Space Kitchens

Advantages: Good customer service
Disadvantages: Haggling over the price

...Introduction to company Enter Space Kitchens. I think I was probably set up by someone to receive a call (through a bonus scheme that they run) and so a call duly came. An appointment was made which took them by surprise, and the ‘designer’ came along last August. The idea was that the quote would be good for a year, and if I appeared in Feature Homes magazine, I could have an instant reduction and also benefit from anyone booking a new kitchen ...
...number to get back to Space Kitchens with. I went back to the Salmon pink, and learnt to love it a bit more, thinking of what colours I could paint the walls; how I could cover the work surfaces etc etc. Or even, how ‘80’s retro is all the rage and maybe it has come back into vogue? December 2003 In December, I had another call from Space Kitchens, asking if I still needed my kitchen refitted, and why hadn’t I gone ahead. I said that I was saving ... Read review

Advantages: you keep them rich
Disadvantages: smells like a scam, looks like a scam, by golly....!

...by a company working for Space Kitchens - we could have a completely free fully-fitted kitchen if we allowed it to be used as a Show Kitchen. My wife spoke to a supervisor who confirmed that there were no upfront costs. As it was a no-obligation free quote, she arranged for their sales person to call (about 8:30pm). The word SCAM sprang to my mind, but I was willing to give it a go. Forewarned is forearmed! The sales person was smart and immediately ...
...friendship with us - similar situation with kids, similar friends, complementing us on our taste etc etc. It would be hard not to bond with them, therefore harder to refuse them (cynic that I am). The sales pitch stated how they cut out the middlemen and use your kitchen to show to potential purchasers. They also gave guide prices on cheaper (<£5000), middlerange (£5000-15000), and expensive (£13000+) kitchens from rival companies, generally pitching ... Read review

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Rip off, time wasters, poor quality, illegal sales tactics

I went on to Space Kitchens web site to have a look at there designs, before I knew it I had a phone call from there call center asking if we would like a free design with no pressure. I thought this sounds good and booked a time. The day of the design came and the call center phoned to say that Max would be the visitor and gave me a code to give him so we would get the 50% off and £1000 trade in for our kitchen. 7pm came around and a lady turned ...
...enough and went through what Space Kitchens were all about. We warned her that we needed her to be finished by 9pm at the latest, she agreed. After drawing a number of diagrams showing the poor quality sector (MFI, B&Q etc) she went on to describe the middle sector and top quality sector. She then got to the point and said you can get top quality kitchens at low prices from Space Kitchens because they didn't have show rooms and didn't advertise. ... Read review

Advantages: Still in one piece
Disadvantages: None

...in my initial review of Space Kitchens I would get back to you with an update of developments. My kitchen is now just over 6 months old. Fitted November 2006, I am totally satisfied with it, I have had no reason to call Space Kitchen's, back the fitters did an excellent job. Nothing has fallen off, or needed attention. The only things I would say is that if I were to design the kitchen again I would move a light switch, fit a door to where I had ...
...with Space Kitchen. Everyone who has seen the kitchen have commented on how good it looks. I cannot understand the negative reviews, not my experience at all. They do phone me occasionally to see if I have any customers for them but otherwise they are not a problem. ... Read review

Advantages: Pleasent Salespeople with tragic stories
Disadvantages: Salespeople who make up tragic stories for sympathy (and ultimately money)

...boyfriend answerd a call from space kitchens one morning, usually we both hang up nuisence calls, but he carried on listening to her and asking questions about the promotions. She called back later to confirm a date for the salesperson to come round, I wanted to tell her to poke her kitchen and hang up but I didn't, she kept going on and on and I thought I would seem like a nasty person if I just hung up on her. Some how she managed to arrange the ...
...how different he was from Space kitchens he laughed and said it was because he is "a professional designer, not a salesman." He asked us if Space Kitchens had asked us to use our phone and told us stories of how his family members had died. Common tactics it seems. Do not trust Space Kitchens under any circumstances. We still havn't got our £100 deposit back. ... Read review
