Budget price Kitchen but nicely designed and built.
I found JD Furniture when I was looking for a new kitchen to replace the aging MFI 1980's units that we had inherited with our new home. The trouble was we needed almost a complete kitchen and our money was very tight.
Enter JD Furniture, whom I found via a google search. They sell direct, and are also listed on ebay and Amazon. The unit design is clean and modern, but the price is considerably cheaper than some of the competition. Any concern about quality was swiftly laid to rest when we started to unpack and assemble the units. They aren't high-end, but they are pretty decent and well made.
The furniture does come flat-packed so you will have to assemble it, but this is pretty easy. We encountered only one minor snag with the corner unit, where for some reason the holes for the dowel and screw had been juxtaposed on one component - Thankfully we spotted the error, and with the aid of a hand drill effected a small modification that allowed us to complete assembly.
Unlike some units these don't come with adjustable height feet - instead they rest on a timber plinth. If you want to be able to alter the worktop height you would need to buy some legs separately, but for us it wasn't an issue - and indeed the plinth is far more stable than adjustable plastic legs would be.
All in all it will have taken us just over three days to build our new kitchen. At the time of writing we are still waiting on delivery of three wall cupboards that were ordered as an addition, but the base units are in and have our chosen worktop installed.
Overall the design is very pleasing, and I suspect the modern corner unit will greatly improve the ergonomics as well.
The bottom line is that to be able to fit out a complete medium sized kitchen for less than £1000 in the current economic climate is pretty good going.
At the price I can't fault the design or build quality. If you are looking for the gold plated Rolls-Royce kitchen then maybe this one isn't for you, but if like us you just want something reasonably sturdy that will look good this is well worth considering.
PS Just in case anyone notices I share my initials with this company, let me clearly confirm I am not associated with them. (I live in Scotland and they are based in Birmingham.)
