Kraftmaid RUBBISH versus IKEA's quality

[HoneySuckle]

Should have gone with IKEA cabinets. I used many of them in Europe and couldn't believe the quality and performance.

I ended up buying Kraftmaid in late June because I listened to the rubbish told to me by several kitchen designers that IKEA wasn't good enough for my house. Rubbish I say!  

After opening almost all the boxes of Kraftmaid cabinets, I have to say they're the biggest bunch of half-made things I've ever come across.  They used lots of particle board (backings and side) that are crumbling as you take them out the boxes.  Somebody got trigger happy with the glue gun and just shot glue everywhere to keep these flimsy cabinet bodies together.  There are dings in the side of a few (from shipping, but still...).

Home Depot is sending someone over on Friday (they're all busy at meetings in OK City apparently) to go over the damaged items and reorder...what if I just want my damn money back???
