How do Schuller Kitchens compare in quality to other German brands sold by independents?
German kitchens differ in quality.
One of the quality differences between German brands are the cross beams. These are also sometimes called cross bars. These give the unit it’s strength and durability. Lower-quality German brands come with cheap, chipboard cross beams. The problem with these is they can split. In contrast, Schuller Kitchens come with tough, durable wooden cross beams that will never split.
Below are what cross beams look like.
Another quality difference between brands are the thickness of the shelves. lower-quality German brands have 16mm thick shelves. In contrast, Schuller kitchens have 19mm thick shelves for enhanced support.
An area Schuller kitchens fall down on though are their backs. Schuller kitchens come with 3mm thick hard board backs. In contrast, higher-quality German brands come with an 8mm thick solid backs for enhanced strength and durability.
Another area Schuller fall down on is the number of interior cabinet colours they offer. Schuller only offer 4 interior cabinet colours. This means that it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to have the same colour on the inside of the cabinet that you have on the outside. In contrast, some German brands offer a choice of up to 30 interior cabinet colours. Having a larger choice of interior cabinet colours means there’s a high chance you’ll be able to have the same colour on the inside of your kitchen that you have on the outside. Matching the inside colour of your kitchen with the outside gives a more coordinated, seamless look.
