Congrats on getting one step closer!

• Much less-expensive (but not always "cheap") after-market & easy to install:

  • Tray storage separators

  • Bread drawer inserts

  • Utensil organizers

  • Soft-close on doors

• Trash foot pedal

• Junk drawer organizers

• Pot & pan organizers

What would be too difficult or expensive and is better through the cabinet company:

• Soft-close on drawers

• Toe-kick drawers

Not sure:

• Trash pullout (if you do this aftermarket, be sure to ask for the door to be delivered uninstalled so you don't have pre-drilled holes that you don't need)

Sometimes, though, cabinet companies will offer some of these "free" as part of a promotion or other "deal". If so-offered, research what it would cost you to purchase & install after-market vs whatever is required to meet the requirements of the "deal".

I'm sure there are more & I'm sure others will chime in!

Again and again, I and we thank you for your generous input. I will print your list. Perfect. Just what I wanted.

i think if you are planning a SS or LS that might be better done by the cab company.

do you want tilt outs at the sink? are you or dh handy with doing those things? if not handy, I'd have them do that also.

I have a rev-a-shelf after market garbage pullout. It is great. We love it -- we purchased the kit that attaches it to the cabinet door. We got the hinges for the cabinet door as well in case a future owner (hopefully not for a long time) wants to use that cabinet as a cabinet rather than a garbage pull out. We also have the tray separators and a variety of utensil drawer organizers. I had my contractor install everything for me.
