Why a kitchen from Turkey here in particular
Luxembourg and Switzerland have the highest price levels in Europe: according to the Swiss Federal Statistical Office, the 2022 price level was about 57% above the EU average in Switzerland and about 31% above in Luxembourg. A lacquered custom kitchen is priced accordingly. Turkey is among the G20 countries with a clear competitive advantage in furniture (Üçüncü and Bayram, 2026), and for customised furniture price explains about half of the buying decision and delivery time about one fifth (Lihra, Buehlmann and Graf, 2012). That is why our quotation shows price, lead time and, on request, freight on one page.

Materials and climate
Wood-based panels are among the main sources of indoor formaldehyde (Salthammer, Mentese and Marutzky, 2010); since 6 August 2026 the EU applies a limit of 0.062 mg/m³ to furniture (Regulation (EU) 2023/1464). We use E1 boards and name the board in the quotation. The USDA Forest Products Laboratory recommends about 8% wood moisture content for interior woodwork in temperate climates (Bergman, 2021); for heated apartments in Zurich or Luxembourg we prepare veneer and solid wood accordingly.
