Schmidt - London

Jennifer

We are a cookery school and we needed a brand new kitchen and shelving for our venue. Alan & Olga did a fantastic job designing our new kitchen, shelving + cloakroom and the service was amazing. When our new furniture and fittings arrived onsite, Alan, the owner of the Islington shop personally came and did a stock take to make sure we have all the components. Schmidt furniture is very high quality and comes with a 10 year guarantee for piece of mind. I would highly recommend going to Schmidt Islington if you need a brand new kitchen or bespoke shelving & wardrobe.

Alan and team were very helpful in our search for the right kitchen appliances and for the best worktop. They went the extra mile in every occasion with excellent recommendations. Compared to all other kitchen showrooms in the area they provided the best customer service.

Schmidt Islington have just finished installing my new wardrobes and they look fantastic.

The team have been fantastic throughout with Toby’s design being perfectly executed and installed.

Alan has been diligent and polite throughout assisting in managing our install and ensuring our project is finished to a brilliant standard.

Really happy with our experience with Schmidt Islington. They designed a really great kitchen for my family which met all our needs, and they were able to do that because they really listened to us during the pre design consultation phase. We are very happy with the outcome. Alan is a really decent guy too and someone you can trust.

Our experience of the Schmidt team has been nothing but excellent. They were incredibly patient with us and essentially held our hands through what could have been a very stressful processes. They spent a lot of time with us to make sure we were happy with our design, offered us invaluable advice, and the final product is of high quality (everything arrived without any issues). The price was also very reasonable. We're renovating our entire home and we've had terrible experiences for much more with other trades. You'll get all round good value with Alan and co - we love our new kitchen.

We are delighted with our new kitchen bought from Schmidt Islington, designed by Olga Stratan. It is both beautiful and practical, has more storage and worktop than before while looking more spacious than before: see our before/ after pictures.
With Alan, the manager of Schmidt Islington, and Olga, it was "trust at first sight". After a meeting to write down our requirements, Olga was able to give us a good estimate of the cost and advised us on how to reduce them. She managed to lock in a discount so that we could take all our time to decide whether we wanted to go ahead or not and she came on site to take the precise measurements of our kitchen without asking for any downpayment.
Her detailed design was stunning from the first draft, respecting aesthetics and symmetry while following our requirements and optimising space. This was a challenge, since our kitchen area has a G shape with four corners. Nevertheless, she agreed to try a different drawing as we were trying to fit a base corner cabinet. After showing both to the family, we had to agree that Olga's original design was optimal and we finalised it with her.
Olga's talent not only lies in her designing skills but in her psychology too. From your wishes, she understands what you have in mind and gently convinces you of the best way to reach your desired result. She doesn't force you to the most expensive options but keeps quality and your satisfaction front of mind.
Alan and Olga helped us make choices all the way for appliances, worktop, tiles with their suppliers or others. They would tell us if they could match a good deal found on the internet or to go ahead with the deal. They could also point out if a deal was not as good as it looked because of import duties or else.
In a full kitchen refurbishment, you can be faced with unexpected problems but you can trust Alan and Olga to always find solutions to your advantage. Timings are honoured and prices are transparent.
The team of Schmidt Islington is small: you get to meet the other designers, who are also delightful and the whole team makes you feel at home. We recommend them without hesitation.
Now call us sad but we can't stop looking at our new kitchen in different lights and discovering new angles and tones of its beauty!

We had the pleasure to work with Olga at Schmidt who facilitated our purchase of our kitchen sink, tap, and water filter. Olga was always very generous in her advice (we're pretty indecisive!), offering great recommendations on what we should go for. Once we decided on an order, the Schmidt team was very responsive, and professional and walked us through the entire process. Would definitely recommend!

Kevana was fantastic and her support throughout the process was highly professional, polite and personal. Could not have hoped for more for our first kitchen and useful, considered advice. Quality was top and the team remained available throughout and after! Cannot recommend the Schmidt Islington team enough.
