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,

I remember sayings like: "If you find the same offer cheaper elsewhere, we will match it or even go lower."
I would have liked to point that out to the "outlier" in this case.

I would have loved to confront the "outlier" with that.

The problem is that, without an existing bill of materials, you have no proof that you are getting exactly the same product.

Yes, that’s why you don’t get it, because of the comparability.

I received a detailed parts list along with the quote for my studio. Electrical appliances were also listed separately as individual items.

I can well imagine that the lack of price transparency and the questionable discounts in the furniture industry often cause frustration. Many people still fall for slogans and special offers, though.

Ultimately, the budget, personal expectations, and how the kitchen is used make the difference. Some families need the refrigerator for drinks, a microwave, a coffee machine, and a dishwasher. The rest is just decoration. Others cook fresh meals every day, occasionally prepare multi-course menus, and also make use of the harvest from their garden.

Nonsense. A kitchen is a necessary burden. And this kind of package deal pricing and discounts for the boss, dog, or cat have been around for 15 years already. Nothing has changed.
