Hi

After much searching I have finally found some kitchen door and base
units I like - at IKEA - 'ADEL white'. The only problem is I dont
like any of the worktops at IKEA.

I have found a nice worktop in Wickes - 'smooth black' worktop (not
the shiney plastic looking worktops but has a hard compound on the
chipboard that makes it feel smooth to the touch)

THe problem is IKEA units seem to be a different depth to other
kitchen manufacturers. Their units are all 60cm in depth, their
worktops are 62cm to overhang the units slightly. All the other
stores I have been t, including Wickes, sell 60cm depth worktops.

I have asked at Wickes in Bradford to see if they will cut a worktop
with a depth wider than 60cm but they wont.

Does anyone know of a store around leeds/bradford which sells this
type of smooth worktop and is prepared to cut them deeper than 60cm?

THanks for any help

Another kitchen installer told me that as well. He said the worktops
were deeper than 60cm.

I have been into the Wickes showroom in Bradford and measured the
full depth of the worktops( including the bevelled bit), and checked
the measurments in their kitchen booklet and both were 60cm depth.

The person who install Kitchens showed me a tool (board with holes
in!) which he uses for cutting worktops and there is particular hole
for Wickes worktops which seems to be 616cm. So either Wickes have
changed their worktops depth very recently or I am not understanding
something?
