    Does anybody know of any companies that sell kitchens for self-installation? Dublin/Meath/Louth/Kildare areas?

    Ikea stuff is good and easily assembled, I installed some in our utility and it's really good.

    The thing with the ikea kitchens is you don't need to stick rigidly with all stuff from there. You could get your worktops/taps/appliances/handles/whatever elsewhere.
    They don't do all the frilly bits that you can get elsewhere to be fair like big thick side panels or curved doors etc. These do add a lot to the cost though.

    Does your wife have an idea of what she wants and do ye have a set budget?

    She does have a good idea and we have received 4 quotes of 10-14K for a galley kitchen with island. That doesn't include worktops nor appliances. Crazy prices.

    I second ikea. Designed to be installed by diy and very simple instructions. Corner kitchen 2.5m x 2.5m fit by myself was €2.5k for the higher end of the scale. Iv talked to kitchen Fitter's who are impressed with their quality

    I know you don't want to consider ikea but it seems perfect for your situation.

    I think I spent 6k on mine, cream units, oak worktop, a little bit bigger than paddys above, (but smaller than yours by the sounds of it) but with extra tall 8ft high cupboards, that's including all new appliances too.

    Play around with the kitchen designer software. Could see you getting something nice for under €10k all in (obv not having any clue what size the kitchen is!)

    Thst said, if she doesn't like it there's no way around it. I bribed my wife with a Belfast sink in return for less expensive doors.
