Handleless white gloss kitchen

Hi
Has anybody got any experience with the Appleby White units from b&q?
We are looking to purchase handleless white gloss units for our new kitchen and have had quotes from Wrens, Howdens, MagnetTrade and b&q.
B&Q have come out the cheapest, but was wondering whether they are as good as the others. It is part of their Cooke & Lewis range but in their showrooms their soft close mechanism didn't seem very good. They blamed it on wear and tear and said they have recently upgraded their soft close hinges but didn't have any in the showroom.
If anyone could give any advice I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks

Don't rush into any decision check the quality of the doors. Are they foil wrapped or lacquered. Lacquered is far better IMO. Also the July sales are about to begin which means silly season for most of the big retailers. They will all be fighting for your business and will generally match each others prices, which means don't be tempted with the cheapest. I work for a big kitchen retailer my advice would be go with the consultant/company who actually listens to what u want in your kitchen and puts thought into the design and how it will work best for u and your family. One final thing great sales people are usually the worst when it comes to planning accuracy and getting everything right ask them who checks there plans before they are ordered, I will always introduce my admin team to my customers. Also make sure u double check all of the appliances, sink tap etc is correct at the time of order and that the consultant takes the time to run all this info past u at the point of payment. It takes about 15 mins to go over all of the design checks, if u walk away unsure about what you ordered it usually ends in tears0
