Kitchen and two cabinets in Stylish Kitchens. Should you worry about quality?
Hi all! Today I want to tell you about the Stylish Kitchens furniture factory .
Quite recently, my boyfriend and I moved to a new apartment. We bought a resale apartment in a newly renovated building, with only a furnished kitchen.
The owners did everything for themselves, but circumstances changed so much that they were forced to sell the apartment. They ordered the kitchen from Stylish Kitchens.
They also planned to order a cabinet for the hallway from Stylish Kitchens, they even created a design for it, which they eventually shared with us, but they didn’t have time to order it. They highly praised this Factory and were completely satisfied with the quality and service of the company.
Therefore, when we had a question about purchasing cabinets for the hallway and bedroom, we turned to Stylish Kitchens based on a recommendation.

Sales showrooms:
Stylish Kitchen sales showrooms are located in Moscow and the Moscow region, as well as in St. Petersburg. I will talk about the sales showroom in Mytishchi MO, where we ordered everything. It is located at Olympic Avenue, 31A.
The salon is quite large, pleasant, furnished with a large number of samples of products from the Stylish Kitchens factory. In the showroom you can clearly see samples of kitchen furniture facades and other products, fittings, etc.
All Stylish Kitchen salons are open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. The opening hours are very good, you can stop by after work without any problems and have time to get everything done.
Managers and service:
The former owners of the apartment shared with us their project for a hallway closet, as well as the contacts of the manager with whom they worked. The manager turned out to be a girl, and we turned to her.
All managers are also designers. The design of the furniture you need is created on a computer and saved in their database.

We were very pleased with the manager's work. She easily found an existing project in the database, reworked it according to our wishes and saved it in the database in our name. Then, in the same way, we created a design for a closet for the bedroom.
I liked that we were not rushed; we spent a lot of time in the salon, two hours at first, and the same amount on other days. The manager offered us various options, intelligently answered all our questions, advised us on what would be the best course of action, guided us through the samples presented in the salon, and even suggested options on how we could save money without losing functionality.
What I would like to note is that the salons are very popular. There are many managers, and when we were in the salon, almost all of them were busy. So, it is better to make an appointment in advance.
As soon as you arrive at the salon, you will be offered tea/coffee and cookies. And at any time you can take sweets, which are freely available in plates in the salon.
Ordering and prices:
We came to the salon with the goal of ordering two wardrobes at once - for the hallway and the bedroom. First, we corrected the design of the cabinet in the hallway, and they calculated the price for us - 87 thousand rubles. This price suited us quite well, since according to the previous project of the former owners the price was 120 thousand rubles, and we were already set on it.
But then we calculated the design of the cabinet for the room, and the price personally killed me - 120 thousand. Initially, we did not plan to spend more than 60 thousand rubles at all. for a closet in the room and considered ready-made options, but I was not satisfied with the configuration of the cabinets, so we decided to make it to order as well.
We decided to order a wardrobe for the hallway right away. To put furniture into production, it is necessary to make an advance payment of 20 percent of the cost of the cabinet. The remaining amount must be paid 10 days before delivery. The price of furniture already includes measuring, delivery and assembly services.
The production time for furniture to order is 1.5 months. I was very upset when I heard this number. I wanted to do everything quickly, since it’s sad to live without cabinets, and at the time of ordering we had already moved into an apartment, but there was no choice, we had to wait.
After placing your order, a measurer should come to you. The measurer contacts you directly and you agree on a time.
The measurer called us 4 days after placing the order. The measurer, who is also a designer, draws up specifications and drawings of furniture that will go into production.
Therefore, you discuss everything with him again if any questions suddenly arise. The price may change after measurement, since the project is created based on your preliminary approximate measurements.
For us, this price has not changed, since we had accurate measurements from the previous owners.
After the surveyor arrived, they called us back about a week later and asked us to come to the office to sign and pick up the completed papers and set a delivery date. We were given a delivery date in less than a month. That is, 1.5 months is the period from the moment of contacting the salon.
After exact measurements, the wardrobe in the hallway was recalculated for us at 90 thousand. We thought for several days, went to other salons to calculate the same project, although the prices were lower, but not much, and we did not want to risk the quality.
When I read reviews of other well-known organizations, my hair stood on end from the heap of negative reviews. And in the end, we decided to order a second cabinet also from Stylish Kitchens.
True, we finalized the project a little more, added more drawers, reduced the price a little in some places without sacrificing quality, the manager helped us with this. She suggested where we can save money without losing anything.
The final price of our wardrobe for the bedroom turned out to be 100 thousand rubles.
Both cabinets were delivered to us exactly on time; it was impossible to discuss the delivery time in advance, so we had to arrange delivery on the weekend, when we could definitely be at home. A few days in advance you will be contacted and an estimated delivery time will be discussed.
What I didn’t like is that the cabinet is not assembled on the day of delivery, and the time is also inconvenient for workers. For example, the wardrobe in the hallway was delivered to us on Sunday, but we had to arrange the assembly only a week later on Saturday. All week the closet in the hallway lay like this.
Everything worked out better with the wardrobe for the bedroom, we arranged for delivery on Saturday, and on Sunday it was already installed for us.

