    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 £350

    Still 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.

    Agreed second hand kitchen could really be the way to go or ex display.

    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.

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