Retro (60's) Metal Kitchen Cabinets - $500 (Roscommon)

[ovrphil]

Ad reads: " Every now & then I've seen CL ads searching for metal kitchen Cabinets / cupboards. Am renovating a 60's kitchen that has metal kitchen cabinets ... upper & lower. The doors look like wood - not sure if they came with the faux wood grain covering on the doors? Or someone covered with, like, contact paper? Am guessing they could be spray epoxied to update the color. Over all they are in good condition, especially given the age.

I hate to just recycle for metal if someone can use them, so I'm posting to get an idea if there's any interest. Won't have measurement w/quantity til next week, They include one corner upper and base cabinet. And a third 'over the stove/frig' cabinet not pictured her.

All for $500 & you carefully remove & transport them. An entire kitchen for only $500 obo "

Yeah, an entire kitchen for $500 <span style="text-decoration: underline;">plus</span> whatever labor it will cost you to remove them for the owner.  It looks like a fairly nice kitchen too; I doubt that whatever they replace these cabinets with will last nearly 1/4 the amount of time.

Counter top?

nothing special is it ? I thought there was a pattern on top and white on the bottom. (I'm seeing ghost boomerangs)

I think it might be the gold flecked laminate.  In that first shot with the attache case it looks like the counter top in the foreground has speckles.  That would be my guess, as it was immensely popular.
