So where's IKEA? They usually have quite nice cupboards. Well, the doors are nice. Made of aluminium and frosted glass, like we had in Amsterdam. The cupboards themselves are made of chipboard, and rubbish. Well, I can make them myself of decent plywood (multiplex).
IKEA has "Jutis" glass doors for €30. And hinges for both vertical and horizontal usage. And METOD horizontal cupboards. Or, a vertical one: METOD vertical:
Remains the question what to do. Use the chipboard IKEA frames complete with the glass doors? I don't like chipboard, and the cupboards are quite deep (38cm), while we think 22-25 cm is enough. And do we prefer horizontal or vertical?
You can't open the horizontal doors with an elbow or with a shoulder that doesn't work very well. Those hinges need quite some force to open. Also, your writs is in the way when you open them. Not practical.
ReplyDeleteI installed them for someone in a kitchen I made and she regrets it.
