We've not got planning permission yet... but am browsing kitchens and having a think about what I like the look of. I think the Avola Driftwood kitchen is pretty, but just wondering if anyone has seen one in 'real life' rather than online, are they any good?

Thanks!

    Avola is a range from Egger. Its available as laminate and MFC (melamine faced chipboard). It is used by several manufacturers.

    Looks great but ensure that your door is Avola laminate covered chipboard and NOT made from MFC. MFC will be cheaper a no end of manufacturers pass off edged MFC as suitable for doors. Its not. Its nowhere as durable as laminate covered chipboard.

    Hmm may have to have a think about that then as the style we like is MFC. The current kitchen in our house is 23 years old, and we'd like one that lasts another 20 years if possible!
