These are a great find for anyone working on their kitchen, and who needs corner cubbies. For me to re-make mine in glass cost, like, $650 plus labor.

How is this one, Retro Renovation readers? I recently scored a full box of est. 1960-65 era GE Textolite laminate samples, absolute mint condition unused.

Meanwhile, I wanted to put them out there, because I know that many Retro Renovators have been left kind of up a creek since Formica discontinued [...]
I have been working on retro laminates lately – and originally thought there were only these big five: Wilsonart, Formica, Pionite, Nevamar and Arborite.

Hello,
I am interested in these corner cabinets. How muchare they? What state are they in? Thank you, Amy.
