Yes.

When I get around to redoing my kitchen I have decided to use Pennville
Cabinetry. Their local dealer was too busy to work up a preliminary design.
So I biked over to Bay Ridge and asked High End Remodeling to sketch one
up. I did tell him I was interested in a practical kitchen. And that I
wanted a cabinet to store brooms and a step stool, and a microwave recessed
into the cabinets near the refrigerator. He sends me a sketch. First he
left out those two items. They didn't fit into the symmetry. Then, as he
wanted the stove to be exactly centered on the wall, he put two 6" base
cabinets on each side of the stove. He suggested that I use one for wine
storage, and the other as a spice cabinet. Needless to say I never got back
to him, and never will. High End Remodeling may be high end, but he knows
nothing about food and cooking.
