My dad is a cabinetmaker. At 34 I can reflect on my life and I have never seen higher quality cabinets than his. Nothing comes close.

I remember he used to complain that people could get cabinets cheaper at Walmart so he lost more and more business.

I think with wage stagnation, people can't afford custom cabinetry anymore. So it seems insane to us to spend that amount. But you can imagine that with the price of lumber and the cost of skilled labor that 7000$ comes quickly.
