As agreed with dave, marble is not recommended to use in countertop, esp. white stone. As experiences, granite can be best choice. Any countertop layout? send me at hilly@amoyfortune.com

DONT GET IKEA KITCHEN!!!!!

I'll post a bigger piece about my experiences in a few weeks and maybe this was just me because i was getting a large kitchen with large hallway cupboards (12 cupboards in the hallway alone (almost like a wall of cupboards), but my experience with IKEA is DONT DO IT.

Basically the money you save you will spend in time and energy getting missing parts, damaged in delivery parts, arguing with the Traemand people (thats the installation company they have) about what is and isn't included in their installation quote etc.

Like i said keep an eye out for my post in a few weeks after we move in but I wished we looked elsewhere for a custom cabinet that all i had to do was sign a check.


Cheers,
Dean

I ordered new cherry cabinets from williamsburg plumbing 485 Flushing Ave. wpskinfo@aol.com, 718.596.1500 ext. 205 - top quality & great price. You can get the best deal if you pay in cash. I used c.foss handy service for installation c.foss@hotmail.com, 347.789.9132. I did my own painting and flooring but had a new kitchen for under $4K.

When purchasing kitchen cabinets from Ikea, HD or Lowe's, all of whom have both good and crappy cabinets, you want to be mindful of how the cabinets are constructed and the material used to construct them. The worst cabinets are made of particle board covered with a photo finish of maple, mahoghany or oak covering the cabinet. Although very inexpensive they won't last long. You then have particle board covered with a wood veneer. The veneer will make the cabinets appear as though they are "solid wood" but don't be fooled. I would recommend a plywood cabinet contruction covered with a veneer which is mostly what they sell in Ikea, Lowe's and HD. The doors can be solid woods or plywoods covered with veneer. The stiles of the doors are usually solid so inspect the sample cabinet carefully to see what you are getting. Unless you have your cabinets custom made, they will not be solid wood. Plywood is much more stable than solid anyway. The next thing to look at are drawer glides and drawer construction. You will pay a premium for all of the fancy options like bread drawers, cutlery trays, etc... These things are nice to have but can be added on later. Not wanting to take out an equity loan (remember those,) I put off my remodel until I saved up enough for the highest quality in cabinet and drawer construction that I could afford. Paint what you have until you have the budget to remodel.

Oops, sorry, now I see you said "replacing" the cabinet doors. Yes, this makes more sense. :) Sorry though I don't have a recommendation for someone who does this. Just watch out they don't charge you nearly the same as all new cabinets.

I love IKEA and used them in my own kitchen, but I do think the cabinet boxes are indeed MDF and *not* plywood.

If you do go IKEA, I would get one of the wood doors. My cabs have been in for 5 years now. They are Adel Cream - a color which has been discontinued. They're thermofoil (I think) and it's starting to peel away from the MDF door that they were adhered to. Not a huge deal, but makes me uneasy I guess.
