At over $6700 US just to purchase, let alone transportation costs, import duties, etc. Pretty stylish, and costly! I like this one from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Compact-Kitchen-With-Sink-And/dp/B002WVLE14/ref=sr_1_6?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1342138517&sr=1-6&keywords=avanti+kitchen+unit
I’ve seen in on other sites as low as $550 shipped. A bonus, the fridge can be easily replaced and everything else easily repaired by a competent DIYer, or a handyman. The unit above may be a piece of art, but crap, it sure is priced that way.
I agree… hence the warning I gave. Some of these are for inspiration only.
