We spent over $25K upgrading the standard cortina kitchen our builder included since we both love to cook and entertain. Style is important to us so we went with the large modern handles, which was a mistake since cortina cabnets and drawers are very thin in the centre and VERY easily damaged. Having the built in applicances installed and regular use lead to very visible damage and handles falling off most drawers. We now use extra caution in opening and closing drawers and only keep very light items in our pot drawers (not our pots, which is impractical) to ensure they don't get damaged again. Getting a quote to replace the damaged pieces and actually getting the replacements with Cortina was a nightmare and i wasn't even asking for a refund or fix on damage - I simply wanted to pay to replace the damaged pieces. Both of us now work very far from home so we will be moving and renovating the kitchen in our new home soon with a different kitchen provider. Cortina kitchens look great but quality is far from good and customer service post sale is non-existent even if you simply want to buy more or pay to have a damaged piece replaced.
