This new kitchen was an insurance replacement job when the original cabinets where severly damaged due to flooding from a broken pipe. The unique factor in this job was that the counter tops could not be removed with out damaging them. So, I made the cabinets slightly shorter so they would fit under the counter tops. Then I shimed the counter top  from undeneath so the counter top was resting solid on the cabinets. A small trim piece hides the gap. The cabinets are all solid mahogany with circular trays in the corners and full extension slides on the shelves. Upper cabinets have two adjustable shelves. All the drawers have dovetail joints.
