Kitchen Manufacturers Quality Help

badgerswithafros

My head's spinning trying to understand the pros and cons of different kitchen manufacturers!

We are planning a new kitchen, prepared to spend a bit of money to insure we get a good quality kitchen that will survive family life over a good number of years. We've visited numerous suppliers and narrowed down to 3/4. Looking for any advice on people's experiences of any of these kitchens.

1. Brigitte kitchens

2. Hacker Concept 130
3. Second Nature

4. Nobilia

Tbh, I think I've ruled out Hacker as it's just too expensive. My main issue is figuring out if any one kitchen is better than the other in terms of robustness, quality etc. Are the German kitchens better as alleged vs say Second Nature? What should I look out for?

Anyway, you can tell by my ramblings that I'm confused, so any help or experience welcome!!

Have you considered a local manufacturer?

We looked at German kitchens, but then went for

Who is 10 miles or so from us. When buying we had a look around the factory and discussed designs with the company owner.

This was useful as during the build I decided that I wanted a cabinet altered and a new one supplying, which was a lot easier to manage.

Price and quality were comparable with something mass produced in Dusseldorf, or wherever, especially considering the currency at the moment.

Six years ago we chose Masterclass Kitchens (based in Wales) from a local independent based in Hampshire.

We were and are very pleased.

The fitting is as important if not more important than the manufacturer so make sure that you choose a reputable local company.
