HOW LONG SHOULD A KITCHEN LAST?

 


Back in the UK I am annoyed and upset to find that several of the cupboard doors in our kitchen have bubbled.  We ordered the kitchen in September 2017 but it was not completed until January 2018, so it's only seven years old.

Predictably, Magnet discontinued this colour some years ago so we're waiting to find out what can be done about it.  The construction is a coloured vinyl overlay fixed to the wooden door material.  I am told that bubbling under the vinyl colour wrap apparently cannot be repaired.  There are a total of 26 cupboard doors, 14 drawer fronts plus end panels and trim etc. to replace if they can't find matching doors amongst old stock somewhere.

In buying a quality kitchen we expected it to last much more than seven years.  It obviously doesn’t affect the functioning of the kitchen, it just now looks cheap and horrible.

We await a response from the Magnet warranty people.
