We are currently looking for a kitchen for our new build, which is scheduled to start in 2021. Nothing extravagant. Our first two visits to kitchen showrooms resulted in prices of at least 15,000 euros (around $16,000 USD), plus the side-by-side refrigerator that we plan to buy ourselves.
We are a bit surprised that for just a few pieces of furniture and three appliances (dishwasher, cooktop with fan, oven) we have to pay at least 15,000 euros. The consultants actually expected around 20,000 euros. The countertop is not even ceramic but rather granite.
Are there other options to purchase an affordable kitchen?
Please don’t get me wrong. We could afford such a kitchen. We just don’t see why we should spend 20,000 euros on a few furniture pieces and appliances.

Thank you, and if you want to get suggestions, you are seen as unpatriotic. The world does not revolve around Germany, and Germany became wealthy because of the global market. You have absolutely misunderstood.

Yes, seriously, since you’re asking so provocatively!
Not everyone can work at export giants like the automotive, pharmaceutical, aerospace, or defense industries, etc.!
Radoslaw, from whom you bought the Czech heat pump because it’s cheaper, won’t drive a few hundred kilometers just for a sensor replacement!
There are over 2.5 million small businesses in Germany! That’s many more employees than those large German corporations have.
That should answer your question...
I don’t understand your question about who you’re paying the pension for... Come on, take off the blinders. This is about the kitchen. As I already mentioned (please follow the order: read, think, write), about 450,000 euros (approximately 450,000 dollars) go to a local company. Only the kitchen might POSSIBLY be sourced from Poland...

You clearly didn’t understand anything.That it comes from you is obvious. Maybe 3% of the total house costs are going to Poland, and people are upset about that here?

Alessandro26 Oct 2020 10:35Oh God... you’re really naive!
In Germany, around 350,000 (ONLY) single-family houses were built this year. Industrial buildings excluded! You can do the math yourself for the 3% you keep mentioning that supposedly doesn’t contribute to the German economy...
Think carefully before you discredit others here and make them look stupid!

Alessandro26 Oct 2020 10:37Your attitude is similar to that of many welfare recipients:
Whether I go to work or not doesn’t really matter. There are plenty of others who will work anyway. What difference would it make if I did?

And no, no one is upset. Where you decide to spend your money is entirely your own business. The point was that you don’t seem to understand what several people here were trying to tell you. I still assume it’s because you’re personally triggered. No one wanted to discredit Poland; it was about something completely different. And by the way, it has absolutely nothing to do with patriotism.
