I would go to either Home Depot or Lowe's so you can see what you're getting.

I order online, predominantly from Amazon and Home Depot, and occasionally Lowe's. I do however visit a local hardware store frequently...that is about the only time I actually shop.

I remodeled my kitchen a few years ago. I would not be surprised if I had 500 orders on Amazon during that time period. Hinges, screws, tools, finishes, knobs, pulls, etc.

If I had to go to the store for all of this, I would still be working on the kitchen.

I find that the detail for the items provided online is more than enough for me to make a purchase decision.

also had to do a lot of research There are still some little things that need to be finished like the backsplash, but I haven't found anything I like enough yet.

The nice thing is I have time to work on this house since we are planning on staying in this one for a while. It's our 4th house in 7 years, so with the other 3 I was always in a hurry to get things done because I knew we would be flipping them.

Good job!

The hardest part for me was starting the demo because I didn't know if I could actually do the job...I remember thinking "Oh shit, here we go".

RTA cabinets so I had to build and install them an area at a time. I think the worst part for me was cutting my countertop for the sink installation.
