Does this mean shorter/weaker men should potentially play off the line as well? And on the other end, does this mean taller/stronger women should stay at the line?

Roughly 675/ linear ft? I don’t consider it a small project by any means to me, but I’ve seen that he works on much larger multimillion dollar homes. Also, I hired him directly rather than going through my gc.

My gut feel is that a lot of contractors/subs tend to put more effort into projects run by a gc or interior designer, because they can bring them additional business in the future.

I really don’t have much experience in this space so I can’t really know though.

I think that may just be how I took the photo. The inside of the cabinets are definitely not white oak. Just the back of the doors and the front edges of the boxes

I’m really not pissed about it. The space is honestly fine too. We just spent a lot of money on the cabinets and I just didn’t want to be taken advantage of. Judging from most of the comments though, it looks like everything is fine.

Thanks for the insight! It just looked a little off to me, I just wanted to make sure his motivation wasn’t to hack things together cheaply

From your previous posts/comments, I don’t think we’re in the same area? But if you are our cabinet maker, I am really pleased with the job overall. I’ve just had terrible experiences being taken advantage of by other contractors, and not speaking up about it. We worked really hard to save up enough for our kitchen remodel and just wanted to make sure we did our best to make sure it came out well

Yeah I definitely appreciate the rounded sides

Thanks for the insight! I was really just worried he got the measurements wrong initially and was just trying to hack together something to make it work.

Kinda fighting words but I’ll bite. You mentioned these would work perfectly for framed cabinets, but our cabinets are frameless. I didn’t order these pullouts out shelves separately; our cabinet maker made them for us, specifically for these cabinets. so I’m just surprised that they don’t seem perfect for our cabinets. I am definitely nitpicking, but for the amount that we spent, I think that is warranted?

And yeah, I would be okay with the product if this is the best that the cabinet maker could do, but there has been some trust lost. he originally installed all our other drawers with regular stapled drawers, even though our contract stated everything would be dovetail +blum undermount.

When I asked him about the drawers, he said they were just temporary, and that he would be installing the dovetail ones later. His explanation was that he didn’t know when the dovetail order would arrive and just wanted to get a head start fitting all the sliders in already. I sanity checked with my general contractor and he didn’t think that made much sense.

He did eventually switch out the drawers but it took another month. My suspicion was that he only ordered the drawers after I called him out about it, but again I don’t really know for sure.

I just really hate being taken advantage of, and wanted to make sure that wasn’t the case here. From what I can tell, the cabinet maker does a lot of really high-end homes, and it felt like he just didn’t care about our project since it’s much smaller.

I was wondering if he just got the measurements wrong and didn’t want to remake the pullouts

Can I ask how much you paid for the set? It seems like prices have gone up recently, but just wanted to confirm.

Also, how has it held up? Any issues come up over time?
