anyone use Lowe’s/Home Depot for kitchen installation?

hubby and i will be inheriting a house from grandma and, well, it’s stuck in 1953. everything is original to the house, including the appliances, rugs, etc. since we will be lucky enough to not worry about rehab costs on top of a mortgage, we will be able to spend a decent amount of money on the house. however, it will also require dormers being added to the attic, and all that fun stuff.

i figure we will spend about 20k-25K on a kitchen, not including demo. is that a reasonable price to get a kitchen at lowes/home depot? we want wood cabinets, stone tile floors and natural stone counters. the kitchen is a moderate size, and a dining room table will have to fit, so we won’t be doing an island. just your typical L-shape.
have you bought from lowes/home depot and had them install? how did you feel about the materials and the service?
is this a reasonable budget? it would also include appliances of a low to mid-range price. is that too much money budgeted?
thanks!

My son and daughter in law had Home Depot do their kitchen remodeling; new appliances; new cabinets; new flooring; trim; counter tops the works.
They were promised it would all be done in x amount of time and it wound up being two months later.
The counter tops did not fit right; The sink and counter tops they ordered would up costing a thousand dollars more then they were quoted. All in all; they said never again will they have Home Depot do anything. The cost was between 20 and 25k. for a very small kitchen, with no room for a table and chairs. just a small island on one end (not the center kind)

You get what you pay for at the big box stores, JUNK, over priced trash, there insallers are every day Joe,s that have contracts with them Go to a good cabinet maker where you live you will get a better price and custom cabinets, and someone with pride in there work Stay away from knock down cabinets, you get what you pay for WHY BY JUNK, I,ve had to redo some of these guys soddy work.

I had clients that used both Home Depot and Lowes for their kitchens (4 clients total). OMG! What a diaster! Wrong parts ordered which cause delays, and install was atrocious!!! Cabinet doors didn’t even meet up. Maybe order the stuff from them, but don’t use their installers, get your own.
Also a basic well done kitchen usally costs between $20K to $30K with new appliances.
