Cabinet Supply | Chicago, IL
Chicago contractors, builders, designers and dealers source wholesale cabinets from CCC Cabinets, a trade-only supplier with its showroom and stocking warehouse at 2180 S Wolf Rd in Des Plaines, near O’Hare. All 15 door styles are kept in stock, sold assembled or ready-to-assemble at trade pricing, and either picked up at the warehouse or delivered to job sites across the city on CCC’s own trucks.
This page explains how cabinet supply works for Chicago projects: the types of suppliers, what a trade supply partner should provide, how ordering and delivery work, and how to plan city logistics so cabinets arrive when the crew is ready.
Key takeaways
- Wholesale cabinet supply is trade-only: open a trade account, get pricing quoted per project, and order on a written order form.
- Stock depth is the main advantage of a local supplier: in-stock styles can be picked up the same day and matched on later phases.
- City logistics need planning: standard delivery is curbside, so arrange labor, access and staging for each site.
- Construction is the same on every CCC style: plywood box, full plywood back, solid wood dovetail drawers, soft-close hinges and glides.
Types of Cabinet Suppliers in Chicago
| Supplier type | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Wholesale stocking supplier | Sells to the trade from local stock; pricing through a trade account | Remodelers, builders and property managers who need fast, repeatable supply |
| Dealer or design showroom | Sells brand lines with design service, often special order | Homeowner-facing remodels with full design |
| Big-box retailer | Retail stock and special-order lines at published prices | Small, one-off jobs |
| Custom cabinet shop | Builds to order for the specific room | Unusual dimensions and specialty millwork |
Many contractors use more than one: a wholesale stocking supplier for most kitchens, baths and turnovers, and a custom shop for the occasional built-in.
Our Cabinet Supply Capabilities
Wholesale-Only Cabinet Supplier
CCC Cabinets sells only to the trade: contractors, builders, remodelers, property managers, dealers and designers. There are no retail sales and no published price list; approved accounts are quoted wholesale pricing per project, with no minimum order. You can explore every door style on our cabinet catalog page.
Cabinet Construction
Every CCC door style shares the same cabinet specification:
- Full-overlay doors on a 3/4″ birch face frame, with an MDF door center panel that stays flat through humidity changes
- 1/2″ A-grade plywood box sides, wall top and bottom and base bottom with wood veneer, and a 1/2″ full plywood back
- 3/4″ A-grade plywood adjustable shelves
- 17 mm solid wood dovetail drawer boxes with 3/8″ plywood bottoms on full-extension soft-close glides
- 6-way adjustable soft-close concealed hinges and pre-installed metal clip connectors
Design Versatility
The 15 styles cover shaker, mini shaker and raised-panel doors in painted whites, off-white, greys, navy, sage green and black, and stained espresso, cappuccino and grey finishes, enough for contemporary, transitional and traditional kitchens from one supplier.
Consistent Cabinet Collections
Reliable Inventory
All 15 door styles are stocked at the Des Plaines warehouse. Ordering from stocked styles lets a second or third phase of a multi-unit or repeat job match the first, and makes warranty replacements and callbacks easier.
Satisfying Project Demands
Cabinets are available assembled or ready-to-assemble (RTA). RTA orders are generally ready sooner than assembled orders, which need assembly first; confirm timing for your order when you place it. Modifications are available for an additional flat fee, subject to availability, and modified items cannot be returned.
Logistics Coordination
In-stock orders placed before early afternoon are usually ready for same-day pickup; confirm the pickup in advance. Jobsite delivery runs on CCC’s own trucks with its own drivers; the delivery coordinator contacts your site contact the business day before delivery. Details are on the delivery and pickup page.
Planning Cabinet Delivery to a Chicago Job Site
- Confirm the address and site contact when you order, so the delivery can be scheduled.
- Plan where the truck stops. Check street parking, loading zones and alley access; standard delivery is curbside.
- Arrange labor to carry cabinets in. The driver drops at the curb; moving cabinets to a specific spot is arranged separately with sales.
- Check stairs, doors and elevators. Walk-ups and condo elevators may call for RTA cabinets.
- Prepare a dry, protected staging area. Keep cabinets off wet floors and away from active demolition and drywall dust.
- Inspect on arrival. Check counts and note any damage before the truck leaves.
- Schedule installers after delivery is confirmed, not before.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a wholesale cabinet supplier?
A wholesale cabinet supplier sells cabinets to businesses such as contractors, builders, remodelers, property managers, dealers and designers at trade prices rather than to the public at retail. Buyers usually open a trade account, receive pricing per project, and pick up from a warehouse or arrange jobsite delivery.
Can homeowners buy from CCC Cabinets?
CCC Cabinets sells only to the trade and does not sell retail. Homeowners usually buy through their contractor, remodeler or designer, who opens the trade account and places the order. Homeowners can still visit the Des Plaines showroom with their contractor to choose a door style.
Are CCC cabinet doors solid wood?
No. CCC doors use a birch frame with an MDF center panel, and some styles use MDF with an applied veneer. MDF stays flat and stable through humidity changes, so the panel is less likely to crack or shift with the seasons. The cabinet boxes are A-grade plywood.
Do you deliver cabinets in Chicago?
Yes. CCC delivers to job sites across Chicago and the suburbs on its own trucks with its own drivers. Standard delivery is curbside, the jobsite address is confirmed when you order, and the delivery coordinator contacts your site contact the business day before delivery.
Is there a CCC Cabinets catalog?
Every door style, finish and construction detail is shown on the cabinets page and the individual style pages on the CCC Cabinets website. For specification questions on a project, contact the showroom by phone or email, or visit to see full-size doors.
