ᐅ Experiences with Online Kitchen Showrooms

Hmm, I definitely prefer the top layout.

Otherwise, the prices are not fully comparable due to the different layout, different manufacturer, and no information about the fronts and interior fittings.

If kitchen offers could be compared on a completely equal basis, there wouldn’t be ongoing discussions like "Is the price for my kitchen reasonable?" This was just another personal experience and a reference point. 🙄

More affordable layout: super matte lacquer laminate, glass frames, one wooden insert in a 120cm (47 inch) drawer. Drawers everywhere except the upper half of the tall cabinets and the back of the “peninsula.”

Küchenhelden: surface not yet specified (“free cabinet selection”), up to three cutlery inserts available in various materials, non-slip mats in all drawers. As someone already mentioned, with Küchenheld, it doesn’t matter what interior you plan because pricing is calculated per meter (so 100% drawers possible).

Then I misunderstood you. To me, your post read like a price comparison between the kitchen specialists and the local studio. That is what I responded to.

The initial consultation was quite pleasant, but they were pretty ambitious with their questions.

I think they are only thriving because of Corona.

Call it a linear meter price. It’s often warned against. It’s a trade show product.

We will choose the local studio.

Good choice. Still, if I were you, I would also request the initial layout (from KüHelden) from them. It has much more balance and character 🙂

I already did 😉

I’m struggling with the layout. I don’t like the kitchen island with the cooktop. And the sink in front of the window. But maybe we’ll at least ask for an offer anyway...

It was more or less that. But with no claim to be an exact 1:1 comparison, because that is really difficult with kitchens. And I took your reply straight as an attack: “What’s the point of the comparison, totally useless, bla bla bla,” even though I only wanted to “help.”

I see…

You don’t like that either?
I actually think that looks nice.

You could redesign the kitchen island by placing the stove next to the tall cabinets instead.
Maybe move the sink slightly to the left.
I find that layout more modern. The island offers more space.
