I have bought a few kitchens from Fbook market place. As long as you have someone or can get someone who can dismantle it and put it together at your house they are a brilliant way of getting some really good kitchens very cheap.
start looking at what is available and get some idea of how may cupboards you might need.The last one we bought was brand new and had been put in a house in order to sell it. The buyer didn't like it so sold it straight on. It even had the polystyrene in the oven holding the shelves in place.This is an example of one local to me for £350Still for sale due to time wasters.
Kitchen cabinets with wooden doors, need to be cleaned (or could easily be painted / sprayed) and could probably do with handles being replaced.
Base units: 2 x 100cm corner units both with carousel pull out and drawer 40cm unit with drawer
Wall units: 2 x 80cm, 60cm and 60cm corner unit.
Integrated Beko washing machine with 1200 spin speed and integrated Neff dishwasher with door front matching other units.
I also have 2 pieces of Black granite worktop approx 150cm and 200cm long (200cm has under mounted stainless steel sink still attached), willing to add these at no extra cost if wanted.
Everything dismantled and ready to go, buyer must collect, need all this gone asap so first come first served, not able to hold onto it for anyone.
No silly offer please.

The constant budget speculation is just so frustrating. It's been going on for months. I wish they'd all shut up until the day!
I often think of ripping our 60s kitchen out and just getting a couple of cheap dressers to store things and a table to work on until we can afford to do it."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".

Ooooh, I used to make a lovely lasagne using lentils & veg for the filling. You've reminded me I really ought to resurrect it for future meal plans.
Nothing exciting planned here - really enjoyed our film night last Saturday so we are going to choose one for tonight too. No doubt the cats will want in on some sofa sprawling as well.

You are describing my kitchen, our reclaimed butlers sink is on a stand made of 2 by 4, we also have a couple of shelving units/bookcases. It does the job and has been this way for 12+ years.jwil said:a couple of cheap dressers to store things and a table to work on until we can afford to do it.Fashion on a ration 2025 0/66 coupons spent

It was more a case of needs must, but it works and we haven't felt a reason to change it.PennysIntoPounds said:
