Navy/ dark blue kitchen cabinets, where else to find?

Hi all, has any one seen a company which sells dark blue kitchen cabinets? There is one on Howdens, and one on Magnet but I am struggling to find any more in "real" shops!

TIA if anyone can send me in the right direction..

I've got navy blue units from Wren but came to post specifically to warn you off them! Dreadful customer service, things still aren't right with the kitchen that I had fitted in November 2015!!! Avoid at all costs!!!

Thanks! I think we will avoid then, it seems every positive experience there are 10 people shouting DONT DO IT. Sorry to hear you are still having problems with them after 2 years too, it really is shocking :o

Ummm no idea why a grin has appeared when it was supposed to be a shocked face! I am not amused by your poor experience..

We got ours from DIY kitchens in Farrow & Ball Hague Blue just over a year ago. We've been very happy with them.

Boatyroo that is the exact colour I wanted when investigating bespoke painted doors. Would you mind posting a picture? Don't feel obliged!

I'll try to remember later!

We're just getting our Hague Blue and Wimbourne white kitchen installed. Sadly a bit of a mess but the colour does look great.

If you do go with DIY kitchens, I'd just say that it's best not to go with an inframe style. That's what we were going to do but it turned out to limit the choice of cabinet styles a lot.

We very nearly went for the deep blue kitchen from Wren but they were nasty bastards in the show room. I follow a lot of home interiors accounts on Instagram and seen several people have issues with them (including the same kitchen arriving in 3 different shades of the same colour and the refusing to correct it) and I couldn't be arsed with even anticipating issues.

Ours is stiffkey blue and is lush.

We went to wren for a quote and it was a lovely experience. Massive showroom and lots of ideas.
But.... we knew the customer services experience and went to a local extremely well respected independent. They will work out about 10-15% more that Wren but the quality is world apart (we are right in the middle of the building work). And I could have had any RAL colour, there are hundreds.
They are based in Hertfordshire but cover North London as well.

Thanks for the pics Jojo and Jigster, both look lovely.

Thanks for the feedback about wren Keira, it definitely seems like the place NOT to go with.

Nan0 I have stiffkey blue in my current living room, great choice!
