I've reached the point of exasperation with so called kitchen fitter/suppliers, with extended delivery dates and mysteriously increasing quotes. I'm going to have to do it myself. Now, it seems I go and buy carcases, and I can get the fittings like magic corners, and drawer units etc no problem. But when I look at my existing kitchen which was fitted about 8 years ago, it's not just a matter of screwing the units onto the wall. They seem to be fixed to some sort of panelling, and short of dismantling the entire thing, I can't see how the thing is put together. Can anyone advise me? Ideally a book on kitchen unit assembly would be ideal. I'm aware that carcasses should be 18mm etc, but I could use info on quality hinges and drawer slides. I'm in Ireland. I'm not concerned about the worktop which will be granite - the granite man comes, he measures, he templates, he goes away, comes back and fits... apparently!
All input of will be most welcome - this farce has been going on for nearly a year...
Thank you
Derek
