ᐅ Excessive Costs for the Kitchen?!

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.

The only thing I noticed is the relatively large line spacing, @Steffi33… that should be about 160 cm (63 inches), right?

Exactly! 160 cm (63 inches)… The gap could actually have been a bit smaller. But when there are many family members, it works well.

…I have to disagree about the height of the pull-outs; other manufacturers (especially with 6 levels) can do the same or better. I don’t want to know how much empty space you store or what is stacked way down at the bottom…

Of course, I found something too. The other offers I requested simply didn’t have that. I just wanted to point out what little things you should pay attention to, for example if you don’t have upper cabinets.

…and we definitely didn’t want to increase the price, so no dozens of drawers or the opposite… no mega drawers like that…

Open kitchen drawer with light blue striped coffee mugs, capsules next to them, coffee machine above.

6-grid, 1 drawer. My mugs fit in here too; my husband's mugs are taller and are stored in the lower 2-drawer pull-out.
