It's air, it's took quite a while to really bled it out. All good now. (y)

Not dissatisfied, it is what it is. There's no difference between the doors and end panels on what I have, same thickness and tapered edges etc.

Huh?, I'd want them the same size so there's a universal gap going around the top and bottom and between the doors, all about 2.5mm. I wouldn't want them with no gap on the sides (I may be thinking without pelmets and top pieces whatever they're called however).

Being my first kitchen I had no idea on handle cost, but I know materials and what rusts! I've now bought these, solid 304 stainless at £4 each. https://www.thehandlestudio.co.uk/solid-brushed-stainless-steel-round-bar-style-cabinet-d-handles/

Tried that before I ordered, they don't use RAL codes it's something they make/mix/manufacture on site. They will sell 1Ltr of the stuff they make for about £50 but you have to push - and pick it up (they're not remotely close for me so that was a no go).

Yeah, by law. In that list they actually do have others with 'Stainless Steel effect' in the title. No leg to stand on. They've caved and will refund the postage but it shouldn't have taken a back and forth.

I'm not the only one that don't like pelmets though I may well be in the minority. I don't like under cabinet illumination either, looks cheap imo. It's not going to be hard for them to do two different heights and avoid the mess. Regardless, I have one cupboard that's reduced height anyway due...

I didn't because I prefer the look without them. In hindsight... (first kitchen install, will make mistakes).

Tricky colours on mine but I certainly would if I'd gone with white. diy-kitchens are being snotty. They say it's my faulty that their stainless steel handles are not stainless steel because when I added them to the basket I should have ignored the title (which says "stainless steel") and...

They say the reason they don't do end panels to the size of the cabinets is because people like to cut them to fit out of true walls. Thing is the panels are the correct size width wise so this can't be a valid reason. I think for the wall cabinets they should do two sizes depending on whether...

I don't mind cutting the bottom ones, the worktop overhang hides the cut. For the wall cabinets I do feel diy-kitchens have cheaped out not manufacturing to size. Looking at the cabinets (dark blue + graphite) I'm considering not bothering with end panels. It's a bit annoying as it's £200 worth.

Do you have to request it? I didn't have any in the box.

Are you saying two cuts and join somewhere in the middle? I don't have vinyl trim to pick off, they're painted.

They're also sold me "stainless steel" handles which are zinc alloy. Not overly impressed!

So really if you're not fitting pelmets (I'm not) then the finish may be better without an end panel assuming the colour doesn't stand out?
