cheekybee 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2008 Hi Liana..I have the same colours as you for my kitchen cabinets!Well, think its normal to see slight wavy effect, but make sure it is not too bad. A way to test is to see your own reflection. If your face is distorted badly or so, then probably there is a hollow area of the laminate that did not stick well enough onto the plywood. And also check for deep scratches on the laminate. If your contractor protected the glossy part with film when they install and only remove them after they are done, usually this should be ok. For me, the carpenters transported the doors here without film and a few had visible scratches as a result. Quite unhappy about it, so my contractor bopian changed those few for me...hehe.
