During September, Plant Furniture refurbished our kitchen and utility room. They installed the original kitchen and utility room in March 2008 and they have worked so well for us and remain in such good condition that we decided to refurbish rather than replace. All of the doors, drawer fronts and decor panels were repainted a new colour, handles replaced and updated, door hinges updated, splash back for the hob replaced, a new mixer tap fitted and a new bin and recycling unit installed. From start to finish the service was very professional and the work well planned, executed and managed. The Planet Team arrived when they said they would; did what was planned and were a pleasure to have in our home. They were also very careful to ensure COVID restrictions were adhered to to protect us and themselves. We are extremely happy with the outcome and would not hesitate to work with Planet Furniture in the future.

Planet Furniture were simply superb from start to finish. High quality design and high quality furniture. Every aspect from start to finish was excellent. The people were a joy to work with and they genuinely took care at every stage to ensure we received our dream kitchen. I highly recommend them.

We were recommended by friends to check out this company when we decided to have a new kitchen. After a visit to their showroom and a chat with one of their design staff, Andy, we decided to go ahead and have all the plans drawn up and costed, all without obligation. We were helped all the way through the design phase including choosing colour, style, lighting, fixtures and fittings etc, and after a couple of onsite inspections, suggestions were made and we found we could all work together and the final design left us very impressed. We chose to go ahead with their recommended professionals for all the building, electrical, plumbing and plastering required to prepare the room for the new kitchen. All phases of the work happened on time, on budget with all professionals arriving on the advised day and time and all work completed by competent friendly guys all willing to talk, listen and answer questions as they proceeded. By the time all the "ground work" was completed it was time for our new kitchen to arrive and be installed. This took approximately 6/7 days and as we watched our kitchen take shape we could not fail to be impressed with the quality of the construction of each unit and the care taken in fitting it. The whole project was topped off by the hand painting/finishing of all the units. leaving us with our dream kitchen. Overall, it was expensive and there are cheaper options out there but probably not of this quality. Five Star all the way.....

Planet Furniture designed, procured appliances and furniture, and installed the all these items to form a new kitchen diner. This was a dry fit installation, as building work and changes to services were undertaken by a third party. From initial contact, and throughout the design stages, Andy at Planet Furniture was friendly and keen to achieve a design that I was 100% happy with. Installation of the kitchen by Planet Furniture was undertaken to the highest standard, and I am delighted with the finished result.

A very precise company great attention to detail with sound advice not at all pushy,they were not the cheapest however I firmly believe you get what you pay for,when we went a little off piste with from the original design but there was never a suggestion of extra cost A good company to work with

This truly bespoke company were recommended to us for the design and build of a new kitchen to compliment the proposed new Orangery extension. The project was structurally quite complex hence the need for a unique and bespoke design. The outcome has been perfect and the design has enhanced the newly created room that Westbury have built - overall we could not be happier. The service, craftsmanship and efficiency of the Planet Furniture team was first class throughout and we would recommend them to any one.

Andy our designer was great, he totally understood the brief and made some great suggestions, we implemented them all including knocking a big hole in one wall. Leanne was very helpful with everything regarding the payment schedule and contracts. We used Planets recommendation for the strip out and remediation work including new floors and plumbing, they did work together very well with Planet and between Frank and Neil resolved any issues. Our fitter was Craig who was exceptional - brilliant job. And last but certainly not least was Ellie who did an amazing job of all the hand finishing and painting. We have been delighted with the results and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Planet Furniture to anyone wishing to have a beautiful crafted kitchen for their home.

We dreamt of a bespoke handmade kitchen and had spent many a year popping in to the showroom to gaze longingly at them. When the time came for a consultation I made an appointment and had a very relaxed and helpful meeting with Andy, one of the highly experienced designers. I knew exactly what I wanted and required his professional opinion and expertise to assist me with bringing it all together. His plans were fantastic and it was fun to see it all on screen so we could invisage our future kitchen. We agreed on a budget and Andy kept within that and fortunately we had all of the things we wanted without having to knock anything off. Andy had the idea of us building the pantry area and them providing the cabinetry. This was something which could have proved so costly and out of our budget but with his idea we were able to have one and it looks fantastic. The kitchen was delivered on time and Craig the fitter was extremely helpful and skillful and we were confident at all times that it would all go smoothly. Ellie arrived at the end of the fit to hand paint it and when we arrived home from a weekend away it was completed we were left speechless. The kitchen is utterly stunning. Planet Furniture is an incredible company to deal with and I am proud to own a Planet kitchen and would recommend them to all and definitely use again.

We visited a few other high street kitchen suppliers but didn't really get the service or support we needed to design our kitchen -having never had a new kitchen, we needed some guidance! From the minute we walked into Planet, Ruth made us feel welcome and relaxed. Nothing was too much trouble and, from a fairly short and simple design consultation, Ruth designed our dream kitchen. I had confidence in Planet throughout the project, communication is great, they visited my building site twice to measure up. Finally Craig, the fitter, was polite, professional and friendly. I have already recommended Planet to others and would use them again in a heartbeat.

