Hello everyone, we received a quote for a Schüller kitchen and I feel the pricing is not transparent at all.
The following appliances are included in the kitchen:
Miele built-in refrigerator K37273ID (retail price online: 1,400 €)
Siemens built-in steam oven CD834GBB1 (retail price online: 1,250 €)
Siemens built-in oven HB875G8B1 (retail price online: 1,275 €)
Miele dishwasher G 7565 (retail price online: 1,600 €)
Siemens ceramic cooktop EX807LVV5E (retail price online: 1,285 €)
Siemens warming drawer BI630DNS1 (retail price online: 400 €)
Wall-mounted exhaust hood Quasar 90 cm (retail price online: 900 €)
This brings the total appliance cost to approximately 8,100 €.
The countertop is a 20 mm (0.8 inch) natural stone slab, NERO assoluto.
The backsplash/splash guard is a decorative glass from Lechner.
The tall cabinet wall has a total width of 3,100 mm (10 ft 2 in) and the window side measures 3,560 mm (11 ft 8 in) in length.
All in all, the quoted price was 33,000 €, and after discounts, we are now at 22,800 €.
What is your assessment of this price?

nordanney9 Apr 2020 11:22Do you get such “discounts” when buying a house or at Aldi? The furniture store itself is always a total disaster in terms of pricing – completely non-transparent.
To be able to assess this, the kitchen manufacturer would be of interest. Additional information such as the series, front material, etc., is also necessary to make an evaluation here.
Judging by the look of the peninsula, is it using a 6-module system? So definitely not an entry-level manufacturer...
However, I find the price quite steep off the top of my head.

Chris25119 Apr 2020 17:08The price is about right. We also had a Schüller kitchen designed. Ours is a bit larger. Nero Assoluto is currently very popular. We ended up removing it. We can still get it in a few years if we still like the kitchen by then.
By the way, we went with a Nobilia in the end.

hampshire9 Apr 2020 21:16The price seems reasonable to me for a typical higher mid-range kitchen manufacturer. When negotiating, it is easier to get a "better appliance" than an additional cabinet. Price elasticity increases disproportionately when moving towards premium models.
We also have a white Schüller kitchen in an L-shape (approximately 3.6x3.6 m (12x12 ft)) with a freestanding cooking island (2x1 m (6.5x3.3 ft)) and 3 cm (1.2 inches) Nero Assoluto flamed and brushed countertop. We had the kitchen priced at various kitchen showrooms and at a large furniture store. The furniture store was over 6,000 euros cheaper, and the consultation was also very good. We were very satisfied.

Quite pricey – this may partly be due to the natural stone slab.
A tip: built-in Miele appliances that are not visible are not worth their price. For the refrigerator and dishwasher, I would go with AEG or a similar brand. Miele in those cases is like casting pearls before swine...
We are reconsidering the steam oven; we also got one, but it is used very, very rarely. It is too expensive just for asparagus. Everything else can probably be steamed better using alternative steam methods on the stovetop or other appliances when something else is cooking underneath.
