What is a free-standing kitchen?
A free-standing kitchen is when the kitchen units are not attached to each other or to the wall as they would be in a conventional kitchen. This is the way kitchens used to be, back in the day. In conventional fitted kitchens the kitchen is stuck permanently on to the wall. Nothing can be moved. If you had to remove them from the wall, they would fall apart and you would be left with a whole lot of chipboard sheets, some doors and top. It would look something like the below.
When you buy a Milestone Kitchen you are buying kitchen furniture as stand-alone pieces. The units are self-supported, they do not need to be attached to the wall to stop them from falling apart. Although many of our kitchens take on the appearance of a permanently installed kitchen, there is always the possibility to rearrange the floor plan if you want to. Sink Units will require plumbing and Stove Units may need basic electrical work, but most are free to move as you wish.
Wall Units are obviously attached to the wall but they are attached to the wall in much the same way as a framed picture is. You could move this too if you feel like it. Free-standing kitchens are becoming popular with good reason. They offer greater flexibility and the freedom to change things when the mood takes you or necessity demands. It’s even possible to fit castor wheels on most of our floor units for even easier repositioning. On a budget? A freestanding Milestone Kitchen can also be bought piece-by-piece, with additional units added when cash flow allows.
