Us and them
We know there is no shortage of companies offering supposedly cheaper deals . We know how the business works outside swedemade. Hidden fitting fees. Waiting times. No communication between the person who sells you the kitchen, and the man who fits it. ‘Disappearing workmen’. The mess. Our clients are people who won’t hand over their door keys to people they can’t trust. (If you don’t trust them, why are they fitting your expensive kitchen?) So we’re fine with the competition – because they’re not really, are they?
Swedemade
- A showroom in the countryside, only available by appointment
- Claes and John, kitchen craftsmen with 50 years’ experience between them
- There’s a choice of hundreds of kitchens, doors and worktops
- They’ll be the guys who fit it, too
- Your quality kitchen will be fitted by experts who can work around the quirks of your kitchen
- We project-manage the whole deal, so you don’t have to
- If you can’t fit it all in, we can help to adjust the footprint of your home
- Oh, and the invoice includes everything. Everything
Not swedemade
- Showroom settings in huge stores that look nothing like your kitchen
- A school leaver with a computer. Good luck with that
- Everything in MDF. Always, always MDF
- Let’s hope your pipes, electrics, walls, windows and doorways are where they should be
- Oh dear – the builders have disappeared. Again
- Workmen who blame each other when problems arise
- ‘Free quotes and free fitting’. And the mysterious ‘extras’ on the final bill. Hmmm
