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

That's exactly it. Why do otherwise intelligent people fall for it?

They’re exposing the tricks used by kitchen salespeople..

What’s especially interesting here is the “block billing”
That’s where discounts of up to 60% come from

I missed the show—what was the block billing about?

Kitchen prices are like house prices, like car prices. Everything serves its purpose, quality comes at a price, and those willing to spend more get better performance or nice features.

In our case, the first "kitchen sellers" at the larger regional furniture stores quoted high prices: nothing below 50,000 (around 27,000 pounds/dollars/euros), then suddenly they said it would have to be at least 30,000 (around 16,000). We went through the usual discount routines like "special sale" with 50% off and so on.

We eventually bought our kitchen from a small kitchen retailer in the district, a family business. The kitchen is sold under the name "Liva Kitchens," but manufactured by "Ballerina Kitchens." It features deep drawers, 7-layer lacquered fronts, a Homeier Downair with an induction cooktop, Miele appliances, and a side-by-side refrigerator for 16,000 (around 8,600), which was a good price (including installation, etc.).

Comparing helps, and honest sellers!
