    To be perfectly honest I have put in 5 kitchens in 5 different houses in the last 5 years , used the same capenter in all 5 kitchens but the last one was from cash & carry & all he said to me was " the next time you are buying a kitchen stay away from this one " not the same quality as the last 4 .


    It took a day longer to install ( & then pointed out out the so called short cuts ) no difference in sizes.

    I got one about 7 years ago and people say it still looks new.

    That said the quality can change over time especially in this economic climate.

    Most kitchens are 19mm chipboard, its the hinges and drawer slides that are important.

    What are peoples opinions on budget kitchens anyway ?

    I have looked at few, some were just obviously awful, like edges of display cabinets looking frayed and worn or general flimsiness . On the other hand I have seen other budget kitchens that are more or less the same as more expensive ones. In many ways they seem the exact same, the drawers front panel is real wood, and the cabinet itself is MDF. Most of the drawers seem to be made of some sort of light sheet metal.

    The only thing I can think of that makes the big cost difference would be the granite worktops, but even excluding that it feels like your being asked x2 the price for more or less the same thing.
