Ikea Kitchens, easy for the DIY people

Advantages: good quality, easy to understand how to put it together, easy to install, excellent organization
Disadvantages: came in 96 boxes, can be labour intensive

We bought a full ikea kitchen about 1.5 years ago. Now the first thing that I can say is they are so affordable. When looking to redo our entire kitchen, we spent only about 2500$. Most people spend a lot more than this. Ikea delivered the kitchen in 96 boxes! Yup, their kitchens come the same way as all of their other products. This aspect was a little bit of a pain, because it is labour intensive, but it works if you have time and not money. I ...
...was challenging at first, but once you have done two or three and you know how they work, they are very easy to snap together quickly, but make sure you have space! You need space for the boxes and space to build the cupboards, and more space to put all of the cupboards you have already built so they are not in your way. When it came time to put the kitchen together, the instructional DVD that came with everything was very easy to understand, it ...

Review of Ikea Kitchen Systems

100 % price incresse

Advantages: Nice KItchen
Disadvantages: shock price increase

I bought a door for a kitchen unit from B & Q Glasgow on the 6th november, as I was intending to buy a complete kichen and wished to compare the colour with a unit I already had, the price was £15. I spoke to an assistant who said if I bought the complete kitchen on Wednesday I would receive pensioners discount, I explained that I could not come the following Wednesday as I do voluntary work at the local hospital, but could make it the next week, ...
...in stock. Having priced the kitchen from the catalogue I had picked up from the store on the 6th November. I went along on wednesday 18th November and purchased the complete kitchen. However when I checked my receipt I found that the prices of all the cabinet doors had DOUBLED, for example the door I had purchased on the 6th nov. for £15 was now £31. The assistant I had spoken to never mentioned a price increase was pending. How can B & Q increase ...

Review of B&Q Flatpack Kitchens

GLK is just another horrible kitchen company! Watch out!

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: irresponsive, irresponsible, poor time management, damage everything that you have planned for

GLK is the worst company that I have ever dealt with! The owner and the company’s correspondence, Mr. Stephen (Steve) Harding, is just a scum, who never respond to phone calls and voicemails once he has got your money. He would just assume that you have been hypnotised and forgotten about the order will be delivered on the agreed date, as a result of this, you will sit at home all day waiting for nothing, and Steve Harding would not bother to report ...
...Show, and the staff of GLK was so proud of being present in the show, so watch out for them if you are planning to go to one in future. I booked a survey with them on site and they visited in summer 2009. At the time, everything is very prompt and efficient, and they make you feel you have ordered from the right company and you wouldn’t need to worry about anything. As a result of this, I paid my deposit and they arranged a technical surveyor, Mr. ...

Review of Space Kitchens

Space Kitchens...An Absolute Joke.

Advantages: Absolutely None
Disadvantages: All of the above

Space Kitchens - Glasgow Where to start with this shamble of a company? I have been working with the company for nearly 6 months now. I applied for the job as it stated "Driver" on the jobcentreplus form, only to be told after the interview, you are actually going to be a salesman, guised as a "designer". What a joke!!!! The usual starts, they offer you the world, you can make £1000 a day from the commission you earn, joke!!!! Likeliness is, you ...
...your original price. In fact, Space Kitchens can go as low as 70% and they still make a profit!!!! It's the salesman who suffers as he is counting on full price to make a decent commission. Also, the "Feature Home" promotion is an absolute lie. It doesn't exist!!!!!! How can they keep getting away with it? It's a scam to get you interested and to try and create an urgency, they make you feel as you will be missing out if you don't go with them. The ...
