Large Solid Wood Kitchen - costs

poker--addict

Hi,

Two quotes in Meath around 16k.

Would be keen to sense check or reduce this. Can anyone recommend a place with good quality and value? (DM fine if can’t post)

would there be much variance in price geographically? Can imagine premiums around Dublin!

Is there another section I should post this in?

We paid 12k for a solid oak varnished kitchen, with all solid internals/carcass (6 meters) and a large bespoke pantry press also solid timber and painted in 2017. The counter was slate (big mistake it watermarks). I would imagine with the current price increases 16k is normal for solid high quality.

You will pay a big premium for everything to be solid wood. 16k is reasonable if it's all solid. 90% of kitchens have the internals/carcass made of laminated chipboard or similar. You can get exceptionally high quality kitchens with chipboard frames where the money is put into the doors, drawer sliders, hinges, worktops and lots of custom elements. This is probably the route you'll have to take if you want to reduce costs.

Would in frame design add a lot of money?
