Four ways to buy a cart.

Four starting prices. The rest of the page is what moves the number after that.

A Signature price on this page is still a floor. The estimate is the number that counts.

Where to start

What each tier starts at.

One of these numbers is fixed. The other three are floors: the lowest price in the tier, in the standard white finish, before freight.

i. Access
DIY Flat Pack
$999
Ships in 1–2 weeks

Cut and drilled on our CNC, packed flat and shipped by UPS or FedEx. Assembly takes about an hour with one Allen key.

Paid in full at order, like any product. There is one paid option on the kit and it is listed on the DIY page.

See the kits
ii. Your build
Semi-Custom
From$1,000
Built in 8–10 weeks

Pick a size, a panel style, a finish and the add-ons you need. The page prices it as you go, before you order.

Configuration is closed to what we publish. Ask for something outside that menu and you are looking at Custom Elite.

iii. The catalog
Signature
From$1,750
Built to order

Six builds on a locked spec, assembled here and crated. This is what most people buy.

Length, front treatment, counter configuration and finish move the price off the floor. Freight is quoted with the estimate, not folded into the price.

iv. Bespoke
Custom Elite
From$5,000
Built in 12–16 weeks

By application. It opens with a 45-minute design call with Sam and ends with a build that exists once.

Nothing here is off a table. The estimate is written after the drawing, and freight is quoted with it.

Apply

None of those numbers is an average and none of them is a typical ticket. Each one is the lowest price in its tier. A longer bar or a fluted front prices above it, and we would rather say so here than surprise you on the estimate.

What changes the price

What moves the number.

Seven things, and none of them are a surprise. Pick your combination and we price it before anything is cut.

Length
Four, five, six and seven feet. Every foot adds panel material and bench time, and the price steps up with it at every style.
Front treatment
Box Trim, Slats, Fluting, Oak Wrap, Shiplap or Herringbone, Rattan, Mid Century Mod. Box Trim is the plainest front we make and the cheapest. Fluting and Mid Century Mod are the most expensive. Slats and fluting can run on the front panel only, or wrap the front and both sides, which costs more than the front alone.
Counter
Single level is one 46-inch counter across the front. Double level adds a 34-inch working counter behind it for the operator. Carts and serving stands sit at 38 inches. Countertops come U-shape or slant-style.
Mobile or fixed
Mobile bars and carts include a rolling base with locking wheels. Stationary bars and serving stands have no wheels, stay where you put them, and price below the mobile version of the same style and length.
Oversized coffee bar
A double-level U-shape build for coffee equipment on the lower level: 46 inches at the customer face, 34 inches at the back, 30.5 inches deep overall with a 24-inch lower counter. It is its own price line and quotes above a standard bar of the same length.
Finish
Standard white paint is included. A premium finish is $300 more. Unpainted takes $200 off. Oak Wrap is the exception: it is not painted at all, it is stained in Weather Oak, so premium finish pricing does not apply to it.
Add-ons
Plumbing kits, rinsers, a back shelf and the rest are quoted separately. None of them are inside the prices above. The plumbing kits have their own page.
Payment

You pay in three stages.

Semi-Custom, Signature and Custom Elite are invoiced against the build, not up front. DIY is a product: paid in full at order.

45%
Deposit at signing

Non-refundable, and we say so in writing in the Project Agreement. It locks the production slot and covers the wood we order for it.

35%
When it enters production

Due the week your build goes on the floor and Sam starts cutting panels.

20%
Before it ships

The last twenty is due before the cart leaves the shop, whether you are picking it up on La Palma or we are crating it.

Change the spec after the agreement is signed and there is a $50 flat change order fee plus the additional materials and labor. You get that cost before the change happens, not on the final invoice. Some changes are easy. A different size, or a restructured frame, may not be possible once the wood is cut.

Freight

What shipping actually runs.

West Coast $450–$650
Midwest and Texas $550–$750
East Coast $650–$900

Those are ranges, and they stay ranges until we have a crate size and a delivery address. We quote the real freight number on your estimate, before the deposit. We do not average the band and call it a price.

Semi-Custom, Signature and Custom Elite ship freight crated. The DIY flat pack ships UPS or FedEx.

After the build

Carts come back.

A RidgeCraft build is made for five years or more of real service. After a few hundred events the finish shows it, and that is the finish doing its job.

Sanding and refinishing runs $300 to $500 depending on the build. Drop it at the shop on La Palma or ship it to us freight. Most carts come out looking new.

Builds from 2020 are still working. Refinishing is cheaper than replacing, which is the point.
