Impressive showroom, helpful staff, but warning: no cooling off period. Be careful with what you sign!
This review only concerns the showroom, design and offer stages. The kitchen has not been built yet, so I can't comment on the quality yet.
Impressive showroon, kind and attentive staff. The help in designing a beautiful kitchen/bathroom is excellent, they really listen to your wishes and ideas.
BUT BEWARE: they will push hard for you to accept an offer and sign it ASAP. You should know that Van Wanrooij does not offer a cooling off period, so once you sign, you are stuck with them (or you have to pay a fine for getting out of the agreement). So don't commit, take your time and make sure you are comfortable with the design and offer.
In my case, there was a strong push to choose kitchen appliances of a certain brand. After coming home and reading some really concerning reviews and comments in forums like Tweakers and Consumentenbond, I tried to retract from the agreement and try again with a different brand.
I was told that that is impossible. We can make changes to another brand, but the costs of course go higher (more than the difference in price for the chosen appliances).
At this point, I had lost all leverage for negotiation by having signed.
So I would definitely still recommend checking them out and getting an offer, but with the warning of only signing an offer after careful reviewing every single detail and negotiating the price for what you want.
It should be common sense, I know, but don't make my mistake of assuming a cooling off period.
