Can anyone recommend a kitchen supplier around Southern Marche. I am looking for a modern looking kitchen rather than a traditional kitchen.

Thanks

We had a new kitchen last winter and went to IKEA for the simple reason that we could sort out what we wanted in the UK and just go into the italian store with the part numbers. Though delivery was quite expensive, we were pleased with the quality and finish. We fitted it all ourselves though. Would do it the same way again.

yes,adrian can certainly recommend the furniture enterprise on the right as you start to enter Servigliano.they're called "Marini mobili" they are the local representatives of "Gatto cucine" a very reputable make of kitchens they do all styles.Marini will also go to your place to take measurements and to give you their best advice complete with scale drawing and detailed estimate etc we had many things from them they were very efficient brought and mounted everything (not being into D.I.Y.) They're an honest family business and practise good prices as most of their suppliers are in turn marche manufacturers.you're also right ,i think to go for a modern kitchen!if you need any other info you can send me a pm.by the way they don't as far as i'm aware have a web site, use e-mail, or take cards.you could probably find a gatto cucine web site to take a look at possibilities before going there i'd presume it'd probably be www.gattocucine.it or similar.

I can recommend Mondo Convenience . The kitchens are modern, attractively priced and looking at the quality it's not bad.... They deliver and "fit" for a mere E320 (a recent quote on a kitchen priced at E4500)

I thought that to get Mondo to do this you have live within 100km of their stores. The nearest one to me is Pescara and we are in Amandola. Will they deliver and install if you are more than 100km away?

When you say that they fit does this mean that they plumb in all the appliances etc. I have seen a nice kitchen on the Mondo website but wonder whether you are best getting a company to come round and measure up etc as if you buy something of the self their is no guarantee that it will slot into the space you have or do Mondo offer a design service if you give them measurements of the kitchen.

Does anyone know how much a good standard bespoke kitchen is likely to cost?

One of the biggest manufacturers in Italy, Lube, is based near Macerata. I don't know if that makes it any cheaper to buy there, but it might be a good place to get some ideas.

i forgot to mention that there is of course no charge either for detailed drawings/estimates up front neither extra charges for delivery or fitting from the people i mentioned you'll always have to arrange for your own plumber/electrician however but thats the same wherever you go

According to the brochure I have, they deliver and install throughout Marche. I have seen people in the store getting help to design their own kitchen; however, I do not have first hand experience with their kitchens. What I can tell you is that to have a kitchen made to your own specifications could cost twice or three times as much... That is what we are paying because our kitchen shape and size is a bit difficult.

Hi
When we first started looking and talking to kitchen people, we were amazed that after half an hour or so of chat , and a few line drawings they expected us to pay for there time, several times with different companies we had to explain that chatting is not buying...

The map shows the area Mondo delivers to.

I'm thinking of heading the opposite way. Getting some freestanding cabinets instead to flesh out the storage space. A credenza will answer most of my needs and it'll be easier to take with me if I move.
