Factory-Made vs Carpenter Kitchen: Real Cost, Quality and 15-Year Lifespan Comparison

A factory-made modular kitchen costs ₹1.8–3 lakh for a Gurgaon 2BHK vs ₹1.2–2 lakh carpenter-made — but installs in 3–5 days, carries a 5–10 year warranty, and lasts 15–25 years. Over 15 years, the factory kitchen actually saves ₹65,000–95,000. CNC precision at ±0.1mm and machine edge banding at 200°C are the two differences that determine long-term quality.
