Hello everyone,
As we are currently looking into buying a kitchen, we are interested in the fairness of the asking prices. Our experience so far has been that price reductions of 25-50% off the initial prices have sometimes been offered.
To get a better idea of what constitutes a reasonable price for a kitchen, rather than focusing on "how much of a discount can I negotiate," I would like to see a list of your kitchen purchases:
Manufacturer:
Kitchen studio:
Initial price:
Final price:
I hope this discussion will help readers by sharing real experiences, leading to a fair interaction at the kitchen showroom, without either party feeling like they have been taken advantage of.
Best regards,
Sascha aus H

Hello,
No, it’s not silly at all, it’s actually a design guideline for workspaces. And it makes sense if you stand there for 8 hours straight.
I made the mistake myself of buying a desk with a glass top for home.
It looks nice, but it’s terrible: without a long-sleeve sweater, you can’t sit and type on it without your forearms getting cold.
The gentleman enjoys and keeps quiet... D
Best regards,
Andreas

Steffen8014 Mar 2017 15:59Seriously: Who in their right mind rests their forearms on the work surface while working? Such nonsense... the argument is and remains ridiculous!

I don’t know how tall you are or how you sit at your desk…
Of course, if you’re barely taller than a dachshund and can just barely see over the edge of the table, then you don’t have that problem…
@Steffan and @Deliverer
No one ever said granite countertops are "not allowed." I just find it funny that when designing professional workspaces, I avoid exactly the things that people spend a lot of money on in kitchens.
Personally, I really don’t like the feel of stone surfaces, and the look always reminds me of tombstones.
But everyone is free to do as they wish—that’s what living in a free country is about.
Best regards,
Andreas

Caspar202014 Mar 2017 16:21Our son spends quite a bit of time sitting on the kitchen countertops.
At least I rest my hands on the countertop.
But I never have to worry about countertop upgrade costs of 5000 EUR.
