Cabinet install - it doesn't look right - HELP!!!
Comments (36)lazygardens photo shoes variations, but just different shades of the same tone. RED is a whole different family than Brown, and I can't imagine the same wood turning RED with a simple varnish. I'm with you. I would be bothered by the completely different color hues. It would be understandable, light vs dark in the SAME color family, but 2 different families on one piece of wood? Looks to me like 2 different woods. I just walked in our pub and looked at the butcher block top, stained in a walnut tone, and yes, there are variations, but every little piece of the block has the same tone. Maybe the fix would be to strip the whole thing, stain it all one color, and then apply varnish? I am sorry this happened to you. Good luck with getting the contractor to fix it for you. If you still owe money you do have leverage. An unhappy customer is not good business for any contractor. Fingers Crossed for you!...See Moredishwasher panels are drawer fronts?
Comments (6)Look at the side of the metal trim on the dishwasher. If there are screws there you should be able to take out the black front and install a wood panel in its place. Normally a 1/4" wood panel will slip into the trim. If you want it to have the styling to match your cabinet doors you can get the closest size door to screw onto the panel. You have to be careful on the bottom panel that the top panel won't hit the styled bottom panel when the door is open. Usually the bottom panel is just the 1/4" paneling without an applied drawerhead for that reason.Any kitchen cabinet supplier or millshop should be able to help you with this. How well it integrates will depend on how customizable the cabinet line is. Most custom cabinet lines let you order the styled part to any size thus giving the most integrated look. If you have the model number of the dishwasher try to look it up on-line. If the dishwasher can take panels the specs should provide the panel sizes you should order....See MoreIs there a really good dishwasher that doesn't cost a fortune?
Comments (68)I was the original author of this thread. I ended up buying the Bosch 500 series SHP65T55UC from Best Buy at a cost of just over $950 including the extended warranty and sales tax. I bought this dishwasher after reading hundreds of reviews from various sources. Simply stated, it appeared to be the best choice for the price. I've used this product for about a month now. For me, the pros and cons are as follows: Pros: Name brand with a reputable history Stainless steel interior Available in multiple colors and door styles The third rack is a helpful feature that I would now miss if I didn't have it. Cons: It will only "clean" dishes that require a moderate wash and rinse. (In other words, a frying pan with scrambled eggs stuck to it when going in the dishwasher, still tends to have eggs stuck to it coming out of the dishwasher.) There is no heating element, so don't expect a load of completely "dry" dishes, either. If you think you might need an item again soon, you might be better off washing it by hand, since this dishwasher may need 2+ hours to complete a load. The noise level varies with the volume and placement of the load. It is not always whisper quiet. To sum up, I do not feel that this dishwasher is worth what I paid for it. I'm convinced that I could have purchased a similar level of quality--perhaps even better--for several hundred dollars less. I've attempted to follow the manufacturer's recommendations regarding both installation and operation. Yet, the performance of this product is disappointing. I'm at a loss to explain the overwhelming consensus of positive reviews that this product has received. Perhaps others have identified virtues that I've yet to perceive. I can only say that I regret this purchase and do not recommend this dishwasher to others....See MorePanel Ready Bosch Dishwasher wont sit flush with cabinets
Comments (50)A panel front dishwasher DOES NOT sit 2" out from the cabinets. That is not normal. Period. I'd be mad if it sat 1/8" out from the cabinets. I have a panel front Bosch and inset cabinets. My dishwasher sits perfectly flush with the cabinet faces. That is the way they are designed the be installed. The hose is your problem. You have to pull the DW back out and pull the hose into the cabinet under the sink as someone else pushes it back in. Do this and you will have plenty of room for both the DW and the panel front. Spend some time getting the panel to sit flush, level, square, and with an even reveal (gap around the sides of the panel). There are feet you can adjust on the front, and a screw in the front center that adjusts the back leg. Once you have that, install your brackets to hold it in place. If the job is too much for you or your husband, have a pro do it. You'll both be happy you did....See Morewdccruise
