Kitchen Cabinets for New York Homes

Muretti builds kitchen cabinets as a measured system: engineered boxes, specified hinges, and a door finish chosen for daily use in a New York kitchen. The order is cut in Italy to the ceiling, the soffit, and the plumbing you actually have. A catalog module that stops short of the bulkhead is a different job.

The design happens at 134 W 25th St. You compare door styles on a real wall, open a drawer, and decide where the tall storage goes before anyone in Italy draws a shop ticket. The full room — layout, appliances, and installation — is on our kitchen design page. This page is about the cabinets themselves.

The cabinet types on the floor are the ones we already specify: wood, laminate, metal, and high-gloss, in modern or traditional door lines, plus the twelve Italian collections. Finishes include matte lacquer, high-gloss lacquer, wood veneer, and textured surfaces. Partner lines, when the brief calls for them, are Scavolini, Cesar, Veneta Cucine, Snaidero, and Arclinea.

• Wood kitchen cabinets — oak, maple, cherry, walnut, and painted wood fronts.
• Laminate kitchen cabinets — a durable face when you want the look of a finish without a delicate lacquer.
• Metal kitchen cabinets — stainless and metal runs for a harder, quieter surface.
• High-gloss kitchen cabinets — reflective lacquer that needs to be seen under real light.
• Modern kitchen cabinets and traditional kitchen cabinets — handleless or framed, depending on the room.
• Italian cabinet collections — Canova, Venetia, Essenza, Aura, and the rest of the lines on the floor.

A luxury kitchen uses the same cabinet logic with made-to-order fronts and panel-ready appliances. A high-end kitchen is the quality tier under that. We keep those as separate pages so a cabinet order is not confused with a full bespoke room.

Before you buy kitchen cabinets, measure the room you have, decide what you store and how you cook, and look at the finish in person. Appliance sizes, the Italy lead time, the budget band, and the building’s delivery rules all have to be known before the factory cuts a box. Skipping one of those is how an order arrives short.

1. Measure the real room. Include soffits, columns, window sills, and the swing of the entry door. A floor plan from the listing often misses the bulkhead.
2. Write down how you cook and what you store. Drawer banks, a tall pantry, and appliance panels follow from that list, not from a door sample.
3. See the finish at 134 W 25th St. Matte lacquer, high-gloss, and wood veneer do not match a phone photo once they are on a six-foot run.
4. Lock appliance widths and depths before the drawing goes to Italy. A panel-ready fridge that changes size after approval means new doors.
5. Set a range, not a single number. Projects often run $30,000 to $150,000+. Length, collection, stone, and fitted interiors move it.
6. Ask for the current factory window. A date from an old quote is not the lead time on the collection you just chose.
7. Check the building. Service elevator size, stair turns, and the super’s delivery hours decide whether the crates can come in on the day we book.

We measure to the finished wall, not to a nominal galley width. Ceiling height, a low soffit, a pipe chase, and a radiator cover each change the tall cabinet. In a co-op or condo, the piece size also has to clear the elevator. That check happens before the order leaves Italy.

Small kitchens gain more from interiors than from extra boxes. Pull-out pantries and drawers instead of doors keep the aisle open. If the room is a short run, see medium-size kitchen layouts. If the work includes the rest of the room, our kitchen remodeling page covers that scope.

Kitchen cabinet projects at Muretti typically range from $30,000 to $150,000+ for the kitchen. A short run with a standard finish sits at the lower end. Tall units, a made-to-order door, stone, and panel-ready appliances sit higher. We do not sell a single package price.

The quote is written after you approve the drawing. Bring a floor plan to the consultation if you have one. Countertop material and the number of fitted interiors change the figure as much as the door style does.

After you approve the design, manufacturing in Italy sets the clock. Many projects then need about four to eight weeks in the factory, one to two weeks to ship, and one to two weeks to install. Design and revisions usually add two to four weeks before that clock starts. We give the current window for the collection you chose.

Installation is booked when the cabinets and the worktop are both in New York, so the kitchen is opened once. If you are living in the apartment, we sequence the delivery against the building’s rules. Changing a drawer bank after the factory has cut the boxes is a new order, not a field adjustment.

Finish and hardware are hard to judge from a screen. At 134 W 25th St, New York, NY 10001, you stand at counter height, open a drawer, and compare two collections in the same light. That visit is also where a tight return and a low ceiling get decided, which is what keeps an Italy order from arriving short.

Hours are Monday to Friday 10am to 6pm, Saturday 11am to 5pm, and Sunday by appointment. Call (212) 457-1355 or write [email protected] to book a complimentary consultation. Service is in New York City, the tri-state area, and nationwide where we install.
