That is true, but if your an average person without many DIY skills good luck finding someone to put a set of drawers into one existing cabinet. Much better to just do it now!

I hate cupboards. Being short I can never reach into the back of most cupboards and can never see behind whatever is in front.

No don't do it! It will cost you a lot more money to do it this way. Mind explaining why?

My build blog here Re: Cupboards Or Drawers? 12Mar 22, 2017 9:12 am First off trying to find a cabinet maker willing to retro fit drawers to an existing kitchen will be very hard.
