ᐅ Ordering a handleless kitchen involves an additional charge.

The handles (about 30 pieces) cost a fortune at the kitchen showroom. So, I asked if we could simply leave them out, including the drilling for them, hoping to save a fair amount by doing this part myself. Of course, they know that I can get the same handles online for half the price, so instead of a discount, they charge a hefty surcharge when I order without handles. I just find that outrageous and taking advantage of the situation. Well, that had to be said...

Buy the kitchen at IKEA. The rule here is: You get what you pay for.

From your perspective, the frustration is understandable, but in the production process, even omitting a hole represents a change in routine that requires additional effort.

An alternative could be to have it without handles but with the holes (which would mean, for you, having to get handles with the same hole spacing).

Especially with IKEA, I would doubt whether a special request can be accommodated – even if it’s just one involving omission.

Well... that’s also how the seller argued. Still, I’m not convinced and consider it a sales tactic.

I would have liked to choose an IKEA kitchen, but since the "Metod" system, the smallest height is 91cm (36 inches). That’s too tall for me. Please don’t try to persuade me otherwise... no means no. Also, my favorite cabinet front has been discontinued. Best regards, Steffi33.

In that case, you might consider shortening the Ikea legs and using a countertop only 2.8cm (1 inch) thick. If you don’t want to do that (which is completely fine), then you shouldn’t complain about upselling tactics at kitchen studios. That’s basically how they make their living...

Or, if skipping the drilling creates so much extra work:

Then just have them do the drilling for you—it will save you a lot of effort. According to their own argument, they shouldn’t charge extra for that.

But you will need handles with exactly the same hole spacing.

The solution: handleless kitchen. 😉
