Hello everyone,

we are currently in the consultation and quotation process with Kuechenheld.

Has anyone here had any experience with an online-only kitchen studio?

How does the price level compare to a traditional kitchen showroom? How satisfied were you with the consultation, handling, and implementation?

I can clarify the comparison a bit(!):

Local kitchen showroom:
Xeno (Nobilia) with maxi cabinet carcass, same stone countertop, same handle style, same layout, Bora Pure X --> 23 k

Now, the cabinets at the online studio with Häcker might have been higher quality, and lighting would have been included, but I still wanted to stick with the local showroom... And hopefully, next year we’ll have a great kitchen 😀

Häcker Systemat or Classic?

Oh, sorry. You already mentioned earlier that it was a Systemat.

In my opinion, Nobilia Xeno is only somewhat comparable to Häcker Systemat in terms of quality. We had both manufacturers/series offered by an owner-operated local kitchen studio. The difference in furniture cost was about 1,500 euros (around 1,620 US dollars). In my view, Häcker is worth the extra price.

The offer from Küchenhelden for the Häcker Systemat is 2,500 euros (about 2,700 US dollars) cheaper than the local kitchen studio’s quote.

As it looks now, we will probably buy the kitchen from Küchenhelden.

Thank you!
Our floor plan already shows that we could definitely use more storage space 🙂

The budget is around 20,000 euros; however, this includes a laminated oak-look countertop. A kitchen showroom offered us the kitchen last year for 17,500 euros.


Expensive pleasure 🙂 After visiting 5 kitchen showrooms, we decided on a custom kitchen from a Polish kitchen manufacturer/furniture maker. Approximately 12–13 linear meters (39–43 feet) with a quartz countertop and lots of extras (without appliances) will cost 14,000 euros (including installation, travel, possible overnight stay, plus one trip for measuring). With appliances, mostly Bosch (steam oven, induction cooktop with downdraft extractor (recirculation), side-by-side fridge freezer (LG), Bosch Series 4 dishwasher, Bosch built-in coffee machine), the total comes to about 20,000 euros.

Häcker Systemat including ceramic countertop for 11.5 linear meters (lfm) of kitchen (including 2.4 m (7 ft 10 in) tall cabinets and 2.2 m (7 ft 3 in) wall cabinets), all with internal pull-outs and inner drawers, costs €16,900. So not that far off from the Polish kitchen manufacturer.

Ceramic is certainly a bit more expensive than quartz as well.

Good price, no doubt :-) We didn’t get this offer. For furniture alone, all five kitchen studios wanted at least 20,000 EUR. And the contents weren’t as good as they are now.

It’s still very general 😉 … You can only really compare designs in detail (cabinet height, module divisions, drawer layout, side panel design, etc.), so just quoting a "number" of meters doesn’t mean much 😉.
