Hi,

Not sure if I have the right NG, but here goes.

I am going to have a new kitchen. The last one was installed by myself and a
right pain it was too, so this time I want it fitted for me. I like the look
of the Moben kit and I wanted to know how this company stands in the quality
and reliability stakes.

Any suggestions.

Thanks

recommendations?

not from me sorry - I am in Australia and think most kitchens are total
rip-offs. I have fitted three in my time and all were pulled out of other
people's houses. The dearest cost me under $5000 with appliances, and I am
talking about solid timber benchtops, American Colonial Porcelain knobs,
Pilasters on the cabinet fronts, a 3 1/2 bowl sink with exposed breach taps
and real 18th century French provincial tiles for the splashback and a
stainless range.

We have a paper over here called The Trading Post, which comes out each
Thursday. Each week it would have at least 50 kitchens of varying age and
condition, ranging from free to around $5000. It is great if you know how to
modify things or have an extension that you can incorporate the kitchen
into.

Maybe you have something similar

Moben Kitchens are connected to Dolphin bathrooms who are a complete shower
of chancers. Check out complaints throughout newsgroups by searching Google
for details of their hard sell.

We got Dolphin out once - long story short - didn't offer him a cup of
coffee (or even a seat) and he was still here for more than 2 hours leaving
me with a price written on back of business card. Got local firm out and
did two bathrooms cheaper than the price they quoted.

The scary thing is that they now do "special needs" bathrooms where
customers are much more likely to be taken in by their crap!

Keep on hunting ....

Always the best way, talk to satisfied customers.

When I worked for Moben/MKD I was told to say worked for them & was not a
subbie too.
As I said above, I worked for Moben once.....................
