Wollongong, delivered flat.
Specified to a standard, not a price.
Owner-builders and renovators around Wollongong already order cabinetry supply-only from interstate. Flat pack is the version that makes sense at this distance.
The short answer
We design and cut every kitchen in Rockhampton, Queensland — NSW, about 1,750 kilometres away. We do not install in Wollongong. What we do is exactly what most interstate buyers actually want: a kitchen cut to your measurements, packed flat with the hardware and a labelled drawing, and freighted to your door for you or your installer to build.
Affordable to start, not to look at
Essence, our entry collection, starts at $15,000 flat packed — 18mm moisture-resistant carcasses, laser-bonded edging and Blum soft-close hardware, the same board and hinges as our $47,000 Atelier kitchens. What changes between the collections is the finish, not the bones underneath it. If you want it to read as more than it cost, the upgrade path is short and itemised: stone benchtop, brass hardware, integrated lighting. Nothing about starting affordable means staying there.
What arrives in Wollongong
Cartons labelled to a numbered drawing, one per cabinet where possible. Doors and drawer fronts wrapped separately. Blum hinges, runners and adjustable legs bagged per cabinet. Kickboards, end panels and fillers cut to length. A dimensioned drawing with every cabinet numbered, plus the service drawing your plumber and electrician rough in from.
Why flat pack over this distance
A carton of panels travels for a fraction of what an assembled carcass costs to freight, and it survives the trip better — nothing to rack or rattle loose over about 1,750 kilometres. It is the same reason builders and owner-builders this far from any manufacturer already order cabinetry this way. Assembled is still on the quote if you would rather; you can see what the assembly is actually worth to you before you choose.
What ships with the order
A numbered plan and elevations, a service drawing marking every waste, water point and outlet for your Wollongong plumber and electrician, the hardware bagged per cabinet, kickboards and end panels cut to length, and fillers where the room needs them. Nothing on that list is an extra. The service drawing in particular is what stops a cabinet being cut on site to clear a pipe nobody planned for.
What the quote actually itemises
Every cabinet as its own line with its width and what is in it, the benchtop by material and linear metre, the hardware by brand, the doors by finish, and freight to your Wollongong postcode on a line of its own. No allowances, no provisional sums, no "from" price with the catches left out. If you take an item off, you see exactly what comes off the total, which is the point of itemising it in the first place.
What happens if something arrives damaged
Check the delivery against the numbered drawing on the day it lands in Wollongong, 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.
Freight, quoted honestly
Freight to Wollongong is quoted to your postcode on the same document as the cabinetry — its own line, not folded into the price. We would rather you see the real number than a from-price that never survives checkout. Our shipping & freight guide covers what decides that number and what to check on delivery day.

Frequently asked
Wollongong — 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 install kitchens in Wollongong?
No. Our installation team works Central Queensland, within about 150 kilometres of Rockhampton — Wollongong is about 1,750 kilometres away. What we ship is the cabinetry itself: cut to your room, packed flat with the hardware and a labelled drawing, and freighted to your door for you or your own installer to build.
How much does a flat pack kitchen cost, shipped to Wollongong?
The same bands as everywhere else: $15,000–$23,000 for Essence, $26,000–$42,000 for Maison, $47,000 and up for Atelier. We do not charge a distance premium on the cabinetry — freight is quoted separately, to your postcode.
Can I upgrade a flat pack kitchen to look more expensive than it was?
Yes — that is most of what the collections are. Every tier starts from the same 18mm moisture-resistant board and Blum hardware; stone benchtops, brass hardware and integrated lighting are upgrades you add, not a different kitchen. See flat pack kitchen upgrades for what each one changes.
How long does freight to Wollongong take?
It depends on the kitchen and the freight route, so it is stated on your quote rather than guessed here. Flat cartons move faster and cheaper than assembled carcasses over this kind of distance, which is the main reason we recommend flat pack once a job is outside Queensland.
Can I get it delivered assembled instead?
Yes, the quote shows both. Assembled cabinets take more truck space so the freight line is higher; flat pack is what most buyers this far from Rockhampton choose once they see the difference.
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. Our own team fits it in Central Queensland; your installer fits it anywhere else in Australia. Prefer to build it yourself? The same kitchen ships flat pack.
Drawer fronts aligned on the bench, not on site
Rangehood set into assembled overheads
