Thanks Salex, and trust me - I've read everything GW has to say on the subject.

Layout the cabinets parts by each cabinet section. I had a missing item, one warped drawer, one wrong size and one cabinet that was cut wrong. The parts are all shipped for maximum portability so it's all mixed up. Check things off your list.

Pay careful attention to alignment. I had the contractor assemble my tall oven cabinet and one cabinet. The oven cabinet was wrong by Conestoga but the contractor worked around. The other cabinet, he assembled backwards.

I did the rest myself.

Beachem gives good advice. We just did a full kitchen over the last few months - it was a bit overwhelming when the truck dropped 7 full pallets in my driveway but once you get organized it really is not bad at all. I suggest trying to come up with an organizational system before you do anything else. I put all my wall cabinets in one area, base in another, tall cabinets in another, drawer boxes in another, hardware in another and trim off to the side since it would be needed last (I also had a pile of stuff that I no idea what it was, so I set that off to the side and as I got cabinets built I figured out where those pieces belonged). If you got inset cabinets there will be an extra pile of cabinet fronts, doors and drawer fronts since they are packaged separately.

I wouldn't open any boxes until you are ready to start assembling and then build one cabinet at a time. Get all your tools together and keep them together in a box or something so you can easily knock out a cabinet without having to dig around - the one thing that I bought that was worth it's weight in gold was a rechargeable battery powered brad nailer - it was really nice not to have compressor noise all the time. Building the first type of each was a little stressful - we watched the videos again, paused, backed up, etc - but after you have built one or two of each type (wall, drawers, etc) it's really a piece of cake - you can knock them out quickly and easily.

We started by building in a certain area of the kitchen and just worked our way around - built two or three each night after work. We checked them off the list as we went along and then piled them in a different area from the cabinets still to be built. We did have a few little issues - a couple of the drawer boxes were missing, one end piece was the wrong size - quickly rectified by the Cabinet Joint. We built and installed everything ourselves, and they were also very helpful with any questions that we had. If you are on a super tight schedule note that if there are any issues it may take a couple weeks to get a replacement piece, so factor that in. We had a little more flexibilty and luckily none of our issues prevented us from moving forward in the process.

Let me know if you have any specific questions - I do feel like we had a good system going by the end and I wouldn't hesitate to use these cabinets again.
