Anyone built ArcadeDepot Cocktail

<< < (3/6) > >>

Tilzs:
I think those kits are a pretty good deal if you don't have the tools, don't want to buy tools, don't have the space to use tools, or dont' want to use tools. I also think they are a good deal if if the cab is designed to spec as to what you'd build yourself. Yes you can save a bit of money building it yourself. The question you need to answer is do I want to build it from scratch and can I do a just as good/better job? Also, is the price difference worth my time or not?

RayB:
Exactly. There are plenty of pieces at Ikea that we could build cheaper, but how many of use have or WANT the tools required?

Perhaps you read the thread incorrectly, or haven't read anything else about building a cab.  Perhaps look around here a bit.  If you'll invest a little of your time, you'll see how to turn just about anything INTO a useful box for a cab.

Perusing IKEA's wares will show you that they do NOT sell cocktail cabinets, plans, or anything else related to ARCADE cabinets, but they DO sell cabinets.  Plain ol' cabinets. 

You sound a bit out of breath!
