My sister recommended purchasing a kitchen display from home depot to cut costs on my remodel. Has anyone had experience doing this, and how do I go about doing it?

You’ll need to talk with the department manager and ask when they will be changing their floor models and when they will be available for purchase. Also, be sure that they will still carry a warranty.
Good luck on the remodel.

I would inspect all the items closely for damage. So many people abuse store fixtures, that you might have a lot of nicks and scratches, especially where the carts could slam into them.
Sometimes the small damages can be fixed, and cause the price to be even lower for you to obtain. Again, it depends on the quality because some woods are really cheap laminates, that don’t repair well. If it’s real wood, you should be able to re-stain or fix easy enough.
Sizing might be an issue too. You might get too much or too little for what you’re kitchen has. It would be surprising if you could go home and tack it up 100% the way it was at the store.
You may also have issues knocking out what you do have. It’s said that it is always easier to rebuild brand new, than to have to make something fit in an existing area.
