ᐅ Kitchen & Budget – Quick Assessment Needed!

Hello everyone,

I would quickly need your assessment on whether the price is reasonable.

The kitchen, including stove, microwave, oven, dishwasher, and sink, is supposed to cost €11,850.

What is not included are the refrigerator, backsplash, and faucet.

Lowest online prices for the appliances compared to the kitchen studio:
- Stove €1,800. Studio price €2,050 including installation = okay
- Dishwasher €560. Studio price €565 including installation = okay
- Oven + microwave €1,120. Studio price €1,200 including installation
- Sink studio price estimated €500-600, since it is a ceramic sink

Total cost for appliances = €4,320-4,420 without refrigerator, backsplash, and faucet.

So my problem is not the electrical appliances.

Therefore, the pure kitchen furniture is supposed to cost about €7,600.

- Brand: Bauformat
- High-gloss lacquered fronts
- Worktop laminate with thick edging
- The island is 2.50 m x 1 m (8.2 ft x 3.3 ft)
- The kitchen run is 3.20 m (10.5 ft)
- High cabinet 1 m x 46 cm (3.3 ft x 18 in)

Attached are the pictures. Are the €7,600 for the kitchen furniture justified?

It’s a small kitchen studio with very good advice.

But I see so many YouTubers revealing their prices and getting so much more kitchen for the money.

Without specifying the price ranges of the materials, they vary widely. There are probably three levels of high-gloss finishes, laminate (or possibly decorative laminate) as well, and so on. Is the cabinet carcass built on a 5-module or 6-module grid? Extra side panels? Etc.

Based on what I see alone, it could be done for less than 7,600 (I assume currency), but when choosing higher quality levels, the price can rise quickly. I definitely don’t find it unusual.

By the way, the studio really put together a good package for the electrical appliances including installation, if your research is correct. It could appear to be a serious offer—or they might be cutting corners on the cabinet carcass.

Do you have no comparison offers?

If by “Wangen” you mean the side panels, they are all finished in the same color as the fronts. According to my research, the fronts are from price groups 1 to 5, and these are in price group 2. Price group 1 is matte. Price group 2 is high gloss with a single coat of lacquer.

That's right, it is visible material. The height is 92cm (36 inches).

Here are all the details again. I have researched, evaluated, and selected all the appliances.

If the furniture is solidly built, the price is reasonable. Especially since there is an additional charge for the 92cm (36 inches) countertop height...

I don’t have a comparison quote because the kitchen studio has a good reputation, and I can’t really compare apples to oranges with another kitchen studio if a different kitchen manufacturer is chosen. I’m not knowledgeable about the technology used by kitchen manufacturers.

The lady said the same. So, does that mean I can confidently place the order? I also want to get the kitchen issue settled and focus on the construction.

@Alex85 @ypg do you have any opinions?
