Flat Pack Cabinets: Check List Last modified 18 December, 2011 The only way to evaluate comparative costs for kitchen and storage
cabinets is to look at the TOTAL cost of ordering, rather then just comparing
the cost of a single cabinet. 1. Does the quoted cabinet prices include GST? Be careful, as some suppliers
quote prices excluding GST! 2. How much is the delivery cost? This can make quite a difference when comparing costs between different Companies. The delivery cost is usually something that is only determined at the end of an order and not included in the cost of the cabinet. At Cabinets on Demand, we always endeavour to source the best price for you and we do not mark-up the quoted Freight costs. Moreover with currently nine different production outlets we can over easy pick-up or local delivery to many customers. 3. Do you have to pay extra for customising sizes. How much extra will it cost you to have a 600mm cabinet cut down to 567mm? With our system you specify the size and we give you a discounted price to take into account the saving in materials cost. Not only that, but you do not get a "cut down" cabinet - with our system the cabinet is made to the right size the first time around -equalling a much better cabinet to start with. 4. Can you get custom sizes for Height and Depth as well as Width? Whilst some Companies will only cut the width, they will not cut the height and depth. Cabinets on Demand cabinets are fully 3 way customisable (Height, Width & Depth) - at no extra labour cost. You pay less for savings in dimensions and a bit more for exceeding "standard" sizes. 5. What about Corner cabinets? - Is there a full range available and can you specify your own custom dimensions? Very few Companies can do this or even want to, but again Cabinets on-Demand provides this service at no extra cost, as we realise that it is very important to offer this customisability in corner cabinets. With our fully automated design and integrated production system different sizes only affect material cost savings/increases. 6. Compare the "standard" size range. Almost all Flat Pack suppliers are still set to the "old" system of only 720mm high for their base cabinets. The problem with this is that most people now wanting a taller bench height (higher than 900mm over-all) and by using a 720mm high cabinet, this just makes the kickboard area higher. The kickboard area is just wasted space. With the Cabinet on-Demand system, our "standard height" is 750mm - at no extra charge and we can go much higher if you need to. 7. Similarly about the Depth - that in most cases can be as great as 700mm deep for Base (Floor) cabinets and up to 500mm or more deep for Wall cabinets. All at no extra costs in design and manufactoring - except small incremental charges for materials used - and all exclusively offered by Cabinets on Demand. 8. Are Drawer cabinets made to measure? With Cabinets on-Demand you can specify varying drawer front Heights and mix Pot Drawers with Cutlery Drawers should you need to. Not only that, but you can specify the Depths of the runners, if needed. Total flexibility with drawer configurations when using the Cabinets on-Demand system. Self-closing or soft-closing drawer systems can be ordered also as optional extras. 9. What about the Upper Cabinets back wall thickness? There are some suppliers that just have very thin backs, which does not make the cabinet strong and easy to install. You should always Insist on a solid 16mm back for greater strength, durability and easy fixing to wall. With Cabinets on-Demand a 16mm solid back comes as standard, not an extra. 10. Is the carcass made according to the Australian standard for 16mm HMR (High Moisture Resistant) Particle board, or just plain 16mm Particleboard, or worse still, is it an imported Particleboard with probably a higher formaldehyde content that would not be allowed for manufacture in Australia? All the board that Cabinets on-Demand uses either meets or exceeds the Australian standard and we use only quality Australian board manufactures for our cabinets and surface finishes. 11. Can you the exact number of shelves you require, from 0 - 7 for selected cabinets? Is this easy and cost effective? With Cabinet on-Demand specifying shelves is simple and no problem at all. Not only that, but you can specify if you want these as Fixed or the Adjustable shelving and you are also asked to specify whether or not you want shelves to be "inset" for a better look. 12. If you do need Fillers for some of your cabinetry, can you specify Height,
Width and Edging requirements for these? 13. Legs - does the cabinet price include the plastic Adjustable Legs, pre-drilled for easy installation. When you buy Cabinets on-Demand cabinets (excluding the carcase only option of course), you receive the Adjustable plastic legs, bases and kickboard clips, pre-drilled for easy installation. Can you get Nickle plated legs instead? 14. Bench tops - when you order these can you also order the machining required for the joining of these tops? Does the machining come with the joining bolts required? With all Cabinets on-Demand postform bench tops you can easily specify the joining requirements and they come complete with the joining hardware required. 15. Can you order the full range of Laminated Bench tops, or are you limited to just a few colours? With Cabinets on-Demand, you can not only order the colour of your choice, but you can also choose the finish you want. 16. Are the Flat Packs made in Australia and are the manufacturing jobs being kept in Australia? Flat Packs are now being imported from places like China, however Cabinets on Demand is a 100% Australian Company, manufacturing in Australia, by Australians for Australians. Flat
