Slide&Hide here, would never want to trade again, plenty of space and - our main argument - I no longer have to be careful with my forearms touching the hot door when open...!

The basement is solid wood (just like the floor slabs); the walls were delivered with windows and doors cut in but not yet removed. The wood will then be used for the staircase construction.

For the wooden stud walls (on the ground floor and upper floor), the windows are already installed as planned.

Basement in solid wood: I think it's simply for the structural engineering. The earth mass is pressing from the outside and the house is pressing from above. But I didn't explicitly question it.

It must be because of the structural engineering. Solid wood is more stable than wooden studs. Our basement has solid wood on three sides. With wooden studs, the basement would have had to be built with masonry or we would have had to move one meter away from the retaining wall.

For us, all walls and the intermediate ceiling are made of solid wood.

Miele is out even for my parents and parents-in-law. The appliances don’t last forever anymore and for less than 10 years they are too expensive.

My Neff oven heats up quickly and evenly. No need to rotate cakes and pizzas.
The Slide & Hide door was the reason for buying it and it’s really great. I also find the operation good.

In my opinion, brands within the same price range don’t differ much. I think the function has to suit the person. Slide & Hide only makes sense with elevated ovens. Others cannot do convection at 170 degrees for 40 minutes, you first have to set it Meat, Pork, 1.2 Kg

Others cannot do fan oven 170 degrees 40 minutes, first you have to select meat, pork, 1.2 kg

That is exactly how the Miele was explained to us and that would be a no-go for me. I also want to enter how many degrees and at most how long. But usually I prefer to look at how much longer it still needs.

No, we didn’t want a saddled one, because either if the steps go all the way to the wall, you eventually get a dirt edge there, or you have more space and then everything falls through. Besides, we also like the look better with stringers.

Price... yeah yeah the price
a good 11 for downstairs with and upstairs without risers.

Got it! I’ll have to think about the saddled staircase again. Seems like it has drawbacks too.

Wow, that much! We're already paying a surcharge for the beech staircase with risers (around 2K, the standard is a simple steel stringer staircase), let’s see what such a color change costs (I really like the white) and whether it’s even possible...

Slide&Hide here, I would never want to switch anymore, plenty of space and - our main argument - I no longer have to worry about hitting my forearms on the hot door when it’s open...!

We decided against Slide&Hide and took the regular Neff oven. How long is the oven door open so that one can bump into it? Normally, you should close the door as quickly as possible to avoid losing too much heat. With us, the thing is open for max. 1 minute to check or take out baking items and then closed again. Bumping into it is hardly possible – unless you are very forgetful At least, that was our point of view and not worth about 200 € extra to us.

That’s exactly how the Miele was explained to us and that would be a no-go for me. I also want to be able to enter how many degrees and max. how long. But usually I prefer to just check how much time is left.

It may have been the Miele. At the kitchen studio, he just rushed us through the display kitchens and had us try and look at dishwasher, cooktop, steam cooker, oven, refrigerator. The motto was "You have to work with it." He only pointed out special features, Slide&Hide, Neff Twistpad, menu navigation, adjustability of the dish racks, etc.
