Also, if you are picky. Make sure you get a "counter depth" fridge.
I had no idea what that was when i started, and I bought a standard 36" samsung fridge with lots of volume.
Turns out the fridge is huge because it stuck out from my cabinet like 10" (They got all those extra space with more depth). It looks horrible, so I got the electrolux all fridge that is the same depth as my countertop.

And FYI, these are some approximate cost for the whole kitchen:
  • Ikea Cabinet $5K
  • Quartz Countertop $5K (expensive..but I actually got a pretty good deal already, there are almost 120sqft of countertop, they had to use 3 full slab to make the countertop incl. the waterfall side on the island, the island top itself is a whole slab @ 4'x10')
  • Ikea Double oven $1.5K (lol tbh, this is more for decoration. Haven't used it once.)
  • Electrolux fridge+freezer $4K
  • Bertazzoni Cooktop $4K (definitely overpaid here, don't think it is worth the high price, i could've got a simple induction for $1.5K)
  • Costco Range Hood $250 (I got it on kijiji from some guy's truck, new but probably returned item)
  • Chinese Sink from Lowes $300
  • Chinese Faucets from HD $200
