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

I find the entire layout very impractical.
Standing in front of the stove blocks the door, the sink should be mirrored for right-handed users and positioned centered under the window from an aesthetic point of view. Additionally, there should be more counter space to the right of the sink for dirty dishes.
If you already have the option, arrange the stove and sink at an angle to create an ergonomic work triangle.
Tall cabinets should frame the kitchen, not divide it.
The room should also provide enough space to avoid expensive and outdated corner cabinets. I can draw something up if you like.

toxicmolotof6 Dec 2017 11:23The layout doesn’t work at all. It’s neither practical nor functional, and having 3 separate work zones... Two of them will eventually end up being used as storage space.
I would do it very differently.
The small area in the middle with tall cabinets and the oven, microwave, and similar appliances. Opposite that (so far from the living room) possibly more tall cabinets for storage. Then a long L-shaped countertop with the main work area, sink, and cooktop arranged as you prefer. For example, the cooktop could go in the corner with the sink to the left of it.

I would move the stove further to the right, closer to the window. Having at least pot-sized counter space on both sides of the stove is simply very practical. Thanks to induction cooking, a pot resting area might actually be unnecessary, but I will check with the cook on that.

Also, the room should have enough space to avoid using expensive and outdated corner cabinets. I can sketch something for you if you like. I’ll respond to the points:
1. Door blocking: That door only leads to the utility room. There is the freezer right there, which is very practical for cooking (parsley, for example).
2. Sink: It will be a double sink, meaning the faucet sits between two basins. So it doesn’t really matter where the draining board is (if that’s what you meant).
3. Dirty dishes go into the dishwasher, which is just elevated to the right of the sink. So usually, you’d only place a few dishes there momentarily while opening it. It’s possible that something large might be placed there, which could get in the way—I’ll clarify that.
4. Work triangle: The idea behind the layout is that the cook can work undisturbed in the back left, while dishware, cutlery, etc., can be brought in and out on the right side. This is very important to us.
5. The half-height cabinets are necessary because we want to install the dishwasher and oven at waist height. We actually like the traditional corner cabinets and want to keep them if at all possible. The kitchen does have enough space for this.

3! Work zones... two will eventually become just storage space. Chopping happens between the sink and stove, plating is done on the right, and next to the fridge there is storage space for appliances and breakfast/coffee. It should actually work.

Then a long L-shape with workspace, sink, and stove as you prefer. Stove, for example, in the corner, sink right next to it. We considered that, but it contradicts the idea that someone is constantly moving behind and next to the cook to set and clear the table. I’ll discuss this again.
Basically, we are satisfied with the design; the main question is whether the price is right.

because of the price, nothing else. still need to check 1-2 more studios.
Even the Alno hopps won’t make it any better I don’t quite understand, what do you mean by that? Do you think the price is too high?
