What's the longest you've waited for a custom kitchen cabinet order?
- @wallace-johnson2 hr. ago
I saw a stat in that custom cabinets can take 6-8 weeks just for fabrication, and that's before installation. I once waited nearly three months for a custom piece, and the communication from the shop was pretty spotty. It really makes you appreciate when a local business has a streamlined process and keeps you in the loop. Makes me wonder if there are any Austin cabinet makers known for faster turnaround times, or if that's just the nature of custom work these days.

Three months sounds like a long haul, but honestly, for truly custom work, it's not entirely unexpected. The fabrication alone can take weeks, especially if they're sourcing specific wood or hardware. I've found that clear communication upfront about the timeline, even if it's long, is key to managing expectations. It's those surprise delays that really throw a wrench in things.
