Good priced Kitchens in Cork

17,000 .I have quite a large kitchen though and a large utility as well.

Ikea actually have 3 different price ranges. I went for the Method one. This is the most expensive one while the kitchen is a fine size, the utility is quite big.

We have a small kitchen, went with the Ikea in Douglas too, cost 10k all in (we got two appliances fridge/freezer and dishwasher included the kitchen was 7k the fitting was 3k).

The experience was mixed,

The people working in the shop were excellent, we ordered and were told there was a 3 month delay in fitting at that time, our problem came on delivery when they missed delivering so many parts (including cabinet doors) because they didn't pack the order for 3 months and while they were in stock at ordering, they were out of stock by packing/delivering.

after a brief misunderstanding on IKEA's behalf (they told us to pick a whole new kitchen last minute with an hour to decide on everything to keep the date with the fitter) eventually we went with sticking to the kitchen we wanted (as we didn't like the other colours/designs) and wait until the missing parts came back into stock (IKEA couldn't guarantee they would). They eventually did come into stock and delivered them and the fitter came back to fit them, a bit disappointed if i'm honest in how a company as large as IKEA dealt with the whole situation tbh, their team in Dublin who were ringing us had 1 excellent staff member who literally saved our kitchen, but a lot who didn't know what they were doing and were quite rude to us and the fitter.

The local carpenter they used was phenomenal, because our kitchen is small he had a lot of work to do and he did it impeccably, the quality of the work and the units is fantastic and holding up excellently to wear and tear so far. Someone after the fact mentioned we could of hired him directly to install the IKEA kitchen and just not paid IKEA Douglas for the fitting (when i asked the fitter he confirmed this is an option and would have been faster, and significantly cheaper to install and all of the items would have been ordered straight away and in stock) Ikea take a huge portion of the fee they charge to you for fitting the kitchen.

so lessons learned and all that.

Yes, i was thinking it would be at the most about 1000€ for the carpentry as its typically a day job

Wiring and plumbing I can do , just rough idea of carpentry for the day from Cash and Carry is what im looking for
