FWIW, I made the mistake of buying a really cheap kitchen carcase on
eBay, for a wall mounted cupboard. I could almost see the chipboard
woodchips through the white "laminate".

It does look pretty straightforward; a straight run of work surface
roughly 2,400 mm across the room with two pan drawer units under, one
at each end. Then a tall wall unit to one side of the window.

The base units, though, come with feet to raise the work surface to
standing level of about 900 mm off the floor.

I would like minimalist feet (just enough twiddle to level the units)
to keep the desk top at around 750 mm off the floor.


Folks normally stand in a kitchen, but ...

Have some forward overhang off the top if you do intend to sit at them,
so your knees can go somewhere underneath. Having some greater depth is
useful for large PC cases etc..

Benchmarx maybe part of Travis Perkins but when I enquired last year
they wouldnt accept a TP account but was told I had to open another
Trade Account for Benchmarx.


Guy today said a Trade Account at TP was OK. I will check and report back.

On the subject of the legs for the base unit, it looks as though they are
a top, a bottom, and a plastic tube so I might be able to cut the tube
very short to drop the units down almost to the floor.


Cheers
