From a carpenter or from a store – where to look for the perfect kitchen?

Why is it worth ordering a kitchen from a carpenter?

• Greater selection of colors and materials. Stores offer a limited selection of laminates and varnishes used to cover fronts. Availability is related to the prevailing fashion and collection of a given store. If we decide to buy a kitchen from a carpenter, we can choose the colors and materials that we like the most,

• A wider selection of kitchen components, which will allow you to create a furniture set tailored to your needs. Are you dreaming of a cargo cabinet under the sink, opening with a knee? Or a heated cup drawer? A carpenter can install these mechanisms in your kitchen,

• The ability to use every centimeter, which is very important, especially in small kitchens. When choosing furniture from a store, we often have to rely on ready-made modules and fill the free spaces with blending. Sometimes such blends are even 15 cm long, which can be easily used for an open shelf,

• When ordering furniture from a carpenter, you can adjust the height of the countertop to your height and its width to your kitchen equipment. When choosing an option from the store, you must match the ready-made modules,

• On-site measurement, which in some situations is crucial to the creation of a complete development. If you decide to buy a store-bought installation, the correct measurement is most often your responsibility,

• An increasing number of carpenters are beginning to cooperate intensively with interior designers to best meet the client’s expectations. This allows you to visualize the kitchen and obtain detailed technical drawings,

• Aesthetics. In most cases (of course, there are exceptions to the rule everywhere), furniture made by a carpenter looks more aesthetic. I am writing here especially about holes for dowels or hinges, which in furniture from a carpenter are drilled in specific places, and not along the entire length of the board.

Why is it not worth ordering a kitchen from a carpenter and using other options?

• Punctuality. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of any furniture being completed on time. I may know of one such case. However, this is an exception, although on the other hand we can wait a bit longer for high quality? Unfortunately, not always. Therefore, if you care about the deadline, also consider other options for building your kitchen

• Guarantee. If you decide to buy furniture from a carpenter, you are legally entitled to a 2-year warranty. When ordering furniture, e.g. from Ikea, you have up to 25 years at your disposal,

• While kitchen fronts from a carpenter can have many colors, they are most often varnished. For comparison, the fronts of large manufacturing companies use fronts covered with PVC foil, which is much more durable. However, due to the cost of this solution, PVC fronts are only profitable in mass production and a limited range of colors in the collection.
