We're trying to freshen up the kitchen on a tight budget. I need a couple of lengths of work top. Ikea do one that would look ok for £35. Same thickness one in B&Q is £75+. Is the B&Q one a lot better?
Have a look at your local timber merchants that the trade use and you should get a better quality for the same or less. DON'T be tempted to go for a gloss work top as they only look good when new and scratch easily.
