Hi,

I'm looking to replace our kitchen units in the near future and have done some searches on here but not quite found what I'm after. Are there any kitchen companies that are particularly recommended on here?

I see Howdens mentioned alot so will look at their range but is there anyone else I should look at? I'm looking at cream shaker style and would love painted wood but think that may be out of my price range!

Are there any views on Second Nature or National Kitchens?

Thanks :)

    We've just used benchmarx, though it hasn't been delivered yet the prices were very good compared to wickes half price sale.
    In Progress!!!
  • Benchmarx have a cream painted oak shaker called 'Eden'......it's good value, well worth a look.

    I'd guess so from their other posts!

    Back to your OP though. Second Nature only supply doors. Some are really good quality, others are just ok. With regards to kitchen fascias, you do get what you pay for. Can't say I've ever come across National Kitchens though.

    Howdens are only accessible if you have a tradesman with an account. If you do have said tradesman though, they are well worth a look. As are Magnet Trade and (despite the blatent advertsing by bigbangman) Benchmarx...
    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

    Thankyou, we do have a builder with a Howdens account, will check out whether they also have Magent Trade and Benchmarx accounts aswell :)

    Well, if they do have accounts with the others. Use the lowest quote to play off against the others. You should be able to get the price down even further :)
