Advantages: none

Disadvantages: 3-4 times more expensive than any competitor to replace components, product does not wear well.

Recently put in a budget kitchen. While changing a light bulb, tripped and put my hand through one of the cupboard fronts. thought it would be cheap to replace. Was I wrong. It will cost £126.oo to replace a MDF paper laminated doorfront. Upon checking with competitors, this is extortionate. The most expensive door front equivelent from my search on the net was £26.00. Not even a solid wood front costs anywhere near this. Furthermore, the drawer runners are wonky and I have to lift one of the drawers so it will slide over top of the one below. Within months all the knob screws have had to be replaced and glue used to stop them from popping off. This is the third kitchen I have put in a couple of properties. I thought it would be cheap to replace and repair as this is going to be a rental property. Was I wrong. Cheap product that is overpriced and incredibly expensive to repair or replace components. I have replace all the door fronts from a competitor at the same price it would have cost me to replace one. Also better quality. Would not recomend to anyone!

Summary: Cheap product that will not stand the test of timeand expensive to replace/repair.
