IKEA kitchen fitting: the cheapest offer
What to expect from the “sweatshop assembly”
Meet Honza, Karel, Mark and Zdenda. Honza was once assembling the kitchen at his mother's house. Karel helped his dad assemble some cabinets from IKEA. Marek... Marek has a car. And Zdenda's father? He has a garage full of tools. And since these four have a lot of experience, they decided to do custom IKEA kitchen assembly. No training, no experience, no knowledge - just a few tools and a determination to make a quick buck.
They got basic equipment from the garage and Mark's younger brother knocked up their website. And since you can write whatever you want on the internet, they decided to „embellish“ the reality a bit. Why not! That would mean assembling five kitchens every day, including weekends and holidays, and having a team of at least 20 people? Irrelevant. The point is that it sounds good. And no one's gonna verify it anyway.
The first clients got caught. They made some montages, took pictures of their „work“ and downloaded some more nice pictures from the internet just in case. Because who cares, right? As long as it looks professional.
And now the reality. What happens when you order such a kitchen installation?
👉 The cabinets are crooked, the doors don't fit, the drawers are scrubbing.
👉 Worktops poorly watered, water finds its way in.
👉 Silicone under the sink is missing - expect swelling wood.
👉 No knowledge of IKEA assembly technology - improvisation instead of precision.
After a few months, the problems start. The doors tilt, the drawers are hard to close, the top is warped from moisture. And you look at your CZK 100,000 kitchen and think it looks like something from the Okey Furniture sale. It really is a hot fixture!
You want to avoid that?
