Talk to me about Magnet kitchens

Are they a lot better than Howdens?

Replacing a Howdens kitchen, I wasn’t impressed with the quality. Looking for something a lot better and longer lasting.

Thank you!

I've been happy with mine. 12 years and still looking good

We’re happy with our kitchen but if you do go with them, look out for the amount of worktop they sell you. They oversold us by 5m and have done the same to friends of mine.

Thank you both this is really helpful. Good to know that they last. That’s what I am looking for. I will watch out for being oversold work surface.

I had a dire experience. They completely mismeasured and everything ended up assymetric with odd gaps left and parts having to be taken back as they didn’t fit. They also mislaid the floor. When I tried to get them to make good the problems they suddenly said they’d found £100s of extra work they’d done that they hadn’t charged me for and that if I proceeded with the complaint they would charge me. They then started sending me weekly final reminders for this until I dropped the charge. Truly dreadful. The work also took weeks longer than they said it would.

We had a good experience. The designer was great and we negotiated to get it cheaper than a lesser quality kitchen from Howdens.
