Hanssem kitchen cabinets

We've had Hanssems for ~6 yrs now and LOVE them. I'm an avid cook and if I ever do another reno I will use their cabs again. We have the thermofoil that looks like wood and have fooled dozens of experts into thinking they're real maple. Ours have held up extremely well, look great, and I like Hanssem b/c they have a huge # of standard sizes and large frameless spaces in which to cram all my cooking paraphenalia. Friend who's an architect also put (real wood) Hanssems into her recent kitchen reno. Good luck!

I had my neighbors put them up and they are very nice. The price is the biggest problem, about 3X price of Ikea.

They don't look all that nice to me (at least the ones on display at W72nd location).

I can't see paying big money for a kitchen re-do in Manhattan. First, most people in Manhattan rarely cook. And second, most Manhattan kitchens are so tiny that it's not worth putting in high end cabinets.

Hi I just got my cabinets done and installed by surpluskitchencabinets.com and they are incredible, I paid close to 4000.00 for better quality then Ikea priced me close to 5000.00 and a china retail outlet wanted 4300.00 so you cant beat that!

We paid 8K for a 10x8 galley kitchen--the finish is truly horrible and nasty on the doors (we made the mistake of choosing the "higher-quality" doors). Finish looks a lot better on Ikea thermafoil doors. Boxes are good, though. Sincerely regret buying Hanssem and the cabinet guy we consulted said their customer service is bad so good luck trying to get doors with decent finish on them. Echh. At least Ikea you get what you pay for.

I have said this before,

Ikea's finishes are excellent. They are not just for people on budgets, we have installed them in some pretty hi- end projects and they look great. If you use the flat panels you also can customize them.
