![]() As I had posted awhile ago, I'm refurbishing a house. I'm at the point where I need to pick out some kitchen cabinets. I', hoping to find some high quality steel cabinets for my kitchen, but I need a backup plan. I also need to outfit one of the other kitchens as well.
I'm looking into Forevermark Cabinets. They seem to be made of high quality materials, but need to be assembled. They seem to be affordable and the display I saw was solid. I'm looking into their Shakertown line. Has anyone used these before or had success with other cabinetry? I don't have a great deal of money for this project, but I want good results. Thanks, Dave CLICK HERE TO GO TO Volvoguy87's LINK | ||

Older cabinets![]() That is a good idea to see if there is someplace near you that does a resale type of thing. We have a Habitat for Humanity resale store that has lots of salvage building materials. Some friends got some inexpensive cabinets there and refinished them with that new Rustoleum cabinet refinisher and they really came out nice.

Salvage![]() I'm also looking into salvage, provided I can get salvage cabinetry in the configurations I need. The above post is my backup plan. There are some re-stores around here but most of their cabinetry stock tends to be builder-grade low-quality particle-board pulled from tract houses that has really reached the end of its life.
Wood and steel can be refinished, but particle board just turns to mush, Dave | ||

Ikea![]() If you decide to go new, I am a great believer in IKEA kitchens. At least here in the UK the cabinets (chipboard) seem to be well made and the fittings they use for drawers and hinges are excellent and common across all the price ranges. There are an excellent variety of cabinets and, as as all the components are listed separatly it is possible to mix and match to get a perfect fit if you know what you are about. There is an on line planning package too.
I have fitted several in my time and have been using my current Ikea kitchen for 9 years now with no problems. I have also updated the layout several times (and about to make another minor modification!) without any problems at all. Of course you KNOW that once you commit yourself to something modern the perfect vintage layout at a bargain price will come along Good luck Al | ||
