How do Leicht Kitchens compare in quality to other German brands?
Most German kitchen brands are higher-quality than the kitchens places like Wren, Howdens, Magnet and Wickes sell. However, this doesn’t mean that all German brands are the same quality as they’re not. They differ in quality.
One of the areas Leicht fall down on are their cross beams. These are also sometimes called cross bars. Cross beams give the unit it’s strength and durability. Leicht kitchens have chipboard cross beams. In contrast, higher-quality German brands have more durable wooden cross beams.
Below are what cross bars look like.
Another area they fall down on are their backs. Leicht kitchens have 3mm thick hard board backs. In contrast, higher-quality German brands have 8mm thick solid backs for enhanced strength and durability.
Another disadvantage of Leicht is that they only offer a choice of 2 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, higher-quality 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.
How do Leicht Kitchens compare in price to other German brands?
German kitchens differ in price. While some brands cost as little as places like Howdens, Wren, Magnet and Wickes, some cost up to three times the price.
Leicht Kitchens start at about 25% more than places like Howdens, Wren, Magnet and Wickes.
