What happened?  Most of the trade usually know what they are like and
, as they are trade-only, you would have know what to expect.

Not meaning to sound off, just interested as to what happened?

Just a word in Howdens defence.They are the trade only side of MFI.
The carcass they supply is  18mm ....most of the units are already 
assembled.......they deliver in 2/3 days after you have ordered the 
kitchen.Anything broken/marked gets replaced instantly from stock.This is a 
totally different situation to MFI .
They are  cheap..........not perfect....butin my opinion offer real value 
for money.I have fitted a solid oak door version in my kitchen...and one of 
their most basic in my utility room.
I would say its the quality of planning and fitting that are also 
critical......personally I would use them again no probs.

any-thing is wrong, they sort it.
