Sorry to hijack - do Ikea do custom benchtops? We need one, but the quote we got from the local joiner was HIDEOUS! We just was a decent cheapie, as we'll be moving in August, hopefully sooner. We need to go custom, as we have a long l-shaped bench.

BB: just a thought...we went with stainless steel for our benches and it came at a pretty good price. well below stone. but i do know that it's not for everyone.
Here is our kitchen... https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...8&d=1361522002

Do you have an idea how much it cost? We weren't going to go for stone - gosh I would want to enjoy it if I did!

it was still exxy...in that I didnt realise how much benches cost lol. it was $2200. BUT it has to be taken into consideration that it includes the sink (made into the bench itself) AND the splashbacks(oh and that included the install too)
...i had NO idea how much splashbacks cost either! i was horrified lol...hence our decision for stainless steel. that and it is super awesome as you can put your super hot pots etc right on it without fear of damage...especially handy in a small kitchen that doesnt have stacks of space.
Just wish i had of gone a custom kitchen along with my custom benches
the other thing that irked me with freedom kitchens was that they were super pushy in having us use their contractors to do the install and demolishing of the old kitchen...for a hefty sum! i refused and had to sign a waiver...

Just popping in to say I love the stainless steel Cassius! We were going to put in stone to match our bathrooms but your bench looks fantastic!

Love your kitchen Cassius! I love the handle-free finish too. Our kitchen is smaller than yours and the freedom designer said a minimum of 13k just to get basic finishes. I smell a dodgy designer!
I am going to hold off for a bit and see what other quotes I can get. Our hot water service died today too, so the budget is now closer to 8.5k