When we started planning our new kitchen, Planet Furniture was the first place I went to. I wasn’t 100% sure if I wanted traditional or modern as I liked both. I worked with Ruth, the designer, she looked at my Pinterest ideas and we narrowed it down to shaker and navy. When I saw the design, I totally fell in love with it! It was exactly what I envisaged. Ruth really thought about the functionality and nice little touches that were pleasing to the eye. I went round to about 4 other local independent kitchen suppliers and went through the process of getting quotes & designs but nothing even compared slightly to the Planet design. One of the amazing things about Planet is the software they use to design the kitchen. It looks like a photo and you can see exactly what you’re going to get! I also found that none of the other suppliers had the colour I was after, as I wanted a navy kitchen. The high street places hadn’t even got blue, the most up to date/on trend colour was dark grey. All the finishings were also so much more sophisticated than other suppliers. I would say you have to have a reasonable budget available but you won’t be disappointed. The service has also been excellent. The fitter was really friendly, kept me up to date on what was going on (as we weren’t living at the property when it was being fitted). Planet Furniture are definitely a top class, on trend place to get your kitchen.

I cannot stress enough how wonderful Planet Furniture are to work with. From the initial, wonderfully creative design by the superb Ruth Gray, to the final installation. Everything went so smoothly. All of the staff at Planet Furniture have great expertise and are extremely helfpful. The quality of the kitchen units are first class, with amazing attention to detail at an affordable price too. I absolutely adore my lovely new kitchen, it completely fulfills all mine and my family's needs and will do for many years to come. Thank you to all the staff at Planet Furniture, you're amazing.

Just had our kitchen finished and extremely happy with the final product. The staff at planet were extremely helpful and had some creative ideas that really enhanced our comparatively plain ideas. They were also rather patient with our chopping and changing. Very professional outfit extending all the way to the associated tradesmen. Can't fault much at all and I would happily use them again if we switch house.

We are incredibly pleased with our new Next 125 kitchen from Planet. The quality of the kitchen is excellent and we have had so many compliments from friends and family. The whole process from the initial design discussion with Ruth, our designer, to the final install was efficient and professional. We found everyone at Planet to be very friendly and helpful and although we had a minor issue with something for our utility room it was quickly and easily rectified. Planet were keen to ensure we were happy with everything and should we ever move house and need to install a new kitchen we wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. Very happy customers indeed!

I used planet for my kitchen, I found Ruth to be excellent and really understood what I was looking for and how to work with my small victorian property and how to turn it into something I feel is pretty amazing now. Have recommended them to friends who are now using them too.

From the design process through to the final fitting, Planet Furniture were extremely professional. The design not only provided practical solutions to meet my requirements but was also very aesthetic. They endeavoured to meet my budget yet provide a high quality kitchen. Furthermore I was able to choose and buy my own high quality appliances (thereby saving money and being able to recycle the old ones) which they were happy to fit. I was extremely impressed with the attention to detail, willingness to solve problems and the ability to work closely with my builder. This made a big difference to my overall extension project, the kitchen being a major part of it. Not only were they able to meet deadlines, they were also flexible when working with the builder. Overall, Planet furniture's approach was professional and enthusiastic and we developed an amicable working relationship. I would highly recommend this company.

After a lot of research, searching and talking with kitchen companies I came across Planet Furniture and I'm so pleased I found them. Andy the designer spent time with me listening to my requirements, ideas and budget to came up with a superb design. All the units including the custom designed chefs pantry were hand made in PK's own workshop to a very high standard and installed on time with the same care and attention, even receiving a full finish paint coat on site. 100% professional, no mess, no fuss and nothing much for me to do except supply the tea to the installation team! Well done to all the involved and a big thanks to all the team at PK.

They were excellent from start to finish. Andy (designer) visited our home and listened to how we lived and what we wanted to achieve from a new kitchen. His kitchen design presentation exactly matched our requirements and dealt with all areas of the kitchen to maximise storage without compromising on look. The job was then delivered on time and to budget and the team was a pleasure to work with throughout. Excellent workmanship and would highly recommend.

My experience is of an absolutely first class level of both service and finish from Planet Furniture. Having decided to specify and build the kitchen of a lifetime, we spent significant time researching our possible options. After meeting the PF team we were confident that the research had paid off, and subsequently the end result bears this out completely. Not only do we have the kitchen of our dreams, but the entire team (from Director to fitters) have all been professional, honest and accommodating of our build/timelines throughout (particularly of delays to the availability of the kitchen space to get started). Additionally, being a local company (to us), they have been available to make minor amends to our kitchen, as we have requested them, at very short notice. We would highly recommend.
