Kitchen purchase in Rhein-Main / Frankfurt metropolitan area

Hello

Does anyone have a recommendation for a kitchen studio in and around FFM

It is to be bought for ownership Budget over 10k

Price/ performance should be right

I can't give you a specific studio, but maybe I can offer some tips. We searched for the right kitchen for almost half a year. The main problem: our budget of €10,000. It seemed like we couldn't get our wishes fulfilled within this budget. We visited multiple kitchen studios and had to make appointments repeatedly. Getting spontaneous advice was almost impossible.

We went to 3 furniture stores and 3 kitchen studios, and the prices for the same kitchen layout ranged from €23,000 to €32,000 given the budget. After tough negotiations, the lowest price was €16,000, and that already came with: "Oh, I have to ask the manager, etc." When you hear this sentence, you have to keep at it. Then you approach a "fair" price. Although I think the basic rule should be: first price mentioned divided by 2.0 - 2.5 could be a realistic price.

What else we did was go to a Bosch appliance distributor and had the appliances offered without the kitchen. With installation and delivery, our appliance selection came to just under €7,000 (all brand new). Online, we could have saved another €1,000, but then we'd have to order and install everything ourselves. Then to Ikea. The kitchens there are not that bad. At least you get a sense of what the cabinets cost. Final price at Ikea for the kitchen without appliances was €3,500 including delivery and assembly. So by then we knew the lower limit of what was possible.

At the end of our negotiations, we ended up at around €14,000; more was not possible. And that was starting from a price of €25,000. You really feel ripped off. In the end, though, we bought in a furniture store 500 km away that had a partnership with our house builder. There, we received a "voucher" that we really wanted to redeem. The planning there was great, they fulfilled all our wishes, installed our specified appliances, and finally quoted a price of €11,500. No negotiating or anything. This might not help you now, but it should show you_: kitchen sellers work with huge margins. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Comparing prices is worth it, even if it really takes a lot of time.

We are definitely very happy with our Schüller kitchen.

We ultimately bought our kitchen at Möbel Martin in Mainz, although at first (we went there four times until we got an affordable price) I was convinced not to buy there. But since we knew exactly what we wanted, good advice was secondary for us. Maybe it was just because of our salesperson. There is a large selection there, from Wellmann to Siematic. We were offered everything from €17,500 to €24,500 for our kitchen in various studios and large furniture stores during the first conversation, but in the end we paid €11,500 including the typical "oh, I have to ask the manager about this, I can’t decide on my own" blah blah. The margins are really huge. Take the time to let them talk you into it and stay firm, it’s worth it no matter where you buy.
