A: Just want to be completely new.

B. Need more reaction work space.

C. Need more storage or add food to space'

D. Need new appliances, floor sink

E. Cabinet drawers stick or not work or other cabinet problems

A. No

B. Yes.

How long do you plan to stay at home?

[Some refurbisher also offers optional replacement of the entire drawer and drawer sliding system and adds other internal features.]

• The warranty applies only to new products. Basic cabinet is not included
