Can you tell me the cost of MDF kitchen units as against chipboard units in general. A salesman told me that a £13,000 kitchen in MDF would only cost about £7,500 in chipboard as it was an inferior material.
 
Price of a sheet of 18mm chipboard about £6.50

Price of a sheet of 18mm mdf £8.70.

Difference of £2.20 per 8' x 4' sheet.

Therefore your kitchen would need to be made from 2,500 sheets to make a price difference of £5,500!

MDF is superior to chipboard but it's not worth spending all that extra.
 
Difference between melamine faced chipboard & melamine faced MDF is nearer £6.00 a sheet but you would still need a lot of sheets to get to what the salesman says.

Most of the cost is usually in the doors & accessories like plinths, pelmets & cornices.
