When Wren may suit you
Wren may suit you if you want to see lots of kitchens in a large showroom, if you want a longer fitting guarantee, or if you want to buy during one of their sales.
A sale price is not always the cheapest price. A discount is only worth having if the final total is lower. Before you decide, get a like-for-like quote from both companies, including fitting, removal of your old kitchen and any extra work, and compare the full totals side by side.
