With a choice of suppliers including B&Q, Homebase, Ikea and others offering cheaper flatpack alternatives to factory assembled cabinets at higher prices we made the false assumption that the higher priced Wickes Kitchens with their lifetime guarantee were preassembled. BUT they are all flatpack so should have bought the cheaper Howdens ready built cabinets! In fairness the service received from our local Wickes was helpful and efficient; shame no mention made of self assembly.

Why are people so obsessed with 'flatpack' kitchens not being as good as rigid? It is not so difficult to understand that every kitchen is 'flatpack' at some time in its life! Better to have a competent joiner assemble it in the room it is being fitted in, so he can adjust here necessary (and have room to work) than send out pre-built, risking transportation damage. Better to concentrate on the important issues such as quality of fittings and density of carcase material. A decent quality kitchen is too heavy to send out flat, as the units weigh so much more as they are made of high density chipboard rather than 'weetabix' carcases. Get your priorities right! PS no, I don't work for Wickes!
