Review Avoid Avoid at all cost. I purchased an Ikea kitchen with a 2. Six years later several of the door fronts are delaminating.
I contacted Ikea. As Ikea ofthen does, they changed the entire kitchen line so that they no longer carry the size or style and told me that there is not much they can do. Really If you are going to warranty anything for a period of time, then you should make sure you have parts available to honor the warranty. Ive been reading horror story after horror story about people having to install brand new kitchens after short period of time for same reason. I would even purchase new cabinet fronts so at least I dont have to tear out the counter tops and entire kitchen. In fact, one of the reasons I purchased the modular kitchens from Ikea is so that I could potentially change the look after a while if I wanted to. But what they do, is change, slightly, the dimensions of the cabinets so that you cant even purchase new replacement or new style door fronts and have to purchase a new kitchen. While installing my Ikea kitchen, I figured out a way to add a toekick drawer without any special equipment. This was pretty easy because I did it before installing. I even read on consumer report that the Ikea 2. FLAT. Do yourself a favor and purchase another kitchen elsewhere. I have several homes. The cabinets in one my other home has lasted over 1.

They started building the cabinets a couple of days ago and got them all built in one day which is awesome. Well, today we revived a call that we are missing some parts that are needed for the kitchen remodel. The women proceeds to tell us its our fault that the parts were not delivered. She said it was our responsibility to check to make sure we received all of the parts. Keep in my we received probably around 5. She then proceeds to say that we have to drive to IKEA to get the parts. We dont live close and there was no way we were going to do that. We told them that they will have to bring themselves or get the delivered. She said she doesnt know if thats possible and told us she would call us back. Needless to say we are extremely unhappy with the way we were treated by the lady on the phone. If ikea forgets to deliver somthing that is on them and not on the consumer. While the customer service was bad, the cabinets are beautiful and the people who put them together were very quick and efficient. Date created 2. 01. Name Elle. Location Seattle, WAModelStyle White.

Review I love my remodelWe did a complete kitchen remodel with Ikea cabinets and I could not be more pleased with the resultSince we went all white I could not see spending big bucks on all wood cabinets that were going to be covered win white paint. We shopped around a lot Lowes Home Depot, Costco, Parr, specialty cabinet stores. And Ikea came in a an attractive price point thousands lower than anywhere else. Look, if you have a really super high end house, maybe these are not for you, but for us, it was the perfect choice. We did not install them ourselves, and the installer did a great job.

Review Metod cabinetsWe had Nick Fry install our kitchen. We can not fault his workmanship and work ethic. Nick is an extremely organised, personable and clean worker. We are absolutely delighted with our kitchen so far. Our cooker, sink and bench top have yet to be installed but hopefully this will happen shortly. We can recommend Nick Fry as a top tradesman.

What a mistake The cabinet walls are made of particle boards not hard wood. Three years later, the surface paint on several doors started to crack and peel. I brought them back to the local Ikea store and was told by their customer service rep. Duvbo was discontinued and there is no replacement. So, the warranty offered by Ikea is simply a marketing scheme. They dont back their products. Further, since they wont replace the cabinet doors, I request a paint formula so I could buy paint myself to repaint the door. They replied it is their proprietary formula that they wont reveal it.

Review Very happy with many Ikea kitchens weve installedIm a professional building contractor and weve installed about a dozen Ikea kitchens in homes. Ive even installed them in the two homes I own. Heres the deal. Get a real designer to design the layout of the cabinets in a CAD program. It will cost a few bucks, but it will be done right and then the install will go pretty smoothly. Build them in a clean, well lit location. Dont assemble them in the kitchen you are installing them. Do one at a time and go through the entire inventory before attempting to assemble even the first one. Group all the pieces together that will make up one cabinet. Use wood glue for all the dowels. Use a crown stapler for the back section. Install the upper cabinets first using Ikeas very smart rail system and if you dont own a good level or a laser level, buy one. Install the bottom cabinets leveling each one as you go with the adjustable feet or install a 2. X4 level base to set the cabinets on. Install doors and drawers last and since the cabinets should be all plumb and level, only minor adjustments will be needed. Use a template for the holes for the handles and hinges Ikea sells one, I think drill the holes slowly and you should not have any chipping from the interior. It seems that many people who complain are talking about the staff or the lowest priced models. Spend a bit of money for the more expensive doors and drawer fronts and you should not have any issues. Yes, the Ikea staff can be horrible and not helpful, but if you know that going in, then there is less of an issue. Do your homework, assemble them with patience and you will be rewarded with cabinets that will last many many years. Date created 2. 01. Name Designer. Satisfaction Rating.

Whats the Difference Between SEKTION AKURUM Details are a little bit fuzzy still, but we can learn some from looking at the METOD cabinets already on sale in Europe. There will almost certainly be differences between METOD and SEKTION, just as there were differences between the European and North American versions of the previous cabinet line. For instance, European cabinet dimensions are in metric measurements, and the American ones are in imperial inches. American cabinet sizes also need to accommodate American appliance sizes.

Newinternal fittings that quite frankly look nicer than the current options for AKURUM. Integrated internal lighting options. Hanging rail for lower cabinets to make installing lower cabinets easier.
