Gloss Acrylic Kitchen Doors or silk finish

Hi all

Not sure if I am posting in the right thread - first ever post, just joined recently, so hopefully won't get judged too harshly...

My partner and I are looking for a new kitchen, and have been to a few places: Magnet (because they are well advertised), Ikea (good for as a benchmark / comparison) and a couple of independent German kitchen retailers in London, one which solely retails Leicht and another solely SieMatic. Through the forum, there are many other manufacturers mentioned, and I am getting to the point of information overload.

After seeing both Leicht (and the brochures we picked up from the retailer) and SieMatic in the showrooms, we can understand and appreciate the (small?) premium these carry and are quite fond of them. Magnet, while nice, does not inspire the same sentiments. Not sure if it's psychological, we just did not feel Magnet's prices particularly justifiable when compared to the Germans.

Can someone please help us to narrow down manufacturers (budget naturally will play a big part) and potentially recommend a handful of retailers / designers which we should see to get a better idea (and quotes)? We are in NW London.

Once again, if I have posted in the wrong thread, please let me know if I should post it somewhere more relevant.

Many thanks in advance to all.

Hi and welcome to the forum, inkwest. I think you'd get a better result if you made this a new topic as more people may notice it and answer. I'm afraid that I don't have any experience of the brands you mentioned, but I believe that there are other members who do.

Best of luck in your hunt for your new kitchen. Been there, done that. It's not easy! :-)

Hi Madget, thanks for that. I will try to create a new thread for it. We are sort of bracing ourselves for an emotional roller coaster.
