Peri Winkle Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 [*-)] Can anyone advise on the best places to look for good quality fitted wooden kitchens - preferably traditional style? Also, it seems kitchens in France are more expensive than the UK. Has anyone experience of ordering one from a UK firm, or off-net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 We are in dept 87, but we had a solid oak kitchen made to measure and fitted by a french guy and it cost 5500 euros. My husband used to fit kitchens and supply in the uk and he reckoned it was a bargain and not worth him buying one from say Lapeyre or Bricodepot and then having to butcher it to make it fit. It came complete with work tops, the thickest, and the guy fitted it in two days perfectly. We designed it and therefore had cupboards and drawers just wher I wanted them. So my advice would be if you can find a local french artisan and get some quotes. Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanche Neige Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Arthur Bonnet in Saintes (17) made us a very good traditional style kitchen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deby Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 We bought a kitchen from IKEA in the UK for half the price of IKEA Bordeaux, it cost £250 to bring it over and we saved ourselves a wapping £1000 in the process.Email me if you want the guys name who delivered.Deby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Di Rolph Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 We got really depressed when looking for a kitchen for our house in the Loire, nothing that was our taste at all. Then, we walked into a branch of Schmit and were delighted with what we saw. They could not have been more helpful, and we chose a kitchen which was installed quickly and efficiently. And its beautiful! We will be moving to Dept 46 this year, and will certainly be looking at using them again as they seem to operate all over the world. http://www.cuisines-schmidt.com/ will direct you to the nearest branch to you. And no, I don't work for them, we are just really satisfied customers!Diane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
