[quote][i]Originally posted by Graham88[/i] So I just bought a house and the issue we have at the moment is that we either need to buy appliances (oven, hob, washing machine, dishwasher) or we need a new kitchen and just do it all at once. The kitchen is in a worse condition than I thought on closer inspection and it will need done in the near future at least if it wasn't to get done now. So I decided to get some prices and I think because it's not something I had expected to do I've been a bit shocked with how much it's going to cost! So I wanted some 2nd opinions from you guys who have had kitchens done on whether I'm being blind to the realistic cost or if it can be done cheaper (without getting a cheap kitchen that's going too fall apart) This is what I have currently. The fridge door is exposed as the doors were simply bolted to the fridge doors in the bodgiest way ever and didn't shut the fridge properly so I took it off. The fridge freezer are just normal appliances boxed into a cupboard. Not what I would call integrated!

We specced it with Zanussi slimline dishwasher, Zanussi washing machine, double oven, hob, extractor hood, fridge freezer, 1 & 1/2 sink, the corner cupboards have the cages that come out with the doors, 900mm pot drawers, all draws & doors soft closing. Gloss cream fronts, solid walnut worktop. It came to 9k lol. He discounted it too 6k as I know him but that is literally 3 times what I was expecting. Clearly I am being unrealistic! So we took out the cages as they were £200 a corner, dropped the appliances to Neue which is Benchmarx own brand which apparently is Zanussi just rebranded and it came out at £3950. Then apparently the doors are quite high spec so If we dropped to a Matt cream it would be £3250. It's a good kitchen that will serve us well for many years I'm just in a state of shock as it wasn't a cost I expected to incur. So I wanted some 2nd, 3rd & 4th opinions on what I've been quoted as I've seen a few nice kitchens on here so you'll all have more of an idea of real world costs than me! Sorry for the essay :D [/quote]
