The Mini Kitchen
Why should I choose a metal kitchen?
Due to the higher quality of its material, a metal kitchen has a longer life span than a wood kitchen. You will not experience any water damage either, as the worktop cannot swell. Another asset is its low maintenance and timeless design.
Which are the most suitable places for a mini kitchen?
Its space saving and simple construction makes the kitchen extremely versatile.
For instance in:
- Student halls
- Senior residences
- Annexes
- Apartment hotels
- Holiday apartments
- Offices
- Medical/dental practices
- Salons
- Staff kitchens
- Construction site containers

If a delivery is damaged despite the packaging, please notify the driver immediately in writing and inform us by e-mail with pictures of the damage.
Aufbau/Montage
How is the kitchen set up?
We are unable to offer an assembly service because the kitchen is delivered by haulier. Our metal kitchens are delivered fully assembled and ready-to-use. Only the oven and the dishwasher are never installed by us because it would make the kitchen too heavy to move.
User manual/assembly instructions
A user manual is included with every kitchen, explaining how to connect it. Full instructions are also included for any component that still needs to be installed (e.g. dishwasher).
The instructions/user manual are also available on our website to refer to if you are unable to find your copy.
