Alternative to oak interior

[Donna D.]

If I could choose, I'd still pick pickled white cabinetry. But more important to me would be an undermount sink... maybe a Corian countertop. Then I could have a double sink with flush mount covers. Swoon!

I can see this turning into an owner mod in the future.

Right now it's obvious Escape have their hands full just filling current demand and I'm sure, as small business owners they are cautiously looking over their shoulder for the next GFC, once bitten twice shy and why make things more complex than they are. I wanted to see if there was any interest in an alternative to oak, personally, being involved in the residential building industry for a long time, oak represents the very low end of cabinets finishes and I would prefer and would pay for a higher end finish, Escape could tag another $5k on to a "limited edition" model and still be cheaper than the competition plus keep a foot on either side of the fence.

Okay, I'd certainly swoon for a Corian counter and sink. You gotta love the lack of impossible to completely clean nooks and cracks. Then, Corian veneered tabletops. Why, the possibilities are endless.

Donna D, you are evil, but don't stop.

I'm swooning with you Donna!
Although I'd probably choose more of a creamy coloured cabinet, going with a Corian countertop was the BEST decision we made when we did our kitchen reno. You've got me dreaming now.
Double sink - YES!

Well, you may remember that Reace thought double sinks should go in the 21' and Tammy said NO because counter space is so important (I AGREE). but an owner mod... like the undermount double sink says we can have it all. Who's doing it first?

No, the very low end is the MDF Scamp cabinets doors. Solid oak trim may come and go in popularity but I wouldn't call it the very low end.
