Had my kitchen 10 months now, I would not use Howdens again. The sales man was lovely, had lots of great ideas and measured perfectly. Was effecient and replaced things quickly when my fitter found faults. However the quality is dubious. I have a small bubble appear in the worktop near the hob which they have blamed on hot fat splash, which may well be the case, but surely a kitchen worktop should withstand the use it was intended for? One of the drawer sliders is broken through normal use and there is warping to the front of a cupboard door, which they are replacing under warranty. Beautiful kitchen, not perfect, will not use Howdens in future.
