A new set of kitchen top cabinet was installed yesterday and the result is........

This brand new set is even more sub standard as compared to the first set that i had rejected.. ! ! !

Sharing the below sub standard works of my 2nd set of brand new kitchen top cabinet and all comments are definitely welcome.

Look at the door alignment to the cabinet near to mirror and also the extended part at the bottom:

Look at the uneven gap on the top of the cabinet door

Look at the doors measurement. Left Vs right

This pic cant really tells much but i wana show how much longer the door is extended from the main structure.

Thank you Sunshine for following my blog and i dun really have much things to share or any fantastic designs for my house. Just a simple reno i guess. As for the gaps which you had mentioned, i think even if the gaps are there for a purpose, but still it should be at least equally spaced on both the left and right side. The top cabinet design which i had i mind is not that difficult to fabricate in my opinion. It is just a simple 4 doors and furthermore, it is only 6ft in length!!

Hope your reno will be smooth ..

Hi Terrain, yes,you are right the gaps at both ends shld at least be even. I hope you ID/contractor shld get all those not up to mark items rectified. Your sharing has make me more aware of what to look out for when my contractor builds my kitchen cabinet. Xie xie ni

Hi Sunshine,

You have a big kitchen!

Yes, renotalk is the place whereby you can pick up others' comment to prevent the same thing from happening again during your reno. Also, over here we can learn alot of wonderful things from others as well.

Met up with my coordinator during lunch time. She came out with all sort of reasons like the cabinet are all hand made and not be machine so definitely, there will have here and there not perfect !!! Waokao..

I told her this kind of standards is definitely not acceptable and i asked her, her company specialise in which type of door opening and i am willing to forego my original design for my top cabinet to suits their workmanship as long as they can give me a decent one. (Really very tire and i am no longer asking for perfect workmanship. As long as it is decent and presentable i will accept). Hope i am not asking too much with this request.

Can anyone advise me how to deal with such situation?

Hi Terrain

When bought this flat was complaining kitchen its too small... guess I am very greedy ..hee hee..

I understand how you feel because its similar to my previous reno experience. Very tiring and energy draining, stress, stress! ... Hopeing to have a magic wand to make everything in order with a fick of the wand. My personal opinion is: you shld tahan & demand for your had sign for - the origina design. Your HOME is YOUR CASTLE. However, if you really cannot tahan and want to compromise PLEASE ask for discount or dont pay. Am sure your ID/contractor will act to your favour when it comes to $$$.

or perhaps a short getaway for the weekend will help to de-stress alittle and you can better handle this when you are back

Good luck and hope to hear/see a 'happy' post next! and have a good weekend
