Neither. Get Ikea instead. The build quality is excellent, the design and engineering of things like hinges and drawer runners is brilliant, there are countless options for everything and it's cheaper. Loads of aftermarket door companies too, you can just buy the carcasses and get different doors (we just went with Noremax and were able to order completely custom sizes so we have 2.7m floor-to-ceiling doors for a bespoke look). I've built many kitchens and unless you have 100k for Poliform then Ikea is your best bet.

This. Some builders will huff and puff about Ikea but this is usually because Ikea are full depth whilst others have a 50cm or so gap behind for pipes/electric (which may mean more rerouting of utilities). Also check workshopexpress for the worktop itself.

My pals had a disaster with Wren - ended up having to take them to court. Measurements wrong (or measurements right and cutting wrong - can't remember which). Replacement items took months to prepare. No contractors available when replacement items arrived resulting in another month wait. Things done in the wrong order (e.g. units and oven installed before wiring work behind units completed). Fitting contractors wouldn't come back to uninstall the units as they'd done their job. Electrician contractors refusing the remove the oven (not my job guv). Wren saying contractors were at fault when they were supposed to be project managing. And so on...... They were without a kitchen for 9 months and now they hate it, partly as it isn't up to the standard they'd expected, and partly as it reminds them of the stress they endured.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
