Custom built Alder mudroom bench...crazy estimate?!?!
Comments (19)Funny!! I was just admiring that pic on Houzz last night. I think I am going to eliminate the open shelving on the left side. That will save us nearly $600 and can be added later if we need it. The base cabinet on the right will be a 3 drawer stack. 2 deep bottom drawers perfect for the kids hats/mittens. And I will still have the open shelving on the top. I want the bottom underneath the bench to be open, because we are the type of family to just kick our shoes off, I just don't see the kids actually putting their shoes in a drawer. (Myself either ;-) Also considering removing the dividers, for the reasons you mentioned. I received another estimate today from another custom cabinet maker, and they were within about $700 for the entire mudroom. So I'm believing now, that the original estimate was not out of line.

Comments (10)About a year ago, I too got an outrageous quote from Grothouse. Instead, I used DeVos Custom Woodworking in Texas for our jatoba peninsula. I think it was about 1/2 of the Grothouse estimate. DeVos did a fantastic job on our countertop. You may want to at least get a quote from them before you go back to Ikea.

Comments (2)absurd pricing...and not even top of line...get a price on Am Standard or Trane, XV95 paired with XR16 AC condenser, Perfect Fit Media cabinet, 824 thermostat. Lennox thinks a lot more about their product than I do. You were quoted 90 KBTU high eff 2 stage furnace and 3 ton AC condenser.

Comments (2)I have a pro style range and mine is flush with my counters, however I did it all at the same time so they customized the cabinets based on the measurements. To me it seems high, but not sure what you can do now....See Morelazy_gardens
