Hoping to have pp for a kitchen extension granted by the end of this month (getting rid of crappy old lean-to outhouse converted to the coldest kitchen in the UK, knocking out dog-leg on original building and having one big full width extension open kitchen/dining/living area).
Have been to the big boys.
Magnet: saw nothing there we like – not keen on all this glossy, handleless doors)
Wren (cripes, how sales-driven are they?!) – very pushy designer, not keen on how they were operating to be honest, but some of their stuff was nice.
Ikea: Nothing there we liked either.
Seeeing Howdens later this week. (Our builder has an account with them.)
Did anyone use one of these and was there haggle-room on the initial quote?
However much we’d like to be, we’re probably not in the realms of a joiner doing bespoke handbuilt stuff for us. (Although I have a mate in that game who might help out. He’s also going to let me labour for him for a few weeks to practise fitting. )
Any tips for online sellers who didn’t let you down?
We have a “design” so kinda know what cabinets/drawers we need. Can’t stop myself from effing and jeffing “how **** much?” every time I see the price of a chipboard 600 x 600 cabinet with bloody plastic legs.
