At Lowe’s, we offer a supply of electric benchtops and handheld planers to fit a wide range of purposes. The main duty of a planer is to shave wood to the thickness needed for a project.

Know what to expect from your designer
While it’s common for people to feel intimidated around a designer at first, it’s important to remember that their #1 priority is designing a room that you’ll love. With that in mind, here are a few basics we’ve outlined for you; including things you can prepare to ensure the first meeting is a productive one.
Designers
Lowe's offers in-house design services to help guide you through the process, or you may want to work with your own contractor or designer. Depending on the size of your project and your design needs, either scenario will help you arrive at your ideal space.
What is the Lowe's designer's role in my project?
The Lowe's designer is responsible for creating a floor plan, elevations and perspective drawings, based on a detailed understanding of your needs. They will have the cabinet knowledge to recommend door styles, wood selections, interior components and decorative trims.
How should you prepare for the first meeting?
There are several things you can do to ensure the first design meeting is a productive one. Start a folder of clippings from magazines of kitchens and details that you like. Start looking at appliances, get a feel for what you like and how much they cost — this will help to determine a budget.
Visually communicate your ideas
Even as you begin to dream about your new space, you can put together a file folder of images that reflect your lifestyle and your vision for the new space. Photos, magazine clippings, ads, articles and samples will help the designer to visualize your tastes and preferences.
Do some homework about yourself
Assessing your current kitchen over a period of time, both its positives and negatives, provides your designer with invaluable information. Likewise, making note of your habits — buying in bulk, number of weekly trips to the grocery store, recycling, avid cooking — is critical to helping them understand how you live in your kitchen.
Imagine yourself in the new space
How will you use your new kitchen? Is it a social gathering place for family and friends, or a place to prepare quick meals? Some consider themselves a gourmet in the kitchen, while others admit that takeout is more their style and they just need a good looking space to warm it up.