When placing an order, you will be given a certificate for a 5 percent discount on the order price . We took advantage of this small discount when purchasing a wardrobe for our bedroom. We were also given a certificate for the second cabinet.
Payment options:
There are several payment options. We used three methods. In the salon we paid for the order through the terminal and through the cash register.
Expectation/reality:
First, I will show you photos of the projects and tell you in a few words about them.
Wardrobe in the hallway:
We were very pleased with the result; the cabinet fit perfectly into the wall, as if it was there originally. The only negative is that during installation they did not provide us with a door that covers the wires and shield, as the fasteners were mixed up.
Wardrobe in the bedroom:
The contents are also simple, 4 chest of drawers, 6 small shelves and three large ones, two rails for hangers. We didn’t make a side wall; the roof, like the closet in the hallway, is there because of the suspended ceiling. The width and height of the cabinet are approximately the same as the cabinet in the hallway, but the depth is greater - 60 cm.
Both cabinets were installed with closers in the doors and drawers, and the top shelves in the hallway cabinet were without handles and opened with a simple press. All these mechanisms are expensive, but they are much more convenient.
I’ll also say a few words about the kitchen, which although we didn’t order, we actively use. We are very pleased with it, I don’t know how we would have made it, but we are completely satisfied with what we have.
All drawers and doors with closers, without handles, open with one click. By the way, one of the colors of the facades is the same as that of the cabinet in the hallway.
There are a lot of cabinets, all the appliances are built-in (dishwasher, refrigerator, hob, oven and microwave), there is a bottle holder, which in addition to bottles we also use for storing household products, it’s very convenient, I spotted this life hack from Lena Khvostikova in her review to the kitchen.
Installation:
Both cabinets were installed in the same amount of time - 5 hours. The installer partially assembled the wardrobe in the hallway in the hallway at the entrance, arguing that it would not disturb us and that there was more space there. Thanks to this, there was almost no dirt after installation.
The installers drilled into the walls and used vacuum cleaners to reduce dirt; I really liked this fact.
In general, there are no complaints about the installation.
All furniture and mechanisms are given a 5-year warranty , this is a huge plus, since we asked some other budget organizations, but the managers kept this information silent.
Let's summarize:
- large sales showrooms
- individual approach
- qualified personnel
- good service
- quality materials
- guarantee
- timely delivery and installation
- production time 1.5 months
- no option to choose delivery time
- high prices
I recommend the furniture factory Stylish Kitchens . Excellent quality and good service, it's worth paying money for it so you don't have to worry about what the end result will be. We were pleased with everything and did not regret ordering furniture from Stylish Kitchens.
Thank you all for your attention, your Dasha ❤
Selection of sizes. What requires special attention?
An important criterion for taking into account the dimensions for models of floor cabinets is their ease of use and the choice of physical parameters: the depth of the model, the width and height of the kitchen module.

How to choose a bathroom for the kitchen?
It is customary to take a standard cabinet height of 80 cm. In the case of an individual order, it can be higher or lower than the specified standard. When calculating the height, it is worth taking into account the height of the user of this headset. The tabletop is held in place by the body of the cabinet. Therefore, adjustments should be made, if necessary, to ensure ease of use.
The design of the legs of the design model should also be taken into account. If they are not covered with a panel, then it is advisable to make them no lower than 10-15 cm, which can ensure maximum ease of cleaning in the room.
When a set of household appliances is located between the structures, drawers are installed that serve as an alternative replacement for the plinth and are used for storing various kitchen utensils.
The width is set within 35-75 cm, adhering to the guideline of a specific module. For large kitchen interior items, a roomy model is suitable; a narrow model of the set will be useful for slightly oversized household accessories.
The depth of the model of the selected set directly depends on the width of the tabletop, which has a common standard size of 65-70 cm, and for individual order it can reach 100-120 cm.
In kitchens where space is limited, a standard cabinet will not be appropriate. It will be necessary to reduce the depth of the bottom row for economy, and use a wall cabinet.

