Why Ikea? because this single cabinet...

cost more than my entire kitchen renovation combined!

I had the pleasure of going to merchant mart in chicago yesterday. the entire first floor is a big high end home furnishings show room. I saw amazing things that made my heart go pitter patter.

one of those was this cabinet:



it's a lovely appliance garage type cabinet with frost glass tambour roll up door.

the price quoted to me was $4000.

so now i seek a glass tambour door for my appliance garage that doesn't cost more than my entire ikea kitchen!

In euros it sounds a lot less, 'only' 2875, given the current exchangerate. Hope you could haggle a bit...

While it's not glass, it does have the look, and *way* cheaper.

Roll-lock transparent tambour:
Rollok Aluminum Tambour Doors

[ here's some better photos "in action" of the Rollock: Clear Slat Tambour Doors | Shelving Security Doors | Custom Tambour Doors | Filing Solutions By PROFORMA ]

Richelieu in Canada also makes translucent tambour, but they don't sell direct to the likes of us.
