ask the folks you bought it from.

Those look a little like my cabinets. The uppers with the glass doors had painted interiors, shelves and bottoms. The others did not. I think the salesperson had to specify that paint upgrade in the order. I don’t know if I paid extra for it.

I’m guessing they do melamine on the shelves so they wear better?

The pre-drilled holes make the shelves adjustable…always a good idea. Did you have any discussion about materials with the salesperson? Were you shown a sample?

Pre drilled holes are great for adjusting shelves.

I think the original poster is referring to the three holes across the back on the bottom rather than the holes that run up along the sides for adjustable shelves.

These are not the holes for adjusting cabinets. they are holes with pencil marks at the back of the cabinets. iThe renovtion company also did not provde me with a warranty and asked for the remaining money without an electrical inspection that was included on our contract

Looks normal to me. And the holes across the back are meant for mounting screws!

I am looking for all the information i can get before posting reviews. i did visit another company that supplies these cabinets that said we would never receive mixed interiors and have seen other acrylic cabinets with melamine on the full interior. We were charged for the expensive custom line but have no custom design or materials involved. i was unaware that this series was called this and was told they didn’t have the colour i wanted. We were definately taken by this company and new high quality cabinets always come with a warranty. I also have a very poor quality microwave cabinet that she would not replace that doesn’t fit my microwave. Could these be reject stock cabinets?

"I also have a very poor quality microwave cabinet that she would not replace that doesn’t fit my microwave. Could these be reject stock cabinets?",.................

Answer? I doubt it, this is standard interior including pre drilled holes etc.

Who is "she" and why are you asking us, when the answer to the issues are your cabinetry contract , the details specified within that contract you signed on purchase. Get "she" over to the site , with the installer if need be. This can't be solved here. We have no clue as to your contract, and all its details. Or lack thereof.

"She" so you used a cabinet company to design your kitchen ? The holes are to make your life better as for the finish inside what were you expecting? As for anything else why come to us. Look at your oder you signed off on all of this should have been there . Show us that if you want any more explanation. If you had an actual KD then they would be the ones to ask. I deal with Ikea a lot for kitchens and you can choose the color of the box .

i guess it comes down to a breach of contract and a misleading company

That doesn't look like melamane to me, it looks like real wood. Possibly a veneer, but real. I think it looks great. Personally I love when synthetic finishes have wood details. I think it looks kind of Scandinavian.

Pre drilled holes are standard. You are going to be happy that you can move your shelves every now and then as your needs change over the years.

Breach of what contract ? How were you mislead? IMO without posting the contract we have no way to help.Waht are the doors on the cabinets maybe post pics of the whole cabinet .

"i did visit another company that said we would never receive mixed interiors and have seen other acrylic cabinets with melamine on the full interior."

They could also say they could have saved you 20K overall. What makes you think they would tell you the truth when you already own the new cabinets. Nothing in the game for them be 100% honest, they are just telling you what you want to hear.

So much missing information here. What brand are these cabinets? Did they have them on display? What was the inside like? You cannot compare brands - all companies do not manufacture their products the same way so going to another place won't give you a correct answer unless it is the same brand of cabinet. If you are not getting a correct answer from your designer, go over her head. Talk to the manager/owner of the showroom. You can also call the manufacturer and ask what their standard interior is. You have not answered the question about whether these are finished ends on this cabinet or what the interior is like on the other cabinets.

As far as the microwave is concerned - did you supply the model number of the unit you are purchasing to the designer? If you did - then she owes you a new cabinet UNLESS it is a build in model where it comes with a blank panel that needs to be cut to fit your particular unit. Again - more info is needed.

Sorry to be long winded, but we can better help you when we have photos and more specifics.

Good luck - I hope in the end it all works out for you.

She measured the micowave that doesn’t fit.

People are not understanding what type of holes i have. Here is a better picture

I also did talk to the manufacturer. She said the box would be either melamine or plywood. I understood that that would be the entire interior box. She then gave the same explanation about the finished ends later on. If these are new cabinets and this is how it is , it makes no sense why she wont provide me with a warranty

These are drilled holes and there are many of them

Manufacturers do not provide a warranty on cabinets that have not been paid in full, and the contract is complete You will reveive a warranty when the payment hits their account.

You are over reacting over a few misdrilled holes. And everything else. Hitting a stud is not always the easiest thing on some installs. Some putty and it will disappear, if you insist. . All end stage touchups occur during the final phase of install.

These are not the biggest issues i have with this company. She had a walk through and asked for her remaining 10% without an electrical inspection, i have un unlevel cabinet with a 4 ft piece of drywall behind it that is not taped or sealed, she subtracted the dishwasher installation without our consent leaving us with the hardwiring in the wrong place and i had to hire an electrician to put an outlet in . we paid for dimmable lighting that we dont have and a light that doesnt work. I contacted the city of wpg regarding the permit and i told her i would be getting my electrical through the amesty program. She then pulled a permit and failed the inspection.

I am not overreacting. Just looking for information

Also this is melamine, not wood

She let go of the remaining 10% 2 months ago. No warranty provided

If she measured the microwave and it is not fitting - do not let that go. That falls on her to replace. Is she the owner of the business? Were the extra holes in the cabinet there before they were installed? You would have to be able to prove that to get any sort of warranty action from the cabinet manufacturer.

You said that it's melamine, not wood - what did you pay for ? Does it say that on your contract? That would be more ammunition you can use to get some resolve from this business.

A failed electrical inspection is not good either. Make sure that is resolved ( at her expense ) .

I know there are 2 sides to the story but I think you may have to fight for some things to be corrected.

Good luck

I can't even tell what the pics are showing, they are so close up. But, no kitchen shop should be touching electrical. That is the job of an electrician. Which could be why she backed that out of the contract. And unless they are a licensed GC, they shouldn't be hiring electricians either. I will help to coordinate the cabinets with the timing for an electrician, or plumber, or drywaller, or flooring guy, to come in, but hiring one is entirely on the homeowner., or their general contractor.

Who is the she you keep talking about ?

Hello, my cabinets are from cabico. I would like to thank the person who noticed that the back of the cabinets look like wood. i actualy have 3 different materials on the inside. . plywood, maple melamine and white acrylic, i really need an answer to why this would be like this before reporting them. The company is well known in the industry and is reno mark certified.

@User lol. OP, You seem to have alot of contractual questions between you and the kitchen designer and contractor that people on the internet can't answer without seeing your contract...and a plethora of other details to be honest. You need to consult your contract and then go over your concerns with whoever you hired for the project. If the project is not finished, it's likely you will still find "unfinished items" that you notice, that won't be there at the end. For example...if you want the holes to not show, they make simple plugs that cover those holes. Ask your contractor about those plugs/covers. I hope you get your questions answered.

Question, did you get white acrylic cabinet doors, per your first photo carcass with white acrylic side panel and possibly birch/maple plywood back/top/bottom?
