A kitchen worth keeping,
freighted into Millicent.
The cabinetry that goes into a Millicent kitchen is the same cabinetry we put in our own installed jobs: 18mm moisture-resistant board, laser-bonded edging, Blum hardware. What differs is that your trades fit it rather than ours.
The short answer
Yes. Nothing about Millicent changes the product: 18mm moisture-resistant board, laser-bonded edging and soft-close hardware on every cabinet, cut to your drawing and freighted west via the Western and Princes highways. What changes is the freight line on the quote and who fits it, because installation outside Central Queensland is your own builder or installer rather than us.
What brief does Millicent actually set?
As the service town for the district, the housing here runs from century-old cottages to new estate builds, and almost none of it suits a catalogue cabinet width. Every run we cut is drawn to the wall it is going on. Cool, wet winters and a strong renovation market in the older timber housing stock.
What is the run to Millicent?
Your kitchen is cut in Rockhampton and freighted west via the Western and Princes highways. Flat cartons are labelled to a numbered drawing, one per cabinet where possible, with doors and fronts wrapped separately and the Blum hardware bagged against the cabinet it belongs to. Assembled orders arrive as finished boxes, doors hung and adjusted, which takes more truck space and shows as a higher freight line. Both are on the same quote so the choice is a number rather than a guess.
Who fits it in Millicent?
Your builder, carpenter or kitchen installer, plus a licensed plumber and a licensed electrician for their parts. Ask each for a licence number and check it yourself — in South Australia that is SA Consumer and Business Services. Every order ships with dimensioned service drawings showing each waste, water point and outlet, so the trades rough in to the plan rather than to a guess. Our install guide sets out the three trades and the fixed order they work in.
What happens if something arrives damaged?
Check the delivery against the numbered drawing on the day it lands in Millicent, before the truck leaves if you can. Count the cartons, look at the door and drawer fronts. If a panel is damaged or a carton is missing, photograph it and ring the studio the same day. A replacement is cut from the drawing we hold on file, so it matches the rest of the kitchen rather than being re-measured from scratch.
What if the walls in Millicent are not square?
They will not be. Almost no wall in any house is, which is why every run is drawn with scribe allowance at the ends and why we ask for wall measurements at three heights rather than one. The scribe pieces are the strips that take up the difference between a square cabinet and a wall that leans. They ship with the order, and your installer cuts them to the wall on the day.
Where should the cartons sit before the trades arrive?
Somewhere dry, flat and off a concrete slab. Packed panels are fine stored flat and stacked, and they are not fine leaning against a wall for a fortnight or sitting where a slab can wick moisture into them. A garage on timber bearers or a couple of pallets is ideal. Open the cartons and check them against the drawing when they arrive, then close them again.
Where else do you ship in the Limestone Coast?
We ship to Mount Gambier, Naracoorte, Penola, Robe, Bordertown, Port MacDonnell on the same route. The the Limestone Coast page covers the region, and South Australia covers the state.

The specification
Built for this
climate, not a catalogue.
Four real seasons means four cycles of movement a year. Over a decade that is what separates a kitchen that still closes properly from one that does not, and it is decided by the edging and the hinge, not by the door colour.
The same three questions decide any kitchen anywhere: board thickness and moisture rating, edging method, hardware brand. Ours are 18mm moisture-resistant, laser-bonded and Blum, and they are printed on every quote. How to judge a flat pack.
- 18mm moisture-resistant board
- Laser-bonded edging, no glue line
- Soft-close hinges and full-extension runners
- Cut to your drawing, not catalogue widths
- Pre-drilled and labelled per cabinet
- Fixed itemised quote, freight its own line
What goes inside it
Anyone can sell you boxes.
This is the part that takes knowing.
Carcasses and doors decide how long it lasts. The fittings decide whether you like using it — and most suppliers charge for them at the end. These are included in your Millicent kitchen, not quoted as extras once the number is agreed. That is the difference, and it is the one most suppliers will not match.
Drawer organisers
Cutlery, knives and spices in fitted trays cut to the drawer, instead of a plastic tray that slides around in it.

Frequently asked
Millicent — questions
If your question is not here, call the studio. We would rather talk it through than have you guess.
Ask us directly →Do you deliver flat pack kitchens to Millicent?
Yes. Millicent is served west via the Western and Princes highways, and freight is quoted to your postcode as its own line on the quote rather than folded into the cabinetry price.
Do you install kitchens in Millicent?
No. Our own installation team works Central Queensland only. In Millicent your builder, carpenter or kitchen installer fits it, working from the dimensioned service drawings that ship with every order. Our install guide covers the three trades and the order they work in.
Should I order flat pack or assembled to Millicent?
Both are quoted on the same drawing. Flat cartons ship for less and get through tight doorways; assembled arrives with carcasses built and doors adjusted so your installer is fitting rather than building. Over this distance most the Limestone Coast orders go flat.
Who can do the plumbing and electrical in Millicent?
A licensed plumber and a licensed electrician, and you should check both licences yourself before they start. In South Australia, SA Consumer and Business Services is the register to check against.
What board and hardware do you use?
18mm moisture-resistant board, laser-bonded edging and soft-close hinges and full-extension runners on every cabinet, in every state, with the hardware brand named on your quote. The specification is printed on your quote so you can hold it against anything else you are offered.
How long will a Millicent order take?
It depends on the kitchen and the freight route, so it is stated on your quote for your job rather than guessed here. What you can plan around is the sequence: drawing, your sign-off, cutting, then freight.
Can I add pull-downs and organisers to a Millicent kitchen?
Yes, and they are quoted per item rather than bundled into a package you did not ask for. Pull-down wall baskets, magic corners, tall larder pull-outs and drawer organisers can all go into a Millicent order. If you order delivered assembled they are fitted before it ships; flat packed, they arrive with the cabinet they belong to.
Delivered assembled
The assembly is done
before it arrives.
Carcasses built square on a bench, Blum hardware fitted, doors hung and adjusted to even gaps. On site you are fixing finished cabinets to a wall, not building them on the floor. Your builder or installer levels it, fixes it and fits the benchtop, working from our drawings. Prefer to build it yourself? The same kitchen ships flat pack.
