Making own kitchen.

Post by PezzaG »

New Year...must finish the house this year, im thinking of making the cupboards myself and buying the doors and worktops. Whats are people thoughts on this?

Thinking of using mainly 18mm mdf for most of the work, does this sound ok??

in a word you would have to be nuts lol :shock:

if you are talking about standard kitchen units and doors then its cheaper to buy the carcases

if you are talking making non standard design then finnishing in a non standard way then doing it yourself will be cheaper as a bespoked kitchen is several times the price but are your skills and tools up to very accurate work !!!
