How do I measure for LF?

Measure the total length of any space that has cabinets. Include all wall space, islands, peninsulas, windows and appliances. This budget method takes into account an average of all wall, base and tall cabinets. If you are adding cabinet space to your new kitchen be sure to include that length. Example: the kitchen to the right has a 10' wall and 12' wall for 22 LF. If you were to add a 6' island you will total 28 LF.

Items that affect your individual cabinet budget:
  • The total size of your kitchen (LF)
  • Door Style/Color/Specie
  • Decorative Items
  • Storage/Utility Cabinets
  • Custom Cabinet Modifications

10'x10' Industry Pricing Standard

10' x 10' equals 20 lineal feet (LF) of "cabinetry". This includes windows, wall space, appliances, and wall & base cabinets. The 10' x 10' pricing is based on an industruy standard kitchen layout that compares retail pricing for manufacturers, especially in the Big Box home improvement stores.

This is a accurate way to compare prices "apples to apples" no matter the manufacturer, door style, finish or wood species. The 10' x 10' cabinet list does vary slightly between retailers - but essentially they are the same. The formula to determine the 10' x 10' is the price of the cabinets divided by 20 LF.

Example: 10' x 10' = $2000 ÷ 20 LF = $100

Your layout will vary from the 10' x 10' based on your final design and types of cabinets that you select.

Keep in mind that all manufacturers start with their standard builder grade construction and the 10' x 10' contains no frills or upgrades in
design or materials. At the Big Box stores you will find the price on the back of display doors or you can ask a kitchen associate.
