About Kitchen Shack - Why Melbourne Homeowners Choose Us
1. Our Story
Kitchen Shack helps Melbourne homeowners create functional kitchens that look beautiful at an affordable price.
Australian made and owned with Melbourne manufacturing creates an easier renovation from start to finish. Kitchen Shack pre-assembled kitchens are cost effective, headache free saving you time, stress and most importantly money.
Our simple approach of using standard cabinet sizes with experienced kitchen design will create a kitchen that makes the most of your space, will suit your style and work for the way you live.
2. Why Choose Kitchen Shack?
Choosing a new kitchen involves more than selecting a style you like. You need to consider the kitchen design, where cabinets are made and what support you will receive throughout your renovation.
The following is what makes Kitchen Shack different.
Melbourne Made Kitchens
Quality kitchen cabinetry manufactured locally, providing control over the quality of the product. This also keeps manufacturing and support close to home.
Local manufacturing means efficient turnaround times and easy access throughout your renovation, all backed by a 10 Year Guarantee.
Pre-assembled Cabinets
Here is a big difference between Kitchen Shack and other flat pack suppliers.
Kitchen Shack cabinets are delivered pre-assembled and ready for an easy installation. Instead of delivering multiple flat pack boxes that will need screwing together, the assembly has already been completed.
This means of course, less time spent assembling and fewer mistakes, reduced labour costs and an easier renovation process.

Designed for Your Home
Expensive custom made cabinetry is exactly that expensive and you can achieve a beautiful kitchen in your home through standard cabinet sizes.
Kitchen Shack offers a wide range of cabinet sizes matched with experienced kitchen design to create the perfect solution for your home.
Your designer works with you to consider how you want to live, your space, storage, appliances and the style of your home.
The result is a kitchen designed for your home and lifestyle with a cost effective approach.
Affordable Quality
Kitchen Shack believes a great kitchen should be affordable without compromising quality.
That’s why we have combined Melbourne made cabinetry, pre-asssembled cabinets and a professional kitchen design with a wide range of colours, finishes and styles.
Working with standard cabinetry sizes rather than custom made cabinetry ensures we can keep kitchen renovation costs down.
