Built in cabinets are specific to a certain space within a home. They serve a purpose of utility more than character, and they have an appeal to the area complementing a certain space, while the aesthetics are pleasing to the eye. Paint grade cabinets are inexpensive and solve certain solutions, while stain grade built-ins are actually the opposite. Stain grade serve a purpose that is more custom than utility, they stand out like a piece of furniture, so they must be built with care. Most of the time a stain-grade cabinet will serve a certain purpose of focal point and contrast to a room.
