  • I think it depends on your fitter. We used Howdens who made a few mistakes with the layout and measurement (missing some pipes, etc.). Luckily our fitter spotted the mistakes before he began and was able to work around them, but we had to compromise with loss of space in some cupboards. Howdens also sent some of the wrong bits.

    Quality of the actual units was fine. It's just coated chipboard/MDF I think. MDF is a poor choice of material for kitchens and bathrooms because if it gets wet it swells and splits. If I was getting a new kitchen I'd be sure not to use it.

  • Yes in an ideal world I wouldn't get MDF units.

    However have you seen the cost of bespoke kitchen companies that do solid wood doors? I bet even they use MDF for the base units.
