The contractor did the demo and the wall builds, we did the cabinets, countertop, installations, painting, etc.
We have two pieces of advice. 1) If you live near a store, it is convenient to have things delivered there so you can immediately return/replace it. 2) Give yourself plenty of lead time for said returns/replacements.
Hardware: The hardware seems pretty decent. Nice soft close. However, the hardware wasn’t pre-drilled by the manufacturer, so there are some places where the wood has split as a result.
Would we do this again? Likely not, but we would be equipped with better information to make it less stressful.
