't)

  • Included: solid wood face frames and doors (MDF center panels on painted colors), 1/2" plywood boxes, soft-close hinges, full-extension undermount soft-close glides.
  • Not included: delivery, install, fillers/panels/molding (layout-dependent), countertops.

How to use the benchmark

Get any competitor's 10×10 number in writing with the construction spec — particleboard boxes and stapled drawers can undercut plywood by 30% and cost you more in five years. Then lay out your real kitchen in our free 2D/3D design studio: live per-cabinet pricing, running total, and one click to a quote. Don't know your sizes?
