• Yeah it makes sense when you take all that into account for sure. Not sure if I want to stretch to that personally. What did you end up with yourself?

  • We're just buying a load of 8x4' 18mm Douglas Fir rotary-cut ply sheets, and getting our builder (who's also a joiner) to turn them into cabinet fronts and side panels.

    Each sheet is ~£160+VAT, and you can get 6x standard (600x800) base cabinet fronts out of one.

    Only risk with this, is visually ending up drowning in a sea of ply... We may well balance it out with doing the tall cabinets in pre-laminated white formica-faced ply. Will see how it looks with all the base cabinets done first.
