Our custom line is on display alongside stock and semi-custom, which makes the differences easy to spot. If a basement bar or home office is on your list, start with the custom doors, since odd-shaped rooms tend to need cabinets sized to them.
Cabinet Showroom in Lee's Summit, MO
Plan the kitchen with the real thing in front of you
Our cabinet showroom in Lee's Summit sits at 450 SW Ward Rd, and it's where every project we take on begins. Full kitchen displays, cabinet doors from each of our lines and countertop samples share one floor, so you can judge them together and at full scale.
Most people arrive with a few photos saved on their phone and leave with a much shorter list. A finish that looked warm online can read cooler on a real door, and a countertop that seemed loud in a picture may settle down beside the right cabinet.
At Cabinet IQ of Lee's Summit, the team you meet at the showroom also plans and installs your project. Everything on the floor is sold as new cabinetry; we don't reface or paint existing cabinets.
What you can plan at the showroom
The showroom covers more than one kind of project. Here's where a visit leads, depending on what you're planning.
Quartz and granite sit close to the cabinet displays, so you see a stone against an actual door finish. Quartzite and solid surface are options as well, and our own team fabricates and installs whichever you choose.
If your plan goes past cabinets to a moved wall or a relocated sink, start the conversation here anyway. Our team handles full remodels, and settling the finishes early keeps the bigger decisions in step with them.
How a showroom visit works
A visit to Ward Road runs in four parts, and the first one happens before you leave home.
Pick a time through the contact page or call (816) 300-7600. The showroom is open Monday to Friday from 10 am to 4 pm.
Tell us what the project is when you book, whether it's a kitchen, a vanity or a bar downstairs, so we can plan the time around it.
A rough sketch of the room with its dimensions does more than any inspiration board. Add photos taken from each doorway, plus the make and model of any appliance you're keeping, since cabinet openings are planned around them.
If two people will make the final call, come together. Choices made side by side on the floor rarely need explaining twice at home.
Start with the full kitchen displays to narrow down a style, then move to the door samples to compare finishes up close. Open a few drawers in each line while you're there.
The drawer box and the hardware it closes on are where our cabinet lines differ most. Both are hard to judge from a photo and easy to judge in your hand.
Once your choices are down to a few, you'll sit with a designer and see your room as a 3D rendering. Seeing the island, the walkway and the cabinet heights at scale is the point where most layouts get adjusted.
Ask to view the rendering from where you'll stand at the sink, not only from above. A plan that looks open from overhead can feel tight at eye level.
Take a few days with the design if you need them. Walk your kitchen with the plan in mind, and bring any questions back before the order is placed.
What to look at on the showroom floor
Each part of the floor answers a different question. Here's what to check at each stop:
| Display | What to check |
|---|---|
| Full kitchen displays | How a door style and finish read across a whole room, with hardware and a countertop in place. |
| Cabinet door samples | How stock, semi-custom and custom compare in color range and detail. |
| Inside the cabinets | The all-wood box and the dovetail joints at the drawer corners, which show build quality at a glance. |
| Countertop samples | How quartz and granite sit next to your door choice under the same light. |
| Bath vanity finishes | Whether the finish you like for the kitchen can carry into a bathroom. |
Give yourself time to see the whole floor before you sit down to design.
Getting the most from your visit
A few small habits make a showroom visit far more useful once you're back home.
- Photograph each door you like with its label in the frame, so you can match it later
- Look at finishes near a window as well as under the display lights
- Bring a paint chip or a spare piece of flooring if either is staying
- Ask how each line prices out for your layout before you settle on a door
A color looks stronger across a full door than on a small chip. If two finishes are close, compare them at full size before you choose.
What a showroom visit includes
The visit and the design consultation that follows are free. A designer walks the floor with you, draws your room as a 3D rendering and talks through how each cabinet line prices out for your layout. Parking is free on site.

Frequently asked questions
It depends on the cabinet line, the number of cabinets and the countertop material. For a full project, kitchen remodeling in Lee's Summit also covers installation, so bring your room's dimensions for a figure that fits.
Yes. Vanities come from the same cabinet lines as our kitchens, so a bath can share a door and finish with the kitchen. Bring the vanity wall's width and note where the plumbing comes out.
No. We sell and install cabinets and countertops. Choose your sink and appliances before the design is final, because the cabinet and countertop openings follow those exact models.
Yes. A builder's or architect's drawings help most on an addition, because they show walls and windows that don't exist yet, so the cabinets can be planned to them.
Yes. The showroom on Ward Road has a wheelchair-accessible entrance and accessible parking, and parking is free on site.
