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.

Yes, the countertop area isn’t ideal, but that was the maximum I could manage. I wanted to keep a 1.5m (5 feet) walkway on the second leg leading into the living room.

So now, instead of a built-in draining area, I have a mobile draining board from Franke that can be pulled out only when needed. Plus, I think the sink looks really great.

YPG, take a look at the kitchens in the show homes. Some are so small that you can only make coffee and use the microwave.

Yes, really bad.

That’s enough. Good coffee from the Jura machine, microwave, oven for pizza—what more could a man want? Women make a fuss about it, as if they all ran a rural household! Karsten

Two preparation areas and space for a child are definitely necessary, even without butchering a pig.

Besides, my grandmother would come back from the grave if I were to butcher a pig in a regular kitchen.

What are you talking about? If we were having a discussion about Jura coffee machines, you would be in favor of filter coffee. And it’s you who need a second sink in the utility room to wash potatoes and scale fish. Your words

The kitchen has always been the most important room in the house. It definitely deserves ample space.
