Home Depot and Lowes will work, however keep in mind that the lowest end ones basically have a thin laminate over them. I know this because my primary residence has them, and 7 years after install they are all starting to peel! If you go that route, spend the extra $20-40/unit for actual wood.

I always used Lowes for the lower-end projects. Home Depot is ok too.

IKEA only has the RTA (ready-to-assemble) cabinets, which made it a No-No for me....more flimsy and I have to pay my crew to put them together which makes them actually more expensive.

If the property is a rental remodel I'd consider IKEA. These are not the best quality but they look great and it's easy to install.

What's your ARV?  Selling or renting?

I used to buy Lowes/Home Depot and have a handyman install.  Overtime, I realized how important it was to make a great kitchen even in my rentals.  The relationship with a cabinet installer/designer became critical -- they're part of your design process, then need to install quickly in well during crunch time.

If this is a one off project, then get the Lowes/Home Depot cabinets.  I'd also suggest Home Center Outlet as a great place for better quality cabinets.  If this is one of many projects you're going to do, find an investor-friendly designer installer in your neck of the woods.  Get some budgetary quotes so you plan for a better kitchen.

Good luck!
