Kitchen offers without price indications - is this common?

I can understand the OP. Actually, the whole thing is supposed to be an offer. But an offer is a one-sided declaration of intent with a binding character. But if I don’t even know what is being bound by it, the whole thing is null and void. It can be changed later at any time by the person processing it.

I rather see it as a planning offer. But I see it rather neutrally and take no position. I too can understand the displeasure. I felt like over the weekend in at least 10 threads I understood the displeasure of OPs, but it doesn’t help for the answer if it’s the rule, and the answer is simply like that. And honestly: it’s similar with house building, if not exactly the same: which general contractor commits himself in his scope of work description? Only the high-priced ones... and that only after the contract is signed. The comparison is a bit flawed, I know. But it is like this: if kitchen planners give everything out, the consumer first researches on the internet whether they are paying 50€ too much. We’ve already gone over this topic here dozens of times… The data of the requested appliances was given, a plan was created, an amount named. And now the OP doesn’t trust the seller that the appliances are really included. She will get this data if she takes the kitchen. In between is a black hole… by the way, there is a book about buying kitchens!

I also know that this is how it is handled in the furniture center, but that doesn't make it any more correct.
Individual prices do not have to be included in the offer, but at least the content of the offer would be nice.

Sellers allow their own notes. In my opinion, you can also write down the device numbers there.

When I agreed with my kitchen studio, I received the contract and everything was listed there including the device names. We then changed 3 devices before signing.

Exactly that could have been avoided with a proper offer. You commit to a kitchen studio, everything is nicely put together, you have a fixed price, and then you get the list of the devices and realize that the devices are rated really poorly online because they typically die after 2.5 years. So back to square one, selecting new devices again, having a new offer made, and hoping that the new price fits the budget. Extra effort for both sides.

So back to the start, search for new appliances again, have a new offer made, and hope that the new price fits the budget. Extra work for both sides.

That’s why you choose a good studio and don’t run to the next XXXL. They already know which appliances are good and which are not. If you give them a small budget, they can’t plan premium appliances for you.

.. and then there is also the point that the OP only needs the kitchen in 2 years. I find it more important here to define the functionalities that the appliances should have. In 2 years, there will be 2 new generations of appliances and one can then decide on the appliances. Currently, it is also the case that the delivery of many appliances cannot be guaranteed.
