Kitchen cabinets- Inset or traditional cabinets

ladybug_2009

I am in the process of buying new cabinets and like the look of the inset cabinets with hidden hinges.

They are quite a bit more money so I am looking for some feedback if you have them the advantages besides the look of them.

Thanks

    I have always had inset - I love the period look and wouldn't settle for anything else. If the period look is not important then I don't think it is worth the up charge. I have found having them custom made by a cabinet maker is less expensive. I did that with the last 2 kitchens I have done.
