There are several reasons why you should buy your kitchen cabinets as a set rather than as a piecemeal. Breakfast nook sets can be purchased at any department store or large all-purpose store like Target or Wal-Mart. If you belong to a price club like Sam’s or BJ’s, this is also a good place to look. All of these kitchen cabinet sets will need to be assembled, but since there aren’t too many pieces, assembly should be relatively simple.
The first benefit is that all the pieces will match. When you buy a table in one place and several chairs in several other places, none of them are going to be stained or painted similar colors. You need to restore them to join. Of course, you won’t try to make it look the same, because that would be impossible. Instead, you will choose colors that complement each other and try to tie all the pieces together with some common element. There is no need for all this work if you buy a breakfast bar set.
Another plus is that there are often other pieces of furniture you can buy that match the set. A kitchen nook set consists of the breakfast table and the seating around it. However, there are other pieces of furniture that you need to fully furnish a kitchen. Kitchen island furniture, especially stools, for example. If you buy a set, you may be able to buy matching stools. A theme that carries over from the corner to the rest of the kitchen is a good idea for continuity.
Another benefit of buying a set is that you can make sure everything will fit together before you start shopping. Buying the pieces one at a time means you won’t know what all the furniture is before you start shopping. That means you run the risk of not being able to fit everything together the way you want. When you buy a pre-packaged set, you know the exact dimensions of everything up front and it’s easier to visualize in space.
Finally, it is faster. While your eclectic taste may be best suited when searching for unique furniture deals at yard sales and estate sales, it’s time-consuming. Most homeowners have many responsibilities and can’t afford several weeks or months without a kitchen table while searching for the perfect chair or table.
