Re: Where to Kitchen cabinets for decent price?

Plan to remodel my kitchen with new cabinets. So I went to home depot
and got an estimate for a KraftMaid cherry cabinet in sunset color.

I've had a few not-very-good experiences with KraftMaid. For instance, on a
recent install, it took them *six* tries to get me four good doors for a
corner wall cabinet (pair of bi-fold doors on each side of the corner).

One of the doors that shipped with the cabinet had the hinge holes
mis-drilled, which prevented proper mounting. And it didn't ship with all the
hinges, either.

First replacement arrived with the hinge mounts drilled on the wrong side.

Second replacement was *two*inches* too narrow. (How the heck did *that* get
past quality control?)

Third replacement arrived *broken*. Traces of finish inside the cracks showed
that it was *already* broken before it went to the finishing room. (How did
that one get past QC, either?)

Fourth replacement was OK.

But it took another shipment yet, before I got all the hinges.
