@Michael H., I believe you have a Surplus Warehouse in Raleigh.  Here is their website:  https://surplus-warehouse.com/store/raleigh

I now buy all of my cabinets from them.  The store in Charlotte has all sorts of cabinets, including very good quality pre-assembled cabinets (all-wood construction--no particle board) for an amazing price.  I have found they are better quality and much less expensive than anything else I've found.  They have 3 or 4 door styles/colors to choose from.  Each store is different, so check your local one.  They also have really nice bathroom vanities, granite vanity tops with the sink installed, flooring, doors, laminate counter tops, windows, and tons more.  I've also bought some of their special order cabinets for higher-end rentals and flips.  Usually they are RTA, but our store now offers a very reasonable fee to assemble them for you--definitely worth it, in my opinion.

Whether you buy RTA or pre-assembled cabinets, I recommend you always try to buy full wood construction--no particle board.  I must disagree with the previous post about the stability of particle board, based solely on my 15 years personal experience.  If particle board gets the least little bit wet, it swells up and breaks down.  I NEVER use particle board in a bathroom, and I avoid it elsewhere.  However, plywood is quite stable.  Consider this:  It's used as roof decking, subfloors, and more, and it does just fine.  Also, if ever there is damage to a plywood box, you can often repair it with a little wood putty and playing with stain to match.  With particle board, all you can do is replace the cabinet.

Let me know what you think of Surplus Warehouse.  Good luck.  :)
