Hello,

We are currently planning our kitchen.

Since it’s a big and unclear jungle and it’s hard to compare everything, I wanted to ask for your help.

We believe that when you go to a showroom and don’t exactly know what you want or need, you might end up paying too much.

I wanted to ask which kitchen brands are good in terms of quality and durability, without being excessively overpriced.

We basically want a mid-range kitchen for our house.

Kitchen cabinets: Nobilia or Nolte kitchens (please suggest other good brands that meet our criteria).

Kitchen appliances: Neff, Bosch, Siemens, or which appliance brands would you recommend? The appliances should have good functions and offer comfort.

Sink: no idea.

I hope you can recommend good brands for cabinets, appliances, and sinks based on your own positive experiences.

Maybe there are also kitchen builders among you who can provide advice as well.

Drawers have always been less practical than pull-outs.

That’s true, but in a corner recess I really only have two proper options:
1. Dead space (possibly hard-to-reach shelves)
2. Lazy Susan
And then I prefer option number 2

or 3. corner pull-outs, if someone is into that.

Have they become that much worse?
No. Only the ones from Ikea were never good.

This only works if the base cabinets are installed around a corner (which is not the case for me) and you want to work with nearly unusable pull-outs. That’s why I didn’t mention them (I have never seen them installed in a regularly used kitchen).

You can choose whatever you want. But in most cases, it’s the less favorable option. With a dead corner, the cabinets on the right and left can be wider than with a corner solution. This means you get extra width across multiple storage levels, whereas a lazy Susan usually offers only two levels. Also, a lazy Susan is generally more expensive than wide pull-out cabinets. But everyone has their own preference. For me, it wouldn’t be an option to pay more for a less practical mechanism that provides less storage space, which is also harder to access.
