    Maybe seconds or displays from Lowes or Home Depot. Too bad the clerks never call when they`re ready to toss `em. I`ve given my phone number to so many of those clerks. It`s the rare one that calls. What about a manufacturer, they`re always getting damaged. I know, I own apartments, and they`re usually damaged when I pick them up. But I take `em anyways because most tenants are animals. Try an ad in the trader, maybe an employee has a back door connection.... For the damaged ones

    Lowe's. I found 24" wall cabinets by rubbermaid. They are made of particle board, pretty good quality overall, and come KD (knocked down...you have to assemble). I have 17 of 'em in my garage. They are only $30 a piece. I believe you will be satisfied.

    Bingo! This is how I got all of mine. Heck, the cherry cabinets in my garage are nicer than the ones in my kitchen. Ticket price on the entire kitchen set was well over $1k - I pain $125.00. Then I paid $20 a pop for two additional two foot units that weren't matched.

    Good Luck on you hunt!

    I looked at those also but since they were bare particle board they looked like they would get greasy and dirty quick.The Mills Pride cabinets are laminated and about the same price if not less.You can see them at www.millspride.com They have an awsome website.You can virtually build your own unit .
