Stainless Steel

What It is: Metal cabinets built with a sleek, frameless construction (the doors are attached directly to the cabinet box).

Pros: It is durable and won’t warp like wood. Colors include industrial silver and powder-coated red, green, and orange.

Cons: Stainless scratches and dents easily and shows fingerprints (unless it’s powder-coated).

Cost: $3,330 to $5,900 for a 10-by-10-foot room (stock).
