price for howdens kitchen & fitting

Just poking my nose in for second - we have just had a Howdens Greenwich which was completed a couple of weeks back.
Howdens have been bl***y AWFUL throughout the whole process so I would just say be careful and make sure you check everything as it arrives. We have lots of dented draws and doors and although they put cornices in the designs AND you can clearly see there are cornices in the new brochure they haven't supplied them - when we/our fitter enquired as to why Howdens said "the Greenwich doesn't come with cornices" - BUT THEY ARE IN DESIGNS AND IN BROCHURE?
Might be different with the Greewich Shaker but just watch out with them - I will never ever ever use Howdens again - can't even begin to list all the problems.

Most people wash and then place on their right!
In this instance though there is no worktop to the right of the sink, so where will the OP stack items? They would have to be stacked to the left of the drainer so when you wash up you will be lifting dirty items possibly with grease etc on over clean items.
I think you need a new designer or branch of Howdens. I have ni idea what they mean the by the panels not being in will improve access what a load of BS. They are priced seperatley as they on listed on the quote. They have underpriced the kitchen if you start taking off the trims they will lose all their margain and wont want to sell the kitchen.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

" They have underpriced the kitchen if you start taking off the trims they will lose all their margain and wont want to sell the kitchen."
So the price is a good price ONLY if I take off the end panels ?
A few people are saying that I would get a better kitchen at DIY kitchens and I'm thinking this might be the best route now but unsure how to find / how much it would be to have it fitted ?
Thanks0 -

So the price is a good price ONLY if I take off the end panels ? I DONT THINK THE PRICE OVERALL IS A BAD ONE BUT I THINK IT COULD BE EVEN BETTER IF YOU FIND A WAY TO LOSE THE END PANELS.

YOU WILL GET A BETTER KITCHEN FOR SURE BUT IT WILL PROBABLY BE MORE EXPENSIVE BUT WILL BE BETTER CONSTRUCTION. THE GREENWICH IS ONLY A CHIPBOARD DOOR SO THE CHEAPEST YOU CAN BUY. THE CARCASS WILL BE COLOUR MATCHED AS WELL REMOVING THE NEED FOR MOST OF THE END PANELS
