Please do! I'm thinking about talking to a local cabinet maker, for someone that knows what they are doing (i.e. not me) they don't look too difficult to make...?!

I love kit like this, but the prices often make me wonder how serious the designers are. It's a good idea, but you'd think they'd get a lot more revenue with a lower price tag as it shouldn't be something that complicated to manufacture.
