Although we had a well established layout, she pointed out many important details that were critical in making our kitchen a success. We also recently explored multiple cabinet options for the pantry and laundry, as an add-on to the original project. Samantha has always been prompt in responding to our request for information and quotes via email or on the phone. During the course of the project Samantha moved from Big C's store South Bend, IN office to the Eau Claire, MI facility but you would not known it from a customers view...... it was seamless. I highly recommend Samantha and Big-C for your home projects. **Comment from Samantha Austin of Big C Lumber:** > Hi Bill! Thank you so much for your awesome review.

I would like to put a pantry cabinet next to a wall (I have a space that is 22 inches wide). How much space do I need to leave between the wall and the cabinet, so the cabinet will open fully? A: If the adjacent door extends beyond the depth of the pantry cabinet, you could go as low as 3/4" and be fine. However, if it does not, the cabinet hardware will need to be taken into account. For instance, if your hardware is 1.5" deep, then you should fill at least 2.25" between the wall cabinet and the pantry. (3/4" + 1 1/5" = 2 1/4") **Q: What are the countertops?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: These weren't purchased through me, so I'm not sure of the name, but I know it's a type of Marble. **Q: full or partial overlay?** *(in Photo Questions)* Are these full over lay drawers or partial? thanks it is a great look! A: Neither. These are "Frameless". --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-06.*
