I’m moving to a new construction condo in W’Burgh.

I’m not happy with the venting in the kitchen, so I’m installing a filter-vent microwave above the stove. (Its on an interior wall, so can’t vent to exterior).

There is currently a wide cabinet (about 46″ – I need to re-measure)above the gas stove. I plan to replace it with a 16″ wide cabinet and a 30″ microwave.

I’d like to match the rest of the cabinets. Can anyone identify these? The interiors look a lot like Ikea, but I don’t think the exteriors are Ikea.

I’m hoping to be able to purchase retail.

  1. I got the carpenter’s number. He says they’re from Italy, won’t give me the name of manufacturer, says I have to get them from him. Will take at least two months.

    I’m now thinking of putting in Ikea for now, maybe getting the fronts from cabinet guy later. Unless I can find them elsewhere.

    He made me a bit nervous regarding pricing. To request for ballpark cost, his response was “how much do you have.”

    Regarding venting, I’m looking around for a microwave that has a high CFM. I’m guessing 600CFM would be about the top. And anything more than that, pushing air through a filter, would be too loud.

  2. If you’re really concerned about venting, you might want to skip the microwave and get a better vent. There are vents that incorporate both grease and charcoal filters.
