Most people plan their kitchen in three rushed vendor meetings — and pay for it for the next 15 years. A cheap carcass near the sink, "soft-close" that isn't, a chimney that's too small, storage that ignores your cookers and dabbas… these quiet mistakes are baked in before a single cabinet is cut. This handbook makes sure that never happens to you.
