We are updating out kitchen and so we went along for a design consultation at Magnet. I was suprised at how busy they were and the gact that you needed to book several days in advance to get a slot.
The appointment was made and we were one step closer to getting our dream kitchen.
The first few mins was used to browse through the showroom to look at all the different kitchens. Then the next two houes we sat and designed our kitchen with some of the experts. I was really suprised at how patient they were. They spent time to understand the brief and then verify the measurements.
They then create a kitchen for you. You can see what the designer is doing as they have their own computer screen which is then projected behind them for you to view too.This way you can see and change the kitchen as it is created. I thought thia was really great. The software that they use allows an instant 3D image to be created so you can see what the kitchen would look like.
I felt the designer too care to create the work triangle and to try and use the space as effectively as he could. I liked the way he made the kitchen symmetrical. I wanted the maximum storage and he did this. He was not pushey and did not try to upsell anything. We respected and appreciated this.
The only downside to the experience was the quote! We received it by email the same day. It was accompanied by images 2D and 3D. There were lots of additional items thay were i there which were not discussed in the consulation. This raises the quote quite significantly.
These are optional and we are now waiting to meet again to finalise the quote!
