Cabinets
I need a shop to make custom kitchen cabinetry for a client.
I prefer european craftsman.
Where can I get a good price on corian?
My company is changing vendors.
We need new sources for everything.

Ysabelle,
Can't give you any advice here, but...
What do you do? You sem to know a lot about a lot of topics.
What's wrong with your old vendors? Anyone the rest of us should avoid?
Why the preference for europeans? On the surface, a comment like that obviously seems bigoted.

Ysabelle,
On a related note, have you taken a look at recycled concrete instead of Corian?
It runs
See the following for examples:

Prices range from $87-120 per sq. ft., and there's a manufacturer located in the Navy Yard that has local dealers:

Very attractive stuff.
Good luck...

The corian was a different subject.
So sorry for the confusion.

I'm 100% disgusted with this post. Ysabelle, I don't think you could have been any more racist. You may as well just come right out and said. " I need some custom made cabinets... I prefer a white man to do it. Can't stand the black, Latino, East Indian craftsmen. "
I'm mean there is freedom of speech and all, but blanket racism such as this is horrible.
I would assume that if ANYONE was going to bother with giving you a recommendation, it would be someone who the felt did a great job. That is what we would hope from this community. But to blantantly say.. " I don't care if they do a good job or not.. just make sure he's white...." Obsurd!.
At least I know so I applaud your OVERT racism.

My post was not intended to be racist or offend anybody. You are a narrow minded individual who misunderstood the post.
You are too race sensitive.

I thought "european craftsman" was a type or style of cabinet.

To 8:31
It is just that to be custom made.

"he's a carpenter from Ireland"
how many Manhattan condos has he snagged?

Wow, 4:42, there are no non-white people in Europe? Thanks for clearing that up for me!

I read "European craftsman" as being merely snobbish and anti-American, but prior poster is correct, it is also probably racist.
Good luck with your cabinets, I hope they fit snuggly up your ass.
