Any big pluses or minuses with any of them in your experiences?

I'm in the process of installing a B&Q kitchen at home right now, so no
idea about the longevity of the units, etc. However, I will say that I
was amazed at the efficiency of reliability of B&Q. I was expecting some
headaches about delivery dates, things not turning up when they were
supposed to, items missing from order and the general fun and games you
often get when ordering a bunch of stuff from a large supplier who (as
far as I can tell) farms out their customer service and distribution to
different third-parties.

But I had none of that - everything turned up when they said it would,
and arrived in good shape, and looks to be fairly sturdy on initial
inspection. So certainly no complaints at all about them as long as the
kitchen itself end up standing the test of time.

I too had a very good experience with B&Q delivery, etc. I would
definitely recommend the premium drawer kit, and the little hydraulic
bumpers that stop the doors banging.
