    Seems a fair price,
    As the 800mm Pan draw only comes in cushion close you need to make sure the other units are cushion close aswell.
    You also have no other draws in that kitchen. You might require them for knifes/forks etc. They come in 500mm 4 draw and 600mm 3 draw variety.

    Just as a note, this range may become discontinued in the near future. A little bit of info thats might be worth haggling with.

    These are the magic words to strike that final deal.

    R U replying from Howdens Joinery?

    Imparial advice,
    Get comparitive quotes from other merchants:


    Jewsons (don't know much about them)
    magnet (15 year gaurentee - i think Howdens is only 5 or 10)
    and your local independents (Often you get better service)


    Price seems ok but i bet they could do better. particularly because you are getting appliances.

    Happy shopping
    That mrs macchicken to you!
  • Don't know if you've already ordered your kitchen but if not I'd definitely try and get a comparative quote from a local kitchen supplier, you'd find a whole lot better quality for probably a similar price if you try. The Howdens kitchens are ok - but mainly aimed at builders putting kitchens in buy-to-lets and houses they're selling in on my opinion. The units still have those crappy hardboard backs in them
