MFI Kitchen sales - who are they?

Hello

I've had a quote from Mfi Kitchen Sales for a kitchen.

It is an excellent quote.

I asked the guy who they were. He said that they used to be called Affordable Kitchens but bought the MFI name 2 years ago and this helped them to get extra business.

I can't find any details (except a website) or any reviews for either of these companies.

Does anyone here have any knowledge of them?

    I have no idea about them, but the same phone number is on this page. Make of it what you will.

    LoL. How can the MFI name possibly increase market share. What abject nonsense. This is a sales pitch. Affordable Kitchens still got a webby although seem to be (or have) morphed into Red Berry Kitchens.

    UKCheapkitchens don't score very highly in the literacy stakes:
    spenvalley kitchen gone bust we here to clear they stock and help there customers call us for help
    The same telephone number is also shared with Kitchen Clearance Centre
    .
    I smell the distinct odour of Mr Vance Miller around the bazaars.

    Apart from that if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

    Your choice OP but if I were you I think I'd just dump your Quote in the bin or put it through the shredder.

    Cheers

    :( MFI were originally Millbrook Furnishing originating from Southampton and were originally producing not bad furniture, then they went like the SHEDS and quality also went behind the shed :(

    From what KS has said it would appear that they are NOT who they say they are and I think Barge Poles are cheap these days, but I wouldnt touch them with one :eek:

    Searching on google and then this site I found the following list of Vance Miller trading styles, we have also been on the receiving end of multiple spam from many of them so the patern would suggest a connection.

  • Dear mikeandsuzzane,
    Did you finally decide to go with mfi kitchen sale?
    We are in a similar situation to yours and are considering whether to go ahead with them or not. Their quote is unbeatable.
    If that helps, the name of the guy who gave us a quote is Wayne.

    Thanks.

    Proceed at your own risk - these are apparently just another trading identity for serial "kitchen gangster" (due to his dubious business practices and convictions) Vance Miller;
