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 would NEVER spend 20k or more on a kitchen.
20k for particleboard and painted doors? NEVER!
Okay, appliances included etc... that has to be considered.I would be glad to manage with that. We have a fairly large kitchen measuring 21.4m² (230 sq ft). A kitchen island is supposed to be included.

I’d already be happy to settle for that. We have a fairly large kitchen with 21.4m² (230 sq ft). We want to install a kitchen island. That’s intense... I mean, I’ve heard the prices secondhand... But personally, I work too hard for my money to spend $20k, $30k, $40k, or $50k on a kitchen. With that amount, I could have fully paid off my land and house.
The added value just isn’t there for me.
I’m also lucky to have a cabinetmaker in the family. We buy appliances online and then build everything exactly as we want it. But even if I didn’t have family help, I wouldn’t spend $20k.
And the size of the kitchen doesn’t really matter that much. Because if it’s large (which is great), I don’t want to fill it up with furniture but rather enjoy the space.
You mustn’t stop thinking. If you do, you’ll lose money.
But again; this forum is very informative and many users are very helpful. Thanks for that!
Respect for anyone who builds their own kitchen. But even if I had the skills, would I want to do it? Could I even come close to the variety and flexibility of a professional kitchen? It’s hard for me to imagine. The many features and small details that make a kitchen beautiful and practical are difficult to replicate, right? Where would you source your favorite cabinet fronts?
I just want to say that most kitchens are simply worth their price. They often last 10 years or more with everyday use.
Of course, everyone wants to save money and get the best possible price. But the fear of being taken advantage of takes on forms I can no longer understand.
Of course, I’m not completely objective, as I have family background in this, but the whole situation is a mystery to me. Entire books have been written on this and they’re bestsellers. What do these books say? That I should buy appliances online? Our salespeople already offer that from the start. So, what else?
