Kitchen unit quality

Hi,

I'm currently trying to get a plan together for replacing my kitchen.

I'm totally bamboozled by the manufacturers and ranges out there. The current designer/fitter is trying to channel me towards Chippendale which I know nothing about.

How do they compare say against Howdens for example?

Thanks

    I believe they are the same kitchens as Sheraton, made in the UK by Omega plc. Better than Howdens? I would say so, but not massively better, so if one is much more money than the other, I would bear this in mind when deciding. If you are going down the trade rather than retail route, have a look at Benchmarx as a comparison as well.
  • Thanks for the info. No Benchmarx near me unfortunately, in West Yorkshire.

    The designer said he has accounts with pretty much any make of unit. Any you should definitely give a miss, or get the best value for pound with?

    I'll have a look at Magnet Trade too.
