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.

Guys, guys...
A 92 cm (36 inch) worktop height can be achieved with a 72 cm (28 inch) high cabinet with 5 drawer heights, or with a 78 to 80 cm (31 to 32 inch) high cabinet with 6 to 8 drawer heights (IKEA). Basically, there is always a price difference... the more drawers and compartments you have, the more expensive it gets.
IKEA kitchens can also be built higher than 92 cm (36 inch) worktop height; you just need to buy taller legs from hardware suppliers and cut the toe kicks yourself from side panels.
@Zaba12 ... regarding the kitchen layout, I would swap the oven and the side-by-side refrigerator if possible. As it is, the fridge door always opens toward the wall, and you have to place items around the door on the countertop.
For the base cabinets of the kitchen island with drawers, I would prefer either 3 drawers of equal height or 2 drawers and 2 compartments. Make a storage planning because nobody really has as many tall items as you have tall drawers. Otherwise, things just end up stacked inside the drawers again.
Also, I would consider removing the tall cabinet with the ovens from the sink wall completely. Instead, opt for 60 cm (24 inch) deep tall units with the two appliances side by side, and below each one a hinged door with internal pull-outs. Whether this works out, however, cannot be determined without a floor plan.
Personally, I would do many things quite differently—for example, the raised counter limits the island’s usability to only one side. And some general thoughts I have about kitchens in general.

our countertop is now 98cm (39 inches)...
I really like it, finally I can chop and so on without hurting my back. Stirring in a pot for longer periods will be interesting though Gives your arm some muscles, which is good The really stirring-intensive tasks mostly happen in a frying pan anyway I can have at least 95cm (37 inches), preferably 97cm (38 inches), if it were up to me. My husband wants a maximum of 95cm (37 inches), even though he is almost 10cm (4 inches) taller than me.
By the way, in an Ikea kitchen, adjusting the height seems much easier compared to the dishwasher issue…
@Kekse ... you’re right about the dishwasher. The best option is probably an IKEA design with a raised dishwasher. And how to incorporate a raised dishwasher in an IKEA kitchen.
And countertop height is really a personal preference; there are people who are 155 cm (5 feet 1 inch) tall who prefer a 95 cm (37 inches) countertop height and work well with it, and others who are 175 cm (5 feet 9 inches) tall who find 91 cm (36 inches) just right. Our advice is always to try it out personally.

I don’t want a raised dishwasher. I’m making peace with a “fully integrated without Time Light” model and will go with a Miele, as that seems the easiest option, and having the salt container in the door is pretty cool anyway. But I would have really liked some kind of remaining cycle time display. Still, not enough to spend over 2,000 for the dishwasher.
