Second Nature Kitchens

[Redmalc]

First timer so be kind please
We are in the negotiation stage with a Second Nature distributor for a new kitchen with appliances and silstone worktops,firstly we have no idea what we should be looking for but we like the Remo Alabaster kitchen,any tips on Second Nature kitchens would be very helpful good or bad before we make our decision next week.
We have the Alno designer coming in the morning for a quote,i am of the opinion it will be a lot more expensive,i need to realise why that is because the units look the same and are handleless like Second Natures.
HELP PLEASE

It is all down to the price and whether it is acceptable to you. It is not just the price of the units and worktops it is all the other work that has to go in as well such as ripping out, plumbing, electrics, flooring, tiling and decoration. This will be wrapped up in the fitting cost so you need to get an idea of the costing of each element and make a decision whether it is fairly priced. One things is sure you know it will be looking tired and dated in 10 years so bare this in mind when you make the final decision.

I am a bit cynical on these 'designer' kitchens as at the end of the day they are all much the same construction of boxes and doors and often it is the quality of the finish to the facings that separates a BnQ unit from these higher end units. I am not sure if the premium price is worth it?

If you are looking at a holistic solution where they come in and do the lot I think you should also get a supply only price and source your own installer for a quote. If you go for the full monty, haggle on the price as there will always be room for negotiation. It is a bit like the chump selling double glazing having to phone his boss to allow him to offer you the 'special' price.

Good luck
