Kitchen-in-a-Box

Yes, you can buy a complete kitchen-in-a-box.  For just under five grand, all you have to do is supply your credit card number and an address, and a few weeks later you've got a fully assembled kitchen on your front lawn.

And best of all, it comes from the company that supplied Coyote with all of his Roadrunner-killing implements:  Acme.

Really.  Their name is Acme.

My imagination runs wild.  Acme's truck rumbles up.  A crane lifts out a giant cardboard box.  You open it:  there is a fully-assembled kitchenette and all you have to do is snap it in place, like a giant circuit breaker or something.

I'm sure the reality is quite different.  Their cryptic website doesn't say much (want a RES model? a ROE model?  what does any of that mean?), but I'm sure that you get it delivered as separate components:  here's the fridge, here's the sink, here's the hood.  After about 75 boxes have piled up, you've got a kitchen.

It's no different than if you bought the separate pieces at Home Depot.  Only difference is that they make the choices for you.  If I had a lot of free time to burn, I'd love to sit down and price out the pieces separately.

It's hard to imagine anyone installing an ACME kitchenette in anything but an office or a very small condo or apartment--but you never know.
