Thanks.
How do you think it compared in price to the equivalent Howdens / High St. 40k kitchen shop price?
I guess you needed to bring your own builder / kitchen person in to do the putting together.

DIY kitchens cabinets arrive pre-made up by default (you can request them in made of access is an issue etc) so if you’re paying someone to build and fit this is worth taking into consideration as it saves a heck of a lot of time.
ETA Howdens pricing varies by the tradesperson ordering. Those that order more frequently get preferential discounts. I’d say DIY are probably still cheaper overall.

Pretty good tbh. The planner does a lot of that - it'll flag stuff that it thinks won't work and automatically provide end panels etc.
Then someone checks over the plan before you pay/finalise the order. They messed up one panel for me but I was mixing and matching some bits in a fairly non-standard way - and they sorted free collection and refund for the part so no harm done.
I paid about £6k for my kitchen (minus appliances and worktops) and that's with quite a few cabinets/drawers etc.
