Wren Kitchens review

Wren claims to be the UK's number one kitchen retailer, but does that mean it's the best? 

To find out, we put Wren Kitchens through our rigorous lab tests and asked people who had bought from the brand about their experience. 

We assessed three of Wren's kitchen ranges: the Vogue flat-packed units, ready-assembled Infinity units, and the bespoke Infinity Plus range.

How well do Wren Kitchens last? 

As well as asking Wren customers to rate their kitchens, we also asked them to share whether their kitchen showed any signs of damage or wear and tear. 

We only asked people who reported buying their kitchen between 2015 and 2021, to get a sense of how they hold up in the long term. 

Log in now or join Which? to find out what Wren customers told us.

On average, across all the brands we collected data for, 44% of survey respondents reported that their kitchen was showing signs of damage or wear and tear after at least five years of ownership. 

The most common issue was the finish of the cabinets being scratched (15%) and the soft close mechanisms failing (12%). 

In contrast, just 34% of owners from the most reliable brand reported damage to their kitchen.

Wren kitchen costs 

To find out how much you can expect to spend on a kitchen, we set up mystery shopping appointments to get prices for all the kitchens that we test. 

We started by finding the mid-priced kitchen range for each carcass we test, then attended design appointments with every brand posing as a customer looking to buy a new kitchen.

We asked brands to provide us with prices for the selected ranges in a 12-unit kitchen, without any additional accessories (eg, worktop, sink, taps or appliances).

We were quoted between £2,985 and £6,149 for the Wren kitchen we designed.

Bear in mind that this is based on one design appointment and is to be used as an indicator of how much you can expect to pay, rather than a final price.

Wren kitchen design service

Wren offers free design appointments either in-store, at your house, or online. They can also send a team of technicians to measure your kitchen if you are unable to do so. You can book these appointments through the Wren website. 

A total of 172 Wren customers reported having used their design service. 

We asked them to rate their experience and tell us whether they have any issues with their kitchen as a result of poor planning.

Does Wren install kitchens?

Yes, Wren Kitchens has an optional fitting service at an extra cost. It approves the installers and says that their workmanship is independently audited. Wren will also remove your old kitchen.

A total of 79 Wren customers reported using the brand's installation service. 

We asked them to rate their experience, including whether or not they had any issues.

If you don't want to use the Wren service, you can hire your own installer. Use our free Which? Trusted Traders service to find a reliable kitchen fitter. 

How much does it cost to fit a Wren kitchen?

To find out how much the average kitchen installation costs in 2025, we consulted the Building Cost Information Service (BCIS) database. They told us that the total cost of labour should be 20-30% of your total spend. 

For a full breakdown of kitchen costs, including installation, labour and individual elements such as kitchen islands and worktops, read our guide to how much a new kitchen costs in 2025.

We recommend that you always get at least three quotes from different traders before you start any job, and get a fixed price contract if possible (this means the prices can not go up expect in pre-agreed circumstances).