Review of stylish kitchen cabinets and their features
It is rare to find sliding wardrobes in the dining area in stylish kitchens, and vice versa, they imply the use of furniture for different purposes. These products look original and beautiful in the workspace; they are spacious and attractive in appearance.
To choose a cabinet with sliding doors for the kitchen, you need to understand the types of models and placement rules.
Selection of material and color of the model
The body of the kitchen cabinet is chipboard because it has the characteristics of strength, durability, and is easy to maintain. For the doors of the product, the material chosen is more beautiful, it can be glass, MDF, light metal. Models of combined assembly of materials for a product look harmonious. MDF materials with glass and metal molds are widely used. What is typical for their use in interiors of different styles, from the usual classic and Provence to the highly technological high-tech style.
Currently, there is a wide range of styles and colors available, but it is better to choose your own specific shade for the model that will match your taste.
An attractive option would be the difference in the color palette of the top and bottom rows. Then, dark shades are chosen for floor structures, and bright shades for hanging structures, which creates freedom of space, saturated with the color of air and light.
For small kitchen spaces, the set is chosen in light colors, since the difference in the tone of painting the walls in a dark color and the presence of a light product will create a visually expanded space. Selecting the right approach to choosing a style for placing interior products under modules can simulate the artificial space of a room. Add it or reduce it.

Your kitchen will delight and delight your guests, and will give you many pleasant impressions.
Varieties
Decorating kitchens with sliding wardrobes is a rare phenomenon. That is why there are very few ready-made options on the consumer market. Users who equip their kitchen area with such a product often order furniture according to individual drawings with a clearly selected design. Kitchen cabinets with sliding doors can be divided into 2 types:
- built-in - such models are most optimal for placement in large kitchens. Having a free niche, you can easily fit the cabinet into the room. The model has advantages, including huge capacity, a variety of internal contents, and the ability to use the product as a storage room. The user himself decides how high the shelves will be, how many drawers are needed to place utensils, and whether hooks are needed. Sliding doors in this design are mounted at the end of the wall and ride on roller guides located on the floor;
- cabinet - a stationary sliding wardrobe is suitable for small-sized kitchens. Its dimensions can also vary according to the preferences of the owners, however, it is much easier to find such a ready-made model than a built-in one. The contents of this option usually contain shallow shelves and a small number of drawers.
According to the shape, cabinet models are angular and rectangular. The first option is appropriate in the case of a free unused corner in the kitchen. The interior of such a cabinet is spacious, but it is inconvenient to place dishes here.
DIY wardrobe: preparation
The first step is to create a drawing yourself or select a suitable option on the Internet. It is necessary to carefully consider the internal content, the dimensions of the sections and the height of the shelves, as well as the material of the body and doors. The cabinet must be tied to the existing dimensions of the walls or niche into which it is built.
The number and dimensions of doors are calculated based on the length of the wardrobe. But here, too, there are certain standards that must be adhered to:
- The width of one door should be within 600-700 mm. If the sash is too large, this can lead to distortion of the structure. Large weight will put pressure on the roller system, which will lead to problems with opening.
- The overlap of the doors should be no more than 50-70 mm, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to use the cabinet, since the interior space will be blocked by the doors.
- When designing a built-in wardrobe with your own hands, you should know that sliding doors “eat up” 100 mm of internal space. This must be taken into account when drawing up a drawing and planning the depth of shelves and drawers.
Materials for work may require:
- confirmations and stubs;
- screws or nails for attaching the back wall;
- adjustable or non-adjustable supports;
- guides for drawers (if they are included in the design);
- rods and holders for them;
- rails and rollers for sliding doors;
- handles for drawers;
In addition, you can purchase ready-made accessories in the store, for example: pantographs, holders for belts and ties, trouser holders, mesh pull-out baskets, shoe racks, etc.
It is important to accurately calculate the material that will be required for the body and shelves of the wardrobe. Its cutting and processing can be done at home or ordered from a furniture company. It is better to make sliding doors to order, especially if the inserts are glass, mirrors or decorative panels.
Manufacturing materials
Depending on the design of the kitchen cabinet, the materials used to make it will vary. For example, a built-in model is often made of plasterboard, and the owner can make the frame for installation himself.

