Current kitchen planning - kitchen purchase

I would also plan with Ikea for comparison. You can find all the kitchen appliances online and then you have a comparison. Drawers are expensive but make the kitchen much more usable, so you should not do without them. Apothecary cabinets, corner cabinets, lazy susans, or pull-out cabinets should only really be used if there is no other option, as they are very expensive. The same goes for gimmicks like interior cabinet lighting or lots of glass. For the appliances, I would take the cheapest that meets your requirements. However, I would not do without induction, pull-outs at the oven, an oven that is easy to clean (not pyrolysis), and a 0-degree zone in the refrigerator. Appliances like microwave, coffee machine, and steam cooker should be bought standalone and not integrated. But these are probably things you are already aware of. Detailed tips can only be given with a concrete offer and the planned layout. Is self-assembly an option for you? Then you can save a lot with some providers.

yeah it’s happening

In terms of quality, they probably are not much different from Nobilia kitchens.

So the statement is probably far, and very far, from the truth...

If you are going to compare, I would rather say Pino is like IKEA but definitely not Nobilia...

Since I have assembled all three before... I more or less know what I am talking about...

I assembled and remodeled our old kitchen in the rental apartment. I would not assemble a kitchen myself anymore from a certain size. I would definitely have it measured and assembled. If it doesn’t fit then, the kitchen installer has to come up with a solution. If you make a mistake, it’s your own fault. If the kitchen installer makes a mistake, they have to fix it. I would definitely have it done.

Gladly, attached are the floor plan and our kitchen concept, basically an L-shaped kitchen:
From the left:

[*]Pantry cabinet
[*]Roll shutter cabinet
[*]Pantry cabinet
[*]Appliance cabinet
[*]Dishwasher cabinet
[*]60 cm drawer
[*]In the corner 3 wall cabinets (3 x 40 cm, possibly also 2 x 50 cm and 1 x 40 cm, depending on measurements)

Back side:

[*]60 cm drawer
[*]60 cm waste separation
[*]2 x 1 meter drawers
[*]Freestanding fridge-freezer

Sink normal stainless steel, 80 cm induction cooktop, 90 cm extractor hood, standard dishwasher, combination oven steam cooker

The kitchen island consists of 2 x 80 cm drawers built around, 80 cm depth, on the back side a table 80 x 80 cm for 3 seats.
Countertop made of laminate.

We should have plenty of drawers, no pull-out pantry or corner cabinets included.
Of course, handleless costs extra, fronts in Magnolia gloss.

We have already removed a lot, only one combination appliance left, we are keeping the fridge-freezer combo. But it is a few meters of kitchen that probably drive the price so high.

Phew, that is really a lot of kitchen... now I can also understand the price, but it will definitely look first-class when it is finished.
