I don`t see how you could possibly go wrong !! Are you going to use the oak one in your new kitchen ??   You know what,,, one of those would look great as a towel closet in a bathroom !! If the bathroom was large enough !!

Here they are using old dressers for bathroom vanities and mounting a sink in them !!  So much cheaper than  having one built !! And faster for a re-do !! That mahogany corner cabinet would go in mine for a towel cabinet in a hearbeat if I were remodeling !!  And if I lived there of course !!  No hope for here though !!

NO BRAINER!!!

It just wrenches my gut to see how cheap things go for over there and to think they are BURNED UP!!!!!!!!!!!!

I understand you have to stay warm...but....no words......

Heck...I'd build an extra corner, if I had a chance to buy those.

Beautiful!  I have a weakness for hanging corner cabinets.   I have been told in no uncertain terms "no more hanging cabinets!!"  But I would sneak these ones in, especially at that price!! GG

A bargain. In the U.S. anyway.
