OMG, you have to be kidding! Even at post-crash prices this is a huge amount of money. And just because a home is expensive doesn't mean it has a large kitchen. Look at all those kitchens in expensive apartments that don't even have upper cabinets.
I have a kitchen with three upper cabinets and a fan cabinet, a 1.85m long countertop with a one-and-a-half sink unit (the rest is under-counter appliances) as well as a 2m long peninsula with drawer cabinets underneath. It's not solid wood but if I had more money I'd get exactly the same kitchen again except I'd get a better countertop. It cost me less than €1,000 (not including appliances) three years ago in Ikea. And no, my house didn't cost €10,000![/QUOTE
its great your kitchen cost a grand but the guy was looking for everthing to be priced. from appliances, fitting of kitchen, tiles, plumber, electrics etc... there is alot more cost to a kitchen than just how much you pay in ikea..
