Hello everyone,
As we are currently looking into buying a kitchen, we are interested in the fairness of the asking prices. Our experience so far has been that price reductions of 25-50% off the initial prices have sometimes been offered.
To get a better idea of what constitutes a reasonable price for a kitchen, rather than focusing on "how much of a discount can I negotiate," I would like to see a list of your kitchen purchases:
Manufacturer:
Kitchen studio:
Initial price:
Final price:
I hope this discussion will help readers by sharing real experiences, leading to a fair interaction at the kitchen showroom, without either party feeling like they have been taken advantage of.
Best regards,
Sascha aus H

I have learned that kitchen prices range from around 4,000 EUR up to about 400,000 EUR (for single-family homes). Luxury kitchens usually start at around 80,000 EUR and can go up to 200,000 EUR, with some outliers above that. There are certainly noticeable and tangible differences and details, but that’s not important here. Ultimately, it’s a matter of “target costing,” meaning that, based on a set budget, I determine what each trade or built-in element is allowed to cost. The minimum requirement is that it must be functional. Whether a 4,000 EUR kitchen performs 90% as well as one costing 20,000/40,000/80,000/100,000 EUR depends on individual needs and evaluations.
For me personally, a custom-made kitchen by a cabinetmaker is worlds apart from industrially produced chipboard products. The only question is whether it’s worth it to you. Oh, you’d better go to a cabinetmaker and get explained what kind of kitchen they will make for you and at what price. The image of the traditional master cabinetmaker is very different today from what cabinetmakers actually sell; but that doesn’t mean it’s worse.

oh da geh du mal lieber zum Schreiner und lass dich aufklären, aus was er Dir für welches Geld eine Küche schustert. Das Bild vom Schreinermeister Eder ist heute weit entfernt von dem was der Schreiner verkauft; was nicht heißt, dass es schlechter ist.We have already been to the carpenter, and we were almost speechless at what they do (referring here to carpentry companies specializing in kitchens)... they work worldwide because their quality is highly valued even abroad. But unfortunately, that quality comes at a price.

The kitchen for €4000 plus installation is probably about 90% as good as the kitchen for €20,000. Of course, with the more expensive appliances you get better performance or quality, but those can be replaced later. The kitchen cabinet carcasses themselves, etc., are almost identical, I would be cautious about that. It's not always just four panels, a door, and a countertop. Especially the quality of drawers with their various inserts and space optimization systems, as well as their durability, can, in my opinion, vary significantly.
If you want a Bora or something similar, the first €2,500 are already gone. If you also want a decent countertop (stone, ceramic, etc.), that’s another €3,000+ spent. So the €4,000 budget is already far exceeded.
If you want good quality drawers, you have to leave behind IKEA quality (which is certainly okay, but nothing more) and choose a different manufacturer. If you want a custom layout for the cabinets, IKEA doesn’t offer much either, since they are limited to a few standard sizes.
If you have an open kitchen and want quiet appliances, a €300 refrigerator is no longer an option, let alone a €300 dishwasher.
I’m not saying... oh, a house for €150,000 is the same as a house for €800,000. They all have four walls. Strange argument.
