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.

Once again, opinions differ.
We cut where the cooking takes place.
There is no narrower side. Both sides are the same length.
But as requested, I will keep you updated.

There aren’t 90cm (35 inches) to the right of the cooktop, are there? It looks more like 45/50cm (18/20 inches) and 30cm (12 inches).

So, it's 80 - 90 - 50 - 30. That should be enough for now.

Our kitchen:

Nolte, matte white lacquered frame, modern country style.
All panels lacquered as well.
Only Miele appliances including Miele extractor fan.

13,000 including tax and installation.

I’m always amazed at how small kitchens are planned for households of four people.
We are just two, I don’t have any unnecessary electrical appliances, I regularly declutter, there are no items like butter knives, Thermomix, or popcorn makers, and we have only six coffee mugs.
We had free walls that have now been expanded with Ikea cabinets. However, this is also because the utility room was tidied up.
And still: we have more cabinets and linear storage space than here… *amazed*

Also

My wife lives by the motto "clean living," as she always calls it.
Less is more. She even gave away the electric kettle. We have a pantry right next to the kitchen for food, canned goods, etc.
We think tall cabinets give a 90-year-old vibe. The kitchen is not large, but sufficient when I count the drawers and cabinets. Now we have a slightly larger kitchen but no pantry, and it works fine.

Yes, that’s what I mean. I live clean living too.
Including clean eating – no canned food.

Are you into the ’90s? I mean, your comment sounds a bit negative, but your kitchen is full of tall cabinets.
