What are peoples' experience/feelings on kitchens from above...doing a good deal at the moment and in Jan and was thinking about it?
 
I researched last year and went for Ikea. Same quality/half the price of the rest. It was in my price range and I'm still pleased with it.
It was right for me, my finances and needs at this time
 
Get the kitchen but do not use B&Q for fitting...their costs for this are enormous...get a local fitter
 
I purchased a metal sliding drawer type item for inside a 600mm cabinet few years back in B&Q, excellent quality for around €50 as far as I remember.

Few months ago went back to get another and it was now €90 and made of see through plastic.

We bought our kitchen from a shop in athlone, came completely flatpack so we had to make up the units ourselves aswell as fit them. Savings allowed to us to have a granite worktop....
 
B&Q do a couple of different ranges at different price/quality points. I bought one of the Cook & Lewis ones with solid oak doors there a few years ago and it was all good quality. I fitted it all myself though, so can't comment about their fitters.

I fitted kitchens from other suppliers for friends and the B&Q one compared well in terms of price and quality.
 
Thanks guys, I was actually advised by the kitchen designer NOT to get the b a q staff to fit it because it was an expensive service!! that being said i'm being offered a big discount 40 percent and they are offering me the same discount on the appliances, american style fridge freezer etc Thats a lot fo savings!
i looked at the review board on google there and they dont look toogood so now im a bit worried about taking them on....
