Hello everyone,
I would quickly need your assessment on whether the price is reasonable.
The kitchen, including stove, microwave, oven, dishwasher, and sink, is supposed to cost €11,850.
What is not included are the refrigerator, backsplash, and faucet.
Lowest online prices for the appliances compared to the kitchen studio:
- Stove €1,800. Studio price €2,050 including installation = okay
- Dishwasher €560. Studio price €565 including installation = okay
- Oven + microwave €1,120. Studio price €1,200 including installation
- Sink studio price estimated €500-600, since it is a ceramic sink
Total cost for appliances = €4,320-4,420 without refrigerator, backsplash, and faucet.
So my problem is not the electrical appliances.
Therefore, the pure kitchen furniture is supposed to cost about €7,600.
- Brand: Bauformat
- High-gloss lacquered fronts
- Worktop laminate with thick edging
- The island is 2.50 m x 1 m (8.2 ft x 3.3 ft)
- The kitchen run is 3.20 m (10.5 ft)
- High cabinet 1 m x 46 cm (3.3 ft x 18 in)
Attached are the pictures. Are the €7,600 for the kitchen furniture justified?
It’s a small kitchen studio with very good advice.

But I see so many YouTubers revealing their prices and getting so much more kitchen for the money.

Then there would be no,
- Built-in microwave - €300
- Convection oven - €1500 because a ceramic cooktop was desired
- So only a standard oven - €200
- Side-by-side refrigerator - €1500 You should reconsider the built-in microwave and the side-by-side refrigerator.
Built-in microwaves are extremely expensive (also for replacement later if they break) and not necessarily attractive.
A regular microwave behind a lift-up door is cheaper and, above all, more visually appealing.
Many side-by-side refrigerators can’t even fit a pizza box because the freezer compartment is so narrow.
By the way, 87cm (34 inches) should only be offered if that exact height suits the buyer. That usually only applies to very small buyers. The height should of course be individually measured nowadays.
An additional note about side-by-side refrigerators: placing them directly next to a wall is generally not a good idea, as the doors usually need to be opened at an angle of up to 135° in order to remove drawers or other components for cleaning. It’s worthwhile to check this carefully for the specific models you are considering.

and often require some space from the wall. In general, always refer to the installation instructions of the appliances. Also, any kind of freestanding refrigerator, meaning not built into a cabinet, is usually not well placed directly next to a wall or there should be a small gap between the unit and the wall. This also applies to many standard 60cm (24 inches) wide refrigerators, which need some distance from the wall due to the handle alone.
Hello
Don’t let anyone talk you out of getting a side-by-side refrigerator.
If you really want one, just design the kitchen around it.
What’s the issue with the pizza box not fitting? Our family has had side-by-side refrigerators for years, and a pizza box always fits inside.
Just because many people don’t know how to use this type of fridge and have no real experience with it, doesn’t mean they should discourage others.
We now have a French door in our new kitchen, and it’s absolutely fantastic.
Best regards
