I know there are a few threads on DIY kitchens, but just wanted to ask which ranges people have gone for as the threads I've read where people recommend the company don't really say which range they have used. We are thinking either Luca, Hemelsley or Cento at the moment, pending our visit to the showroom. Thanks!

We have handleless white gloss units, purchased during the worst of COVID in 2020. Fantastic quality. They are still exactly as they were when they were installed. Our installer had never used them before, and said (quote) "these make Howdens look really shit!" He now recommends them to all his clients.

There is a Facebook group that might be helpful (search DIY kitchens).

We are currently looking at getting the Norton (solid wood). The samples we have are fantastic quality.

We got the Luca handleless in a matt finish. It's been in 9 years and still looks as new.

Altino and Silsden in previous houses. In my new house I have Linton.
I have loved them all. Amazing quality and price.

We bought two in December 2023, one for DM in the annexe and one for us.

Ours was Linwood, Cobham Blue.
DM’s was Luca handleless in Matt Cornflower Blue.

Both kitchens are lovely. The carpenter and builder both remarked on the quality when they were being fitted.

Linwood in cornflower blue. Purchased 2017. As good as the day we bought it.

Luca handless in Matt Cobham blue and dove gray. Still love it.

Join the Facebook group - it's very active and people post pictures of their finished kitchens all the time so you'll get some good inspo!

I don’t have a completely finished photo as it’s part of a larger renovation but here’s what I posted on my other thread a few months back:

We used Luca. They're great quality and great customer service

We got Helmsley, three years ago now. Still as good as new. Really happy with it.
