Whats the quality comparison like? Currently DIY kitchens is about £2.5k cheaper than magnets even with DIY having 3 extra small cupboards. (Worktops and appliances not included)

Thats comparing magnets middle range of cabinets (pre built) and DIY only have 1 range i think.

I get about 55% off at magnets which brings ~18 units down to about £8k +vat and DIY having 21 units about £6k +vat.

Roughly what it'll look like, there's a few changes since then. And ignore the non accurate sofa.


Got an appointment booked at DIY for this week to go have another look.

Out of interest what were the delivery charges like, from basic to the assistance one?
We popped over to the show room last night and they said delivery was £99 and 5-6 week lead times.

I assume that's the cheapest delivery.

Its interesting watching DIYs short video on how they are made. After all the panels are cut to size they are all put together by machine. The only bit done by hand is when the doors are put on.
