Anyone dealt with Wren?

They've a kitchen I quite like and their online price estimator comes up
with a price that's more than I wanted to spend (standard procedure) but
not shocking.

I'm starting to get that sinking feeling that you get when you tell
someone exactly what you want and they won't tell you how frigging much
it is until you've all become invested in the process.

Someone is coming to take some measurements and then we've to go to the
showroom for a consultation which they reckon will take 2-3 hrs.
It so will NOT!


Looked at Wren last year along with Howdens and Wickes. Wren seemed
poor value, Howdens seemed impossible to get a straight answer from, and
Wickes were good quality and value albeit for their top end wooden stuff.

We pretty much knew what we wanted, but their designer came out to
measure up and made some very useful suggestions. They provided all the
white goods on a price-match basis. We didn't use them for fitting, and
we bought the worktop elsewhere.

I guess it depends on what's on sale at the time and how good the
designer is. We were at the end of a sale period, and the designer we
had was off on holiday soon - no kitchens get sold until the next 'sale'.

Cheers