This material is attached to pre-prepared metal profiles using self-tapping screws. After this, the niche is finished and the cabinet itself is built in.
When considering stationary compartments, it is worth highlighting the following manufacturing materials:
- natural wood;
- wood materials - chipboard, MDF, fiberboard.
Solid wood is rightfully considered beautiful and environmentally friendly. Not only does it have an elegant structure, but it emits a unique aroma long after the furniture is installed.
Such raw materials are reliable and practical and do not cause allergies. Solid wood has a peculiarity: it is difficult to process and easily absorbs moisture, so before purchasing a product for the kitchen, it is worth checking about the moisture resistance of the furniture.
Chipboard and fibreboard are widely used for the production of built-in and stationary wardrobes. They are affordable, have a variety of designs, and are wear-resistant.
All cabinet filling is made from these materials. MDF is used to decorate door facades.
At the user's request, they can have a glossy or matte surface, be grooved or smooth.
If you plan to install a mirror on one of the compartment doors, consider not placing the cabinet next to the stove.
Sliding
These include:
- Built-in cabinets are cabinets that do not have backs, side backs, floors or ceilings. Instead, the main ones are the walls of the room. The biggest advantage of these cabinets is that it hides all the unevenness of the walls, ceilings and floors. If the room is small in size, then such furniture will not steal much space, but on the contrary, unnecessary space can be organized as a closet. The only drawback is that in order to rearrange it, there will be difficulties; you will need to adjust the shelves to the desired size.
- Semi-built-in is a cabinet that has one or two side walls, which is how it differs from built-in. The advantage and feature of the cabinet is that it will not tip over due to the fact that all internal shelves and partitions are attached directly to the wall.
- A cabinet cabinet is practically no different from a regular hinged cabinet, except for the doors. The big plus is that it is easy to move it to another place without disassembling it, and when moving, it will not be a hassle to disassemble it. Disadvantage: when installing such furniture, a perfectly flat surface is required to avoid distortions and deformations, which may prevent the sliding system from working. The price of such a cabinet increases due to the addition of material.
Posting rules
Stylish kitchens with sliding wardrobes are an original method of interior design. By choosing the right place to install this piece of furniture, you can completely transform the design of the room. To install built-in models, it is necessary to have a niche or unused space where the construction of a cabinet is allowed.
To install the cabinet according to all the rules, it is recommended to pay attention to the following tips:
- place the compartment along the wall opposite the window - this will give you a better view when accessing the dishes;
- installation near the kitchen door will hide the cabinet from the view of guests;
- if there is a large area, it is recommended to install a U-shaped compartment above the door and on the sides of it;
- with the help of a cabinet you can easily divide the kitchen into zones - then the product on the blind side should have a corresponding design.
The sliding wardrobe must be mounted so that there is easy access to the doors. Do not place the product near heating radiators.
Build process
The first step is to assemble the outer walls of the structure in a horizontal position. They must be attached to the bottom and top panel using confirmats or furniture corners. Supports must be secured to the bottom. If the back wall is supposed to be made of fiberboard, then it is attached using self-tapping screws, nails or a stapler.
The structure should be placed in a niche or other place intended for it. The correct installation horizontally and vertically is checked using a building level. Afterwards you can begin attaching the transverse partitions and shelves. Furniture corners or confirmations are also used for fastening them.
Next, you should install the accessories: mesh pull-out baskets, drawers, various holders, rods, trousers, etc. The final stage is the fastening of the guides and the compartment doors themselves. Using the same principle, you can make a cabinet from plasterboard with your own hands. In this case, the drywall will serve as a kind of structural basis or niche, and the internal filling will consist of shelves, drawers and other fittings.
You can make a built-in wardrobe from plasterboard or other material with your own hands, but to do this you must first familiarize yourself with the steps of the work on the Internet and prepare the necessary materials and tools. Self-production will require time and effort, but it guarantees the quality of the furniture and the reliability of the design.
Nuances of choice
The main parameters of a kitchen cabinet are functionality, aesthetic appearance and durability. In addition, the product should not be afraid of moisture. In the photo below you can see examples of original sliding wardrobes for the kitchen area. When choosing a model, pay attention to the following criteria:
- material - traditionally cabinets are made from laminated chipboard - they are reliable and durable, resistant to moisture. Pay attention to the edge along all visible ends of the product - it will help protect the wood from damage;
- mechanisms - there are two types - roller and monorail. The first option for door movement involves moving them along grooves, which periodically move and require correction. The monorail mechanism is easy to use, as it is securely fixed in the structure;
- dimensions - if the kitchen is small, a sliding wardrobe can completely replace the entire working set. All you have to do is order a cooking surface and the kitchen is ready;
- color palette - from a practical point of view, you should not choose white and light colors for kitchen furniture - they are too easily soiled. Give preference to bright or subdued colors.
Installing a wardrobe in the kitchen is a good solution for small spaces. The built-in model will be relevant if there is a large area, as well as for placing a lot of dishes and accessories.
