Hi all,

I've been reading through old threads about handmadekitchens.com, I think they have also been handmadekitchens-direct.co.uk too. They are a company based in Christchurch. I would like any reviews on them/the quality/ service etc if possible.

We really want a painted kitchen and have designed the layout ourselves and Handmade Kitchens are coming out at a great price for the cabinets. I was looking to see if anyone has used them recently and can give me any feedback on the quality? We live in the Leeds area so it won't be easy for us to get to the showroom to look at the kitchens and to be honest we'd rather go off reviews that what we see on their displays.

Any recommendations good or bad would be greatly received, or if you have used a similar type of company to purchase your kitchen then any other company recommendations would be greatly received.

Many thanks in advance
Nicola

I had bad customer service experience with them. I ended up with no kitchen and a few hundred pounds out of pocket.

We had a kitchen from them fitted earlier this year. It looks amazing and we had no problems with customer service. I would say it's worth spending money on a good carpenter to fit it though, as the fit wasn't perfect (although I don't think our floor was perfectly flat - builders fault when we had an extension done rather than the kitchen). We also spent quite a lot on a painter who specialises in hand painted kitchens. But no regrets and got a bespoke handmade kitchen for a fraction of the price of some of the other options we looked at. Happy to answer any questions you have!

Hi,
I'm looking at Handmade Kitchens and have done a plan based on their measurements. However, a bit worried about the accuracy of the plans. Did you make the plans yourselves or use their recommended kitchen planner? How about if the extension is not 100% match to the architect's drawings? How much would you say a painter would charge? Our kitchen to be measures 4460 x 2180. Thank you so much for your help in advance!
