Beware of the problem that there are NO hinge holes in the doors. It was hardly "ready"! That part of the fitting video has also been poorly removed. To have someone come and do them is an extra cost....A big one not bargained on! Nor was it explained to us at time of purchase from "Supply" in Devonport Tasmania. Impossible for a layman to do successfully. After that, we decided to get a quote on build and fit (to our own design) a complete kitchen and it actually worked out a lot cheaper than getting another ******* flatpack. There are lots of kitchen mobs around nowadays and the prices have come down considerably. Hope this helps. Re: flat pack kitchen 10Dec 15, 2010 3:44 pm where abouts are you located? I have found a bit of variance but i am surprised to hear that there where not hinge holes in the doors! One place i have used in the past the only hole you had to drill was to install was the door handle ever other thing was pre drilled.

There are also a lot of flatpack kitchen companies that do good packs, at a reasonable price and don't play tricks such as what you encountered. Haven't done a kitchen as yet, but have used the company below for wardrobe inserts and found them to be top notch. Interestingly they talk about hinges etc and leave it up to the customer to decide if they want pre-drilled or left as is. I would only use a company like this if I knew exactly what I was doing though. That is I knew what I wanted and how it would all fit together. http://www.cabinetsondemand.com.au/ I would suggest you simply go and talk to council about your proposal, most councils are getting onboard with ancillary dwellings.
