How is the running meter of kitchen furniture calculated and why is it very often not true? Many sellers and buyers of kitchen furniture use the name ācost of a running meterā. What is a ārunning meter of a kitchenā, how much does it cost and how to count it?
The ārunning meterā of kitchen furniture was invented by sellers of kitchen furniture for ease of work with customers. To the question āHow much does the kitchen cost?ā usually answer: ā$ 300 running meterā. When a more careful calculation is made, it very often turns out that the cost of a ārunning meterā increases by 1.5-2 times. Why is this happening?
- Many kitchen furniture sellers tell you the ābase costā of a running meter. Usually it includes the cost of the cheapest kitchen modules, sometimes it does not include handles, plinths, countertops, wall panels, etc..
- Different elements of kitchen furniture with the same size have different costs. For example, a wardrobe-table with one door and a wardrobe-table with five drawers with the same dimensions differ in price by 1.5-2 times.
- In many stores you will be offered components of different cost (countertops, wall panels, handles, etc.)
For example, the cost of a domestic or Polish countertop is 30-40 percent less than the cost of a German countertop. The concept of āthe cost of a running meter of kitchen furnitureā usually includes the cost of the cheapest components.
How to minimize the cost of kitchen furniture?
- Construction of kitchen modules.
The simpler the design of kitchen modules, the cheaper your furniture will cost.. - Width of kitchen modules.
The more wide kitchen elements, the cheaper the total cost of kitchen furniture (one 80 cm wide cabinet is cheaper than two 40 cm cabinets of similar design). - Kitchen modules with glass doors.
The fewer kitchen modules with glass doors, the lower the cost of kitchen furniture (cabinets with glass doors are more expensive than cabinets with blind facades of the same size). - Accessories.
The cheaper the components, the cheaper the total cost of kitchen furniture. We do not recommend using this item to reduce the cost of kitchen furniture, because high-quality components are more expensive, and the quality and longevity of kitchen furniture depends on the quality of the components.
