The rating of kitchen manufacturers is somewhat subjective, but still useful, because... allows you to protect yourself from unreliable companies and save time, because You won’t have to lose it on dubious offers.
It is never possible to determine the quality of a purchase with one hundred percent certainty. Just as it is impossible to say how the furniture will behave during operation. Kitchens that look identical at first glance and are made from the same material can last for different amounts of time. It's all about production technologies and processing of raw materials. This is what determines the quality of the future product.
To be as objective as possible, we rated several well-known brands on a five-point scale. Based on the points scored, the 2021 rating was formed:
Company | Price level | Service* | Range | Reviews irecommend | Points of sale | Sum of points |
IKEA (Sweden) | 5 | 3 | 2 | 4,7 | 5 | 19,7 |
Leroy Merlin (France) | 5 | 3 | 3 | 4,2 | 4 | 19,2 |
CALL (Belarus) | 3 | 3 | 5 | 4,3 | 3 | 18,3 |
Stylish kitchens (Russia) | 2 | 5 | 5 | 4,8 | 1 | 17,8 |
Zetta (Russia) | 2 | 5 | 5 | 4,4 | 1 | 17,4 |
Maria (Russia) | 2 | 3 | 5 | 3,9 | 3 | 16,9 |
This is a rating of kitchen furniture manufacturers that have established themselves in the market and have established their brand among buyers in Russia and around the world. The best manufacturers were evaluated and selected according to the following criteria:
- price level (determines accessibility to as many consumers as possible). 5 points – low prices, 1 – high;
- service;
- real customer reviews.
* The service is evaluated according to the following indicators: free measurements; delivery, assembly and installation; long warranty period; possibility to take out an installment plan or a loan).

Currently, the production area of the enterprise alone occupies more than 113 thousand square meters. m., and the annual turnover exceeded 600 million euros in 2021. The company is rightfully proud of many awards, the latest of which is the Red Dot Award 2021. The official website presents a wide range of ready-made kitchens in the Classic/ART and Systemat/ART collections. The brand is the winner of our review.

- wide range of models;
- high quality;
- There is an online planner on the official website.
Flaws
- high price.
Deutsche Kuche
Rating: 4.9
Furniture from the German company Deutsche Kuche appeared in our country in 2005, thanks to a successful joint project between Russian investors and designers from Germany. Experts consider high quality, classy materials and advanced style solutions to be the hallmarks of the brand. At the same time, the manufacturer builds a competent pricing policy, allowing wide sections of the population in Russia to appreciate German practicality. The catalog presents many models that differ in the finishing of their facades. There is furniture with plastic or acrylic coating; lovers of the classics are offered furniture made of solid wood.
According to users, Deutsche Kuche kitchens perfectly combine practicality, compactness and ease of maintenance. One of the shortcomings is the delay in delivery.

- German quality;
- reasonable prices;
- practicality;
- rich assortment.
Flaws
- Order fulfillment deadlines are missed.
Leicht
Rating: 4.8
Experts discovered many unique solutions from the German kitchen manufacturer Leicht. The brand's products are easily recognized among numerous competitors.

Push-to-open fittings make the appearance of the furniture stylish and laconic. Modern materials are used in the manufacture of kitchens; they have made it possible to increase the interior space of the furniture while maintaining strength. The brand takes third place in our review, because it has few representative offices in our country.
Consumers most admire handleless kitchens, the practicality and ergonomics of the models. But buying German headsets in the regions is quite difficult.

- unique developments;
- modern materials;
- a lot of interior space;
- high-quality assembly.
Flaws

Bulthaup
Rating: 4.7
Bulthaup focuses on functionality when developing kitchen systems. A striking example is the Bulthaup b2 model. Three-section furniture can accommodate dishes and food, a hob and sink, as well as kitchen appliances. The manufacturer came up with its own concept of b-architecture, which takes into account the needs of people at different times of their lives. The factory was founded by Martin Bulthaup in 1949, when there was a shortage of production capacity in Bavaria.
Reviews from Russian users highlight such advantages of Bulthaup kitchens as versatility, non-standardity and unique technology. Consumers are not satisfied with the small range (3 models) and high price.

- compactness and spaciousness;
- unique technologies;
- non-standard approaches to design;

The brand failed to rise higher in the review due to a poor assortment. There are three basic models, but the modular architecture allows you to adjust the set to the area of any room. The Urban collection is simple and compact. The Pure series stands out for its maximum ease of use. And the Classic headset combines comfort and practicality.
Not all users can afford luxury SieMatic furniture. In addition, the brand still has few representative offices in Russia.
Advantages
- elegant design;
- practicality and functionality;
- high quality;
- compactness.
Flaws
- high price;
- poor assortment.

A distinctive feature of Yavid kitchens is considered to be a pleasant texture, the use of high-quality materials, and ergonomic models. However, in the catalog you can only find premium products made from solid oak.

Factory "Stylish Kitchens"
A Russian company that has a huge selection of both classic and modern designs.

For residents of the regions, purchasing a kitchen from this manufacturer will be unprofitable and impractical due to transportation costs. Sales points are located only in Moscow and St. Petersburg. But the company has ambitious plans for the development of the network in the future.
