Best place to buy a good kitchen

Zelda247 · 17-10-2017 05:53PM #1

Any ideas? it is for a house in Dublin... Would like to get a good one, maybe pure wood.

We literally just completed the kitchen in our new house. We went with Tierney kitchens and found them fantastic from start to finish.

We got our kitchen done by Christoff. Can't recommend them enough!

How big? Have you floor plans?

Zelda247 · 09-11-2017 09:54AM

its only a small kitchen for an ex corporation house, we want a decent new one though, something that will last.

Completely, Alan is fantastic, my dad has used them for donkeys years.

They re did my aunts house which was a former corpo house with a tiny kitchen in it and they made use of every space available.

Our kitchen is about 11 years old now and it's still perfect.

Thanks, are they very expensive?

To be honest, it really depends on what you're looking for, I think they have a showroom out near Sandyford, or you could contact them for a quote.

Their main showroom is near Dundalk though, well worth a visit.

They wont be "cheap", but nobody will if you are looking for a solid wood kitchen.

As Ace said they have a showroom in Sandyford and Outside Dundalk, their main base of operations.

Sure go in get a quote off a couple of place see different designs from different companies

Avoid Tierney's like the plague. Awful post sale customer service. Once they have your cash, they don't want to know. Speaking from on going experience.

Zelda247 · 09-11-2017 10:53AM

someone else said the same about Tierney's.... just wondered though a sort of ball park figure, would it be like 10k?

Wesser · 09-11-2017 10:58AM

Depends what you want!!!!!

Artdeco30 · 13-11-2017 05:05PM

We found Kube in Sandyford great - they do fairly plain, modern kitchens but we felt we got a lot for 11k (huge island with cupboards each side, wall of cupboards, all appliances)

Zelda247 · 31-05-2018 08:22AM

Anyone used Cash & Carry Kitchens

k123456 · 05-06-2018 11:48AM

I used ecointeriors SAntry

They use the same units as Kube, which I think are called Nobilia. Less expensive than Cube and well fitted

I had exactly the same experience. They're dreadful.

I have one in for over 10 years. As good as the day it went in, despite hourly slamming of cupboards by 2 'starving' teenage lads hunting for food

THE PANELLING CENTRE, SANTRY.

Good to see they've changed their tune out there. LOL

The work was fine but after the sale is signed up they had no concept of keeping a customer happy. How they expect this leads to customer loyalty or repeat business in a competative market place is beyond me.

I know someone who knows someone who was extremely happy with IKEA.

Don't know if that's a solid enough recommendation!

Good enough for me! Have booked kitchen design appointment in Ikea Belfast for Saturday (Dublin booked up).

I put in an IKEA kitchen last year. Delighted with it and no issues at all so far!

Our kitchen is average and not regular,if you know what I mean. Will that be a bit of a problem for an IKEA kitchen?Thought I read that they supply standard units that can be adapted,but if a kitchen is slightly different from the norm,this can be tricky...Maybe you can advise me on that??!

I have been looking about for a kitchen and went in to them.

The depth of a standard kitchen worktop is 600mm.

The depth of an ikea worktop is 635mm so this extra 35mm meant that it could not fit into a tight corner in my kitchen.
Thats all I know about them.

I would say definitely make an appointment with their (IKEA) kitchen guys. They'll be able to sort it out for you I'd say, I found them very good. To answer your question, yes, they do have standard sizes but there's so many options you could probably figure something out. We also used the online configuration tool they have before we met them and it gave us a good idea of prices beforehand and was a good visual to have.

Went to Ikea Belfast kitchen design section today. Girl was really helpful and we got a good hard copy of our plans. Was a bit surprised at the high price.... And that's without delivery and installation which they don't do "down south".
So we'll take those plans around a few places and see what they can do. I hear Cash & Carry Kitchens are quite good.

SteM · 09-06-2018 10:54PM

We've been looking into this recently and a neighbour and colleague both recommended Kitchen World out in Walkinstown. We're going to give them a visit.

I had a kitchen done recently. Was planning to use Ikea as I was conscious of my budget and didn't want to make a fool of myself by going to kitchen companies and asking for quotes knowing I'd never be able to afford them. At least with Ikea, you can see in advance exactly what it's gonna cost and there's not gonna be anyone standing there in the kitchen mid-install hitting you with extra fees.

Builder that was doing my extension arranged a chap to call out to just throw a price at it and a rough layout, and I went with him. His work was really good and I found his price reasonable (though I have to admit, I did not shop around, so he could just be the same as everyone else).

It was http://boylekitchens.com/ that I used. Jason was the chap's name.

It is worth asking Ikea if there is anything they can do to reduce the price. I told them I had a particular budget one time and they went around the design, took out bits and pieces like internal drawers and the like and knocked 200 euros off the price.
