KCD is a custom, fully-loaded cabinet design software. It is innovative and helps designers create one of a kind cabinets for their customers. In KCD you are able to design without the restrictions of normal cabinet sizes and restraints. This software is specifically for custom cabinetry. Along with the custom designs, there are plan views, elevation views, and even 3D rendering. Freedom to design any shape or size with seamless integration is what makes this an ideal software for custom cabinetry.
ProKitchen was designed to provide very intuitive software for designers, manufacturers, and retailers. This software has a range of company catalogs for you to design with. It does not have the functionality to create custom cabinets, however, it seamlessly loads stock cabinets into your catalog to choose from. This allows you to design one kitchen with multiple companies to find the right budget and design for the customer. ProKitchen also has the plan views, elevation views, and the much sought after 3D rendering to bring ideas to reality for the customer.
KCD and Prokitchen have a lot in common, however, there are a few differences that make them miles apart. KCD is well known for its adaptive user-friendly, fully custom cabinet making. The dimensions can be transformed into a one of a kind piece if needed. ProKitchen on the other hand uses catalogs from stock cabinet companies that make a quality product at different price points. This is a great way to save a little bit of money. ProKitchen allows you to design a kitchen and then price shop that same design with multiple manufacturers. The downside to Prokitchen is that it can limit your vision with its restrictions on customization.
Kitchen design can be challenging without the proper tools. Before this type of software came out, everything was drawn out on paper and then manually cut. Nowadays, this software can send the designs from your computer straight to a CNC machine to cut to perfection. Whether you are looking for a fully custom kitchen or stock cabinets from a reputable company, the software is there for designers to make your vision come to life.
What I found was an intuitive interface that allowed me to easily pick and place cabinets within the room I was designing. Within the program are all the various cabinets needed to create a kitchen, vanity, closet, mudroom, entertainment unit, study, or office cabinetry. Because I have a number of variables that I can manipulate I am able to finely tune the look and dimensions of my design to suit my clients particular specifications.
For the past few years we as a company have been building cabinets using inset doors and pocket joined face frames. This program is able to show this style with the face frame being continuous along multiple cabinets. I also have the capabilities to design cabinets with overlay doors. The program offers more than 30 different door and drawer front patterns. Below are 3D representations of a couple of jobs I have been working on. My time to create these drawings is has been reduced from 2-4 hours to less than 30 minutes.
After testing the software out for a month I decided that this was a worthwhile investment and purchased the Cabinet Designer software pack outright(KCD offers a number of different variations of the software that can be rented on a monthly basis or purchased outright). That was five months ago and in that time I believe it has paid for itself in the time saved in turning around changes to a client. What once may have taken a couple of hours to change something as small as the width of the stile and rails can be done in 30 seconds. The accuracy it gives our cabinet makers has also improved our shop production rate.

For all orders under $5,000 we charge $500. For all orders over $5,000 shipping is free! If you need single items like extra trim, shipping is $125. These prcies are the same for both factory built cabinetry and RTA.
We are not able to offer returns/refunds/exchanges on our cabinetry for many reasons, most of which is shipping. These issues are rare, especially if you triple check your measurements before ordering. Working with our no cost kitchen design specialist can help!
"Stellar performance! On 9/23/22 I ordered a full suite of kitchen cabinets for the home I am building. The order was delivered 10/14/22 well within the 2-4 week time frame posted on the website. No other vendor came even close to that time frame. The cabinets arrived in pristine condition and are beautiful in appearance and construction. My contractor was amazed on all counts. I would not hesitate to buy from Shaker Cabinet Supply again and I heartily recommend them."
