I’m being quoted similar prices for exactly the same spec and design from both these firms.

Is there

anything to distinguish between them by reputation or by technical design?

One says they’re a mercedes benz, the

other dismisses their opponents detailing, and I’m confused!

To give you my personal opinion I would opt for German quality over

Italian flair however here are a few interesting questions to ask both suppliers to determine the quality of their

cabinets.

What are the guage of the backpanels in both wall and base cabinets?
Are the cabinets constructed from MFC

or MDF?
Is there a full height back in the sink base unit?
Is an ABS edge applied to the cabinet front edges?
What

are the lead times for replacements if required?

Incidentally, working in association with bespoke manufacturer, we now

offer UK delivery on colour matched cabinets in MDF with ABS edges, solid backs to wall and base cabinets, full height sink

unit backs and replacement parts within a week.

Angst.

MFC is melamine Faced Chipboard,

used commonly in the construction of cabinetry regardless of market status. It is also used on budget door ranges.
MDF is

Medium Density Fibreboard, a higher spec and more durable board that is widely used as to produce a more upmarket door finish

either lacquered, foilwrapped or veneered. Not often will you source an MDF Cabinet but we can now offer this through an

associated manufacturer in a choice of finishes.
