FAQs

Kitchen and Laundry Cabinets

Do you manufacture custom cabinets?

We do not offer any custom cabinets, you can find all of the sizes we offer on our website under ‘Our Products

 

Will my cabinets come flat packed?

Our kitchen, laundry and tall cabinets only come fully assembled, we do not offer flat packed cabinets.

 

What board material do you use?

The board we use is Laminex 16mm TE White Melteca board with a white satin finish. All of our board is manufactured in New Zealand from sustainably grown New Zealand pine.

 

How do I add special requirements?

We have 3 special requirement options; No Handle Holes, No doors but include hinges and mounts or no doors, no hinges or mounts. These options can be found at the bottom of the page once you have selected ‘go to cart.’ There is also a special requirements box here that can be used for additional delivery notes or other notes you wish to add.

 

Can I just replace the doors on my cabinets?

Yes! If your original cabinets were purchased from us, you can let us know in an email which doors you need to replace and we can price these for you. If your cabinets were not purchased from us, you can use the ‘custom panel’ feature online to find a price for the exact size doors you require.

 

Do you sell appliances?

We sell a range of appliances, these can be found here: Appliances.

Benchtops

How do I calculate the size of my benchtop?

It is best to manually add up the width of each cabinet, under bench voids, end panels and overhangs, you can then put these measurements in to our benchtop planner and decide which ends you would like to have clashed. All of our benchtops have a rolled edge at the front and if you select the ‘breakfast bar’ option, this will be rolled on both the front and back edges.

 

How do I calculate the overhang on my benchtop?

We usually recommend a 15mm overhang on the front edge of our benchtops, for example, if your cabinetry is 585mm deep, we would recommend a 600mm deep benchtop. For any exposed ends of the benchtop (i.e. not against a wall or tall end panel) we recommend a 10-15mm overhang to give the top a more finished look. These exposed ends also require clashing or ‘finishing’ to cover the raw edge.

 

Can I purchase an offcut?

We do not keep any benchtop offcuts in stock. If you require a benchtop blank (3660mm), this will need to be ordered online. You can then get in contact with the office to see if we have any available to be picked up earlier.

 

Do you sell splash backs?

Unfortunately, we do not offer any splash backs or upstands.

Wardrobes

Do your wardrobes come flat packed?

Our wardrobe components do come flat packed, you can access our helpful ‘how-to guides’ here: How-to Guides

 

Do you provide wardrobe doors?

We do not offer any wardrobe doors.

 

How do I split my multiple wardrobe order by room?

We recommend placing multiple seperate orders when purchasing wardrobes for more than one room or for multiple walls in a walk-in wardrobe. This means that the components for each room or wall will come labeled with a different order number and makes dividing the packages on site more straight forward.

Ordering and Payment

Do you measure on site?

We do not provide any on-site services

 

How do I get a quote?

Our business model is a do-it yourself experience, we have a range of online planners for wardrobes, benchtops, laundries and kitchens. We usually recommend that our customers create an account on our website, put their measurements in to the planning tool they require and play around with the cabinetry/products available. You will be able to see what your design will cost as you design it.

 

Do you offer a design service?

We do not offer a design service, however, if you are having some trouble with our online planning tool you can get in contact with us or visit us in our showroom and our team will do their best to help you out.

  

Do you carry stock of your products?

All our cabinet, benchtop and wardrobe products are made to order, this means you will need to place an order online.

 

Do I need to make full payment when I order?

We will need to receive full payment before we start manufacturing your order. Payment can be made by card when placing your order or by bank deposit.

 

How long after placing will I receive my order?

Our production lead time varies depending on demand. Typically, it stays between 7-15 working days. As part of the checkout process, you will be prompted to select a ‘required date.’ The soonest date available indicates our current production lead time, however, this is NOT a delivery date.

Delivery schedules vary enormously depending on location:

Auckland delivery: allow an extra 1-3 business days

North Island Delivery: allow an extra 2-5 business days

South Island Delivery: allow an extra 5-14 business days

 

Installation

Do you offer an installation service?

We do not provide an installation service to our customers. We have a list of recommended installers on our website under ‘installers.’

 

Do you provide a sink or cooktop cutout?

We do not provide sink or cooktop cut outs on our custom benchtops as we found that this is something that often varies with installation. This is something that is usually performed by the person installing the kitchen to ensure placement and measurements are all correct. You can access our ‘how-to guide’ on sink cutouts here: Sink Cutout How-to

 

Do you provide everything for install? 

Our cabinets come fully assembled, some slight adjustment may be required on the hinges or drawer fronts. Screws, L-brackets and other accessories will not be included, they can be found on our website here: Accessories. Our toe-kicks do not come with clips, we usually use silicone or glue on the adjustable feet to secure the panel. 

Pick Up and Delivery

What is the process for picking up my order?

Your order will be manufactured by your selected required by date, you will receive an email to confirm that your order is ready to be picked up from our factory. You do not need to request a time slot to pick up your order, however, it may be a good idea if you are coming from outside of Auckland to check that your order is ready to be picked up before you set off.

 

How do I arrange delivery?

You can chose to have your order delivered in the check-out process when placing your order. Once you get to the ‘shipping’ stage, you will be provided with the option to select shipping to your address. If your order is being delivered outside of Auckland, it will be picked up by our freight company; Conroy Removals, and you will be contacted by them after the uplift to confirm a delivery time. If your order is being delivered within Auckland, a member of our team will be in touch with you the day before delivery to confirm.  

Please note: the ‘date required’ selected at checkout is an expected production date, NOT a delivery date. Once your order is completed, it will be booked on to the next available truck coming to your region.

 

Delivery schedules vary enormously depending on location:

Auckland delivery: allow an extra 1-3 business days

North Island Delivery: allow an extra 2-5 business days

South Island Delivery: allow an extra 5-14 business days

 

How much is delivery?

The cost for delivery is calculated based on the size of your order and your location. Once you have added everything to your shopping cart, you can use the shipping calculator at the bottom of the page by entering your postcode and region, this will provide you with a quote.

 

If your postcode is unavailable in our system, you will be prompted to contact the office. Our office team will be able to provide you with a freight quote directly from our freight company once you have placed your order under the ‘bank deposit’ option. If you no longer wish to go ahead with the order after receiving the freight quote, your order can be cancelled.
