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

Hello,
as far as I can see, everything has already been mentioned. Kitchen prices are similar to bed or mattress prices. First, they are increased by 300%, then there are two 30% discounts, plus a toaster is thrown in...
Unfortunately, I can’t link a video here, but you can search on Google for the SternTV video from 2012. They questioned the discount campaigns. It’s called “Discount campaigns for fitted kitchens often just bait – The discount tricks of furniture retailers.”

The Ikea kitchen planner only runs smoothly in Microsoft Internet Explorer. It doesn’t work well with Chrome, for example—lags and crashes. No issues with IE.It also doesn’t work well on Safari, seems to prefer a friendly environment. It probably still needs some optimization.Regarding the stern tv film. Completely accurate. We had the same experience at Möbel Kraft. Nobilia, only today with a free dishwasher. “Manager’s discount if you decide today”… no written offer, nothing. And the highlight was that right next to our consultation table, the same kitchen—but arranged slightly differently—was priced at 2,666 (plus 1,000 for delivery and installation). We were expected to pay 6,800 for it with the manager’s discount and the free dishwasher. Both are L-shaped kitchens, double sinks, oven installed at waist height, induction cooktop, extractor hood, same fronts, same countertop. Dishwasher… totally a rip-off!
We didn’t encounter any sky-high prices. After an initial conversation that was somewhat unsatisfying, we decided to start over. This at least helped us clarify our ideas much more clearly. With these ideas in mind, we approached different suppliers and already received quite good designs at the meetings. In the end, we chose the supplier who offered many practical tips and also created the most attractive design. After receiving several offers, we also felt good about the price overall. Although it was €1000 (about $1100) more expensive than the second-best option, the kitchen from Schüller gave us a noticeably higher quality impression overall, plus a much better extractor hood.
Therefore, the requested information in the thread doesn’t necessarily make sense. You have to look for yourself and develop a sense of where the kitchen fits in terms of quality and price. Then weigh it against the final negotiated price. This way, you still won’t have a 100% market overview, but you will have an idea of whether the price is reasonable.
The IKEA planner can also help, though some of our solutions couldn’t be represented exactly with it.

From that perspective, the requested information in the thread doesn’t necessarily make sense. Well, my goal was actually to find out which providers use exorbitant prices and discounts, and who offers fair pricing. Once I know that, I will only go to the latter.
I’ve now posted my planning and requirements in the KF section; with that help, it should be easier to get a good idea. It was a great tip.
