Hi,


I'm a huge fan of Which? magazine and they recently ranked kitchen providers and Ikea ranked No.1


Does anyone have Ikea kitchen and do you feel that it's worth No.1 ranking?


I'm after white gloss kitchen and it's quite standard so can find similar products everywhere...so not really sure if I should go for high end or mid range (like Magnet) or value for money Ikea.


Any advice would be appreciated!

If you love Which magazine why are you questioning their findings?


Personally I think it's an anachronism in the internet age when you can do all your research online for free (and find products Which don't know about).


Any big brand kitchen (i.e. one with at least a 10 year guarantee of sorts) will be fine as long as you like the finish. The key is getting a good installer.


Wickes and Howdens are liked by installers because they can get good discounts. On the other hand Ikea do nice finishes and have deeper units.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

"We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
