The honest answer is “it depends on your layout” — but here are the real price ranges we see in Johor Bahru in 2026, so you can budget before you call anyone.
The short answer
For a custom kitchen cabinet in Johor Bahru, most homeowners spend roughly RM4,500–RM12,000 for the cabinetry, depending on the run length, the boards and the countertop. A compact condo galley kitchen sits at the lower end; a landed-home kitchen with an island, tall units and stone tops sits higher.
What actually drives the price
- Length of cabinetry — priced per foot of bottom + top cabinets
- Board / carcass material — moisture-resistant plywood costs more than particleboard but lasts far longer in our humidity
- Door finish — melamine (cheapest), laminate, then acrylic or sintered stone (premium)
- Countertop — solid surface < quartz < sintered stone
- Hardware — soft-close hinges, drawer runners, pull-out baskets, corner carousels
- Extras — island, tall pantry units, built-in bins and appliance housings
Rough ranges by kitchen type (2026, JB)
A 10–15ft condo kitchen in moisture-resistant plywood with melamine doors typically lands around RM4,500–RM7,000 before the countertop. A landed-home kitchen with an island, mixed plywood + aluminium and a quartz or sintered-stone top is more commonly RM10,000–RM18,000+. These are guides, not quotes — the same kitchen can swing a few thousand ringgit depending on finishes.
