How much does a simple bathroom cabinet cost?

Hey there! If you're looking to spruce up your bathroom, one of the first things that might come to mind is a simple bathroom cabinet. I'm a supplier of these nifty cabinets, and I'm here to break down the costs for you.

Let's start by understanding what we mean by a "simple bathroom cabinet." A simple cabinet is usually basic in design, without all the fancy frills and high - end features. It's functional, straightforward, and gets the job done of storing your bathroom essentials.

The cost of a simple bathroom cabinet can vary quite a bit, and there are several factors that come into play. First off, the material used in the cabinet makes a big difference.

Material Matters

• Particleboard Cabinets: These are often the most budget - friendly option. Particleboard is made from wood chips and resin, pressed together to form a board. It's lightweight and relatively inexpensive to produce. A simple particleboard bathroom cabinet can cost anywhere from $50 to $200. The lower end of that price range usually means a smaller cabinet, maybe just a single - door unit with one shelf. These are great for small bathrooms or powder rooms where space is limited. You can check out our Simple Cabinet options in particleboard.
• Plywood Cabinets: Plywood is a step up in terms of quality. It's made from thin layers of wood veneer glued together, which gives it more strength and durability compared to particleboard. A simple plywood bathroom cabinet will typically cost between $150 and $400. You'll notice a difference in the feel and the longevity of a plywood cabinet. It can handle more wear and tear, and it's less likely to warp over time. Our Simply Cabinet collection in plywood offers a great balance of quality and price.
• Solid Wood Cabinets: If you're looking for the best in terms of quality and aesthetics, solid wood is the way to go. Solid wood cabinets are made from real wood, like oak, maple, or cherry. They have a natural beauty and can last for decades. However, they come with a higher price tag. A simple solid wood bathroom cabinet can cost anywhere from $300 to $1000 or more. The price depends on the type of wood used, with more exotic woods being more expensive. Check out our Simply Bathroom Cabinet options in solid wood for a touch of luxury.

Size and Configuration

Another important factor in determining the cost is the size and configuration of the cabinet.

• Single - Door Cabinets: These are the simplest and most compact option. They usually have one door and one or two shelves inside. They're great for small spaces or for use as a secondary storage unit. A single - door simple bathroom cabinet can cost as little as $50 for a particleboard model and up to $500 for a solid wood one.
• Double - Door Cabinets: Double - door cabinets offer more storage space. They can have multiple shelves or drawers inside. You'll pay more for a double - door cabinet compared to a single - door one. A particleboard double - door cabinet might cost around $100 - $300, while a solid wood one could be $500 - $1500.
• Cabinet with Drawers: Adding drawers to a cabinet increases its functionality but also its cost. Drawers are great for organizing smaller items like makeup, toothbrushes, and hair accessories. A simple cabinet with drawers can cost an additional $50 - $200 compared to a similar cabinet without drawers, depending on the material.

Finish and Hardware

The finish and hardware of the cabinet also play a role in the cost.

• Finishes: A basic painted finish is the most affordable option. It can give the cabinet a clean, modern look. A stained finish, which shows off the natural grain of the wood, is a bit more expensive. And a high - gloss or specialty finish will cost even more. You can expect to pay an extra $20 - $100 for a more premium finish.
• Hardware: The handles, knobs, and hinges on the cabinet can also add to the cost. Basic plastic or metal hardware is the cheapest option. Fancier hardware, like brushed nickel or antique brass, can increase the price of the cabinet by $30 - $150.

Installation Costs

Don't forget about installation costs. If you're handy with tools, you might be able to install the cabinet yourself. But if you're not, you'll need to hire a professional. Installation costs can range from $100 to $500, depending on the complexity of the installation. A simple single - door cabinet might be on the lower end of that range, while a large double - door cabinet with drawers could be closer to the higher end.

So, as you can see, the cost of a simple bathroom cabinet can vary widely. It all depends on your budget, your needs, and your personal style. Whether you're looking for a budget - friendly particleboard cabinet or a high - end solid wood one, we've got you covered.
