I was renovating a small kitchen and thought I could salvage the cabinets but they were too far gone. So I was looking for something not super expensive, since I had not budgeted for this expense.
Budget kitchen was getting rid of a ton of showroom/floor models. I got a six foot run of base and wall cabinets, plus a countertop for $400. The cabinets are solid maple, with beautiful bronze finished knobs/hardware. The drawers all have that silent/slow close feature. It was strictly cash and carry, and I estimate the retail value was at least $1500-2000. The floor room people were nice on the phone and at the store.
The counter is laminate, but very closely resembles granite/quartz and has a fancy double ogee finish.
I can't speak to their installation skills or how their workmanship/work schedule, but I can tell you that the cabinets and countertop were gorgeous and have held up surprisingly well in a well used corporate housing unit. In fact, I'm gutting another kitchen and may be calling them to see if they have more showroom models they're trying to get rid of!
