Focus, ikea or sorrento by Rapide

I am looking for a beech/shaker kitchen. Are the plinths/cornice end panels fairly standard as the price rally varies between the three I am at the moment choosing between. Ikea is the dearest then focus then the sorrento. Does anyone have any idea which would be best or any others I should look at. Focus are doing a good deal on appliances when you buy the kitchen also. Please help.

    Hi

    the colour could vary between different suppliers, there isn't a standardized colour for beech. (I sell 4 different coloured beech kitchens).

    I'd say Ikea is better quality than the other two and the price reflects this. But obviously, go for whichever suits your budget. (Just don't get Ikea to install it)

    You could also have a look at Homebase (sometimes have good offers) and if you can, also look at Howdens, as they should be similarly priced.

    Get your appliances online (much cheaper than buying from the sheds) same goes for sink and tap...
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands
