[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IKEA Abstrakt white. Had em six years, still look like new. No yellowing or chipping. And they are indestructible — everything wipes off them. They are very high-gloss, though, so if what you want isn't a modern look, they wouldn't work.  IKEA kitchen cabinets are a ridiculously good value. They use high-end Blum hardware. The drawers and hinges are as good as you'll find from any manufacturer.  The cabinet faces themselves vary the dependent upon price. Abstrakt was one of the most expensive, and it's held up beautifully. I'm sure some of the cheaper ones would have been chipped by now. But even IKEA-expensive is anywhere-else-cheap. [/quote]

+1 for abstrakt white![/quote]

Did you hire a IKEA kitchen expert to put them together for you and install them? I read in the WP a few weeks back that IKEA kitchen cabinets are difficult to put together even for contractors. The reason being according to the article is because they don't come together like traditional cabinets. I mentioned to a builder that we might consider IKEA for our kitchen redo and he didn't seem all that enthusiastic. In fact he told me that was the first and only time he's ever had an issue with a client over a job.

Glad to hear they have worked out for you. If you hired someone, could you reveal who that person is? [/quote]

We used the IKEA recommended contractor. If your contractor is familiar with Eurostyle cabinets, you should be fine, but I wouldn't discount the IKEA contractor – it's all they do, you know? They were familiar with every single piece.

There are also independent kitchen designers who will design an IKEA kitchen for you…

The contractor we used was up in Maryland, Hapsburg construction. I don't know if they go as far south as you are.  I thought they were great. I got an independent floor contractor to do the tiled backsplash and tiled floor.[/quote]
