Many cabinet manufacturers offer standard modifications to their cabinets at an additional cost. For example, they will reduce or increase cabinet depths; install breadboards, wine racks, or roll-out shelves; modify toe kicks or door attachments; upgrade cabinets with oak-lined interiors or leaded-glass doors.

You may also be able to request knife racks, spice racks, lazy Susans, and specialty pull-outs such as ironing boards.

Even if a stock manufacturer won't include specialty accessories, you can order them through a cabinetmaker and have them installed independently. Most are designed to fit standard stock cabinet sizes.

Some manufacturers will even build one-of-a-kind cabinets for an extra charge that ranges from about 25% to 50% above the cost of a similar cabinet in the line.
