No. Quality depends on materials, engineering, and fabrication accuracy, not where the parts are built.
High-quality cabinet components are defined by plywood grade, joinery, machining accuracy, and consistency. CNC-fabricated components often exceed hand-built consistency because every part is cut to the same tolerances.
For millwork shops, outsourcing does not mean giving up craftsmanship, it means reallocating it. Shops maintain control over finishes, final assembly, and client-facing details while reducing repetitive fabrication labor.
