A SAVVY home renovator has shown how he managed to nab a stunning kitchen worth £6,000 AND appliances for just £250.
Money-minded Michael Quadri posted to his TikTok account (@_mikeslife), clueing his followers in on his budget hack.
In his video, Mike showed off the gorgeous cream kitchen he’d scored.
The units looked sleek and modern, with wood-effect counters and a swanky induction hob.
Mike had found the knock-down Wren kitchen on Facebook Marketplace, where it was listed for just £250.
“Guys, Facebook Market is an absolute plug,” he told viewers.
With the cost of new furniture so high, Mike had resorted to buying second hand and ex-display items to give his home a major makeover for less.
He’s not alone with the struggles of forking out for home renovation – as thousands of us across the nation hunt for ways to update our house on the cheap.
Mike said he’d even kitted bedrooms out for £200-£300 thanks to his thrifty finds.
Incredibly, his bargain kitchen even came with all the appliances he needed, including a double oven and dishwasher.
But after reevaluating the aesthetic he was going for, Mike decided he wanted to shift the kitchen and buy a different one.
He managed to list it back on Facebook Marketplace and sell it for a mega £750 – securing a £500 profit in the process.

Users in the comments couldn’t believe Mike’s luck.
One person wrote: “Facebook marketplace has some serious gems!!!”
A second person said: “Bargain!!”
Somebody else asked: “What do you normally search up to find this stuff?”
Mike advised: “I search for ‘full/whole kitchens'”
What is Facebook Marketplace?
Facebook Marketplace is a part of the social media website where users can buy and sell items with other users.
It’s similar to eBay or Vinted.
Sellers list their unwanted items, along with a picture and price.
Buyers then browse and bid on items they like the look of.
Buyers and sellers can message each other to arrange transactions, using the chat function.
