Kitchens by Leroy Merlin - reference for customers

The main plus of Leroy Merlin's cuisine is the super low prices. Judge for yourself: the cheapest model from a chipboard direct 3-meter kitchen costs from 8 tr. (without regard to technology and plumbing) - this is an excellent option for giving or renting a house. Also in Leroy Merlin, there are more high-end cuisines - beautiful and high-quality, but they are relatively inexpensive - from 50 tr. for a 3-meter suite. In the conventional "Mary" or "Ikea" kitchen of the same size will cost at least 100 tr.

Such an attractive price attracts and frightens at the same time. Let's find out whether the proverb "miser pays twice" is applicable to the kitchen sets of the world retailer. And those who have already started to look closely, we invite you to get ideas on designing and to consider photos of kitchens of Leroy Merlin in the interior.

Brief information

Manufacture of components and furniture:Russia and China.

Guarantee period:25 years in the kitchen under the trademark "Delinia the rest of the headsets - 2 years.

Life time:5 years (ready kitchens). Information on the life of the project kitchens, we did not find, but the 25-year warranty period says that the headset should last at least 10 years.

Pros:

In addition to accessibility, the cuisine of Leroy Merlin has the following advantages:

• Express purchase of furniture.Details of the designed / ready headset can be taken home on the day of purchase. Thus, in 2-3 days it can be fully assembled and ready for use. By the way, even if some components from your project are not in stock on the day of purchase, they can be delivered in just a week or ten days. In other factories, making kitchen takes an average of a month.
• Facades of decent quality- nice design, with even bevels and a good decorative layer. In the assortment there are even facades with veneered facades made of oak, ash and pine.
• Warranty 25 years(on the headset Delinia brand). In this kitchen, Leroy Merlin won all the domestic factories and corresponded to the Swedish Ikeja.
• Ease of assembly(fasteners are included), especially with even walls and floors.
• The possibility of self-design kitchen headset online.

Disadvantages:

• The quality of the frames made of chipboard (both designed and finished kitchens) leaves much to be desired.
• Judging by the reviews, the fittings of the kitchens (Indaux trademark) are only 1-3 years old. However, there are positive reactions to them.

• Often the details of the headset come across with a marriage. Fortunately, in most cases defective parts can be changed.
• Expensive assembly. It is not performed by Leroy Merlin, but by the shop's contractors.

• To design a set and to arrange its purchase, you first need to get to the designer-designer by appointment or defending a long queue.

• Project kitchens, though they imply fitting the headset to the dimensions and features of the room, but still it does not always work out perfectly, because the dimensions of the modules are standard.
• The film of the housings is afraid of the heat of the heated oven. To avoid its deformation and melting, we recommend to buy an oven with blowing of external walls.

Types of headsets:they are modular (ready) and designed. Let's consider both options in more detail.

About modular kitchens

These are ready-made direct kitchens that do not require a design. All you need to do is to assemble the kit from the lockers as a children's designer. Presented in only 11 designs. The frame is made of chipboard, facades - from chipboard, MDF and MDF with veneer. Important bonuses:

1. A ready-made combination can be ordered online on the site and personally seen in the store.
2. Each cabinet / drawer is conveniently packed in a separate box with all accessories - hinges, handles, table tops, etc.

By the way, about the countertop: notice that each pedestal has its own. When the headset is completely assembled, the countertops of the floor modules are connected with special slats (see Fig. photo below). Unfortunately, this somewhat complicates the cleaning (mud gets clogged in the crack) and increases the risk of chipboard swelling. Therefore, we recommend to change the "native" countertops on a single cloth of a better material.

Another tip. The finished kitchens of Leroy Merlin besides the table top have two weak points:

1. Loops (they do not have door closers and are not too reliable).
2. Plastic legs (often they do not stand the weight of the modules and their contents and break down).

To extend the life of the kitchen, we recommend changing the "native" legs and loops to better ones.

Below in the photo slider you can see other options for designing ready-made cuisines Leroy Merlin from the catalog in 2018 (scroll the photo to the right).

About design kitchens (TM "Delinia")

These kitchens are analogous to the Ikea suite. Modules have standard sizes from 15 to 80 cm and are selected for the needs of the buyer and the size of the room. You can choose all the details - from the handles to the filling. In the catalog of facades there are more than 30 collections in different styles and from different materials.

Another 5 tips for designing and choosing a kitchen Leroy Merlin

1. Do you want to refine your budget kitchen so that no one guesses that it was bought in Leroy Merlin? Choose solid and stylish handles (perhaps not in LM), install a quality worktop and plinth. Also of great importance in the perception of the kitchen is an apron. So, for example, this "Maise" set in the photo below in combination with a stylish tile "boar" looks like it was bought in a salon of Italian furniture.

Also, the set can be decorated with decor.

Sahara Kitchen with décor

1. Keep in mind that the facades of one model, but of different colors, can be combined with each other. For example, the white facades of the "Fence" will fit well with the facades of "Fence Mint and the light facades "Frame" - with the dark ones of the same series (see. photo-example below).

1. If your kitchen is small and tight, then when planning a corner set, one of the sides should be made narrower - a depth of 35 cm, instead of the standard 60 cm. Unfortunately, in the assortment of Leroy narrow lockers do not... but there are hinged. If you buy a knife and a plinth to this module, you will get a 35-centimeter cabinet with the same appearance as the other pedestals. The photo below shows an example of a Nice headset with such a cunning solution.

Buy a design kitchen can only be in the hypermarket, the online store does not provide such an opportunity.

1. Increase the quality and service life of the project kitchen by installing instead of loops Leroy Merlin better loops with closers or lifting and tilting mechanisms, for example, the company Blum or Hettich. In Leroy Merlin also has hinges with door closers, which make it easy to open, smoothly close and lock the doors in any position, but they are not too reliable.
2. When purchasing a countertop in another store, keep in mind that the depth of the floor cabinets of Leroy Merlin's sets is not standard 60 cm, but slightly less - 56 cm.
