Customer Reviews

Nice pictures but not enough information
The subtitle of this book should be, Building for Pros--this is definitely not for DIYers. There are lots of nice pictures which will give good ideas for designing your own kitchen, but you'll have to get someone else to do the work, for all the practical help this book provides.

Well written, not the best
A well thought out book with some good ideas for those interested in building 'kitchen-style' cabinets. Down to earth advice, and quite readable.

However, not the best book that I have read on the subject and seems a little dated in places - good do with better illustrations and clearer images.

Disapointing
I'd done a little research before purchasing this book and the reviews seemed good. However I found the information dated and the instructions somewhat skimpy.
