Kitchen Furniture - Magnet Were The Best For Me!


If you are struggling with ideas for your kitchen, then don't despair. It is probably one the hardest rooms to tackle and a lot of people get put off by the upheaval.

When we bought our latest house it was in dire need of a refurb. The kitchen looked like it had just stepped out of the 1970s and the units were pale wood with contrasting dark wood. It was quite horrible! But we knew it could be replaced and we intended on doing just that. In fact, we made sure it was the first thing we did when we moved in. Get the stress over all at once!

We had our kitchen designed with Magnet and they were great. Prior to this we had asked Moben to come over and give us an estimate but they never even came back to us and the girl they sent over didn't appear to have a clue. All in all, we were relieved to find someone so professional at Magnet and they did a great job re-designing the whole kitchen furniture space. You hear horror stories from lots of different kitchen companies, but i think we were lucky with Magnet.

If you really want to add some class to your kitchen, i definitely recommend looking at a Corian worktop. At the time, it was the most expensive worktop Magnet were offering and we just couldn't afford it, but it looked fabulous. Corian worktops have many benefits, including the fact they are very versatile, non-porous and should last a long time. Many people would be surprised to know that the much-favoured granite worktop is not always the best choice. Granite worktops apparently require a lot of upkeep to retain the beauty, and they can be easily stained and/or marked. We were actually disswayed from choosing a granite worktop and in the end we went for a laminate for easy cleaning.
