Absolutely fantastic service from The Kitchen Depot in Oxford. Very welcoming from the off and we were given very open and honest advice. Our designer Sarah was great and really patient with us and came up with great ideas to bring our vision alive. Including colour matching a section of our kitchen to our SMEG appliance. The fitter were really good, talking us through the options and happy to make any changes we needed too. We are thrilled with the result.
If you are looking for a new designed kitchen then we highly recommend the Kitchen Depot Oxford. One of the things that impressed us the most was Chris's ability to understand our budget and find creative ways to get within it. Chris created and designed our perfect kitchen including a breakfast bar. Thank you Kitchen Depot.
Absolutely fantastic service from beginning to end. Tea and Sarah gave me all the time and support I needed to make choices for my first ever kitchen refurb. There was no hard sell, but instead clear explanation of choices, with a readiness to save me money where helpful. The fitter, Paul, was utterly professional, and went above and beyond to understand my needs and the idiosyncrasies of the space. I'd always imagined that getting a new kitchen would be something to endure, but instead it was an experience to enjoy, thanks to such a kind, competent and good-humoured team.
We had a great experience with Kitchen Depot - Oxford Branch from start to finish. Tea, our designer, was superb — she listened, understood what we wanted, and came up with practical ideas that genuinely improved the layout. No sales pressure, just clear advice and a really professional approach. The fitting team from Bicester were equally impressive. They worked efficiently, kept everything tidy, and delivered a high‑quality finish with real attention to detail. Overall, Kitchen Depot Oxford Branch made the whole process enjoyable, straightforward and stress‑free. We’re extremely pleased with the final result and happy to recommend them.
After looking at a few companies online we decided to pop in to the Kitchen Depot, Oxford branch as I had seen good reviews for them by people I knew in the local area. On arrival we were warmly met by Tea, who was finishing off a design for another client and pointed us to the display area and invited us to have a look around while she finished up and then we could sit and chat. We saw a colour scheme and style we liked, so we sat down with Tea and showed her some photos of our existing kitchen. She booked us in for a home visit to measure up and draw up some ideas. We didn't think there was much she would be able to do differently due to the kitchen being quite small and we have an awkward corner where the stairs cut through the ceiling which we had no clue what to do with other than boxing it in. Tea told us she would have a think and see what she could come up with. We went back in a few days after her visit and she had proposed moving the sink by about a foot which meant she managed to fit in an extra cupboard on that side and she also had incorporated an additional cupboard above the fridge. As for the awkward corner, Tea proposed a cupboard below the stair section and then use the above section as a book or display area. We loved the idea and Tea looked genuinely chuffed that something she had come up with was so warmly received - it highlighted the fact that she had thought about the design and it wasn't a rinse and repeat. She was fully upfront with all costs, gave us a quote and we decided to go ahead. The fitter team Tea booked in for us, Matty and Ringo, had called in for a final measure and viewing of the area prior to us signing the final paperwork. Now as for the fitters, they are independent teams and we could not have been happier with our guys. Between them they did the electrics, plumbing, fitted the cupboard and worktops and did the tiling. They already had someone booked in for plastering and when they discovered a capped off gas pipe from our previous boiler which was in the way (there was no way Tea or the fitters would have seen it on survey as it was behind our tumble dryer) they had a gas engineer on site the next day to sort it. The attention to detail Matty and Ringo had was exceptional. As an example, we had requested new faceplates for our existing sockets so they all matched and when swapping them over one backbox was a few millimeters lower than the other's. It was pointed out to me when I offered them a cuppa and even though I could barely see the difference and it would be behind our microwave, Matty said he would put the plate on and see how it looks. 2 minutes later from the other room I heard him say to Ringo “nope - can't leave it like that - it's being fixed”. The pride they took in every aspect was above and beyond. So, to summarise the design was brilliant, fitting was exceptional and the working relationship between the fitters and the Kitchen Depot meant everything went according to plan and we are delighted with the outcome. We can't recommend The Kitchen Depot, Oxford highly enough!
By the time we found Oxford Kitchen Depot, we had visited several other kitchen outfitters and were feeling confused and exhausted, but Tea was fantastic from the start and helped us feel we could achieve what we wanted. She helped us with the design, choice of cabinets, colours, door knobs, appliances - everything! She was delightful to work with and even managed to remain patient with us when we needed a boost. She could not have been more helpful and supportive. She even helped us get a fairly big discount on our appliances! We are thrilled with the final result and have had many compliments from friends and people wanting to know where we got it.
We were looking to replace a 25 year old kitchen, but were rather lost by the amount of firms on the market. Also by the differing array of kitchen styles, colours, finishes, added touches. We approched some big highstreet names and were not impressed by the hard sell and lack of customer service. We felt second best in our own ideas. We were drawn to Kitchen depot through them being a family run firm and have had many years in the industry. From meeting Tea in the Kingston Bagpuize depot she could not have been more welcoming and helpful in the journey designing our kitchen. We never felt under pressure to step up our price range and Tea helped us work to get the best final design and finish within our budget. Tea patiently talked us through the differing options in every aspect of our kitchen, colours, styles, finishes, additions, even down to the different options of cupboard handles. We felt very well respected as a customer and that our thoughts and final decisions were paramount, which had not been the case in the major highstreet suppliers. When it came to fitting the kitchen, the building firm that Tea arranged were excellent. From their first meeting with us through to the end of the work they took absolute pride in their work and went above and beyond to get the final finish we were seeking. They were very respectful in our home and really friendly through the works. I would employ them both to do more works for me round our house in future, which we already have done. In the end the final result was everything we had hoped for. The cabinets are amazing quality. Absolutely solid, with loads of storage options and a great look. It was amazing to see the project transform from pictures on Tea's planning sheets to a functional and very well designed and built kitchen. Thank you. Overall I cannot recommend highly enough.
