Advantages: Cheaper than Moben

Disadvantages: Took too long to fit and not a nice experience

Belgam kitchens. fitted to a fair standard - it was the finishing bits that left a lot to be desired;-
1. tiling was paid for and they didn't want to do it, had to fight for a tiler to come round
2. carbon filters for the cooker hood - wrong ones and had to wait over a month
3. bits of the kitchen were not delivered
4. moved a radiator and pipework leaked
5. was told the fitting would take three to five days (without granite worktop) in fact worktop was fitted a month before handles and tiles were put on
6. the planned kitchen could not be fitted, the surveyor (owner) didn't have a clue
7, the owner kept wanting to be paid the final amount before the job was completed - DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU USE THEM.
good points;-
1. worktop was beautifull (different firm from manchester made and fitted it)
2. fitters worked hard and adjusted things to make them fit when needed - see point 6 above

Summary: If you can't do it yourself - find a local who can
