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.


Modern kitchen: island with cooktop, dark countertop, beige cabinets, window on the right.

Modern kitchen: stainless steel refrigerator on the left, sink in the middle, oven/microwave on the right.

Modern kitchen with island, white cabinets, dark countertop, oven and refrigerator.


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

The fridge is cool – but is there one without that annoying water dispenser?
... We have a side-by-side fridge from LG, but I don’t like it anymore. Pizza fits inside, but by now I’d prefer drawers in the freezer section, since you can pack them better without things falling out when you open the door.

Unfortunately, no. But if you are interested in seeing the fridge in person, check YouTube and search for “Siwuchins Kühlschrank.”

Okay, watched the video... sounds good, but I think it might be a bit too big for us... cooling empty space isn’t really practical either.

Is the window on the left approximately 50cm (20 inches) above the floor?



And is the wall next to the staircase only about 200cm (79 inches) long? At first glance, I would have tried to place the French door under the stairs there, but the height might be tight. Otherwise, dimensions are missing, and personally, I would once again switch the kitchen and the TV/lounge area.

No, that’s just a normal double patio door. Who would come up with such a low sill height? :-p

The stairs lead down to the basement. Without a basement, that would definitely be a really cool idea.

Others have already suggested that swap here. We ran through it. It just doesn’t feel right to us.

And doesn’t it bother you that the island is right in front of the door/window? Or does it only look that cramped from this angle?

Well, a window sill height of 50 cm (20 inches) is an ideal height for a window seat.
