I don`t like my new build kitchen, it superficially looks nice but all the appliances are a cheap package, CDO I think. I am compromising with myself, love the house, don`t like the kitchen worktop or layout but will live with it by buying top range dishwasher, fridge, freezer and washing machine. I can get a new worktop and undermount sink later, won`t cause too much mess. Hopefully the oven and hob will do for a while, while I get used to the layout.0
