[quote=Anonymous]We did an ikea white modern kitchen 3 years ago in a remodel and, when we had to sell for a work relocation, sold at the $1m price point without a problem. Kitchen looked fantastic and was great quality.  We are currently renovating again, and will be using Ikea again.  There is nothing comparable in quality at the ikea price point or even the next 1 or 2 price points up.  The more expensive doors at home depot may be wood, but there are actually a lot of reasons why the HD wood cabinets are in fact cheaper and worse quality than non-wood doors. So don't get sucked in by the lure of "real wood doors".  And nothing beats the ikea inserts. Seriously nothing.  When I did my ikea kitchen 3 years ago, my mom had just redone her large suburban kitchen to the tune of $80k for custom cabinets. She almost had a heart attack when she saw the ikea cabinets use literally the exact same drawers and hardware as hers.  They subsequently did more cabinets elsewhere in their home (wetbar, and then a second kitchen in the basement) and used ikea for both..... lesson learned....

I will say that I was really disappointed that ikea didn't update some of their door styles when they released their new kitchen line in February. They mostly offer the same cheap wood shaker style that they've been offering since 2002. So we were a bit bummed about that.  I did price compare semihandmadedoors and kokeena. The fancy wood veneers at either company are quite a bit more money than Ikea doors, but there are some more reasonable options.  For instance, semihandmade offers a paintable shaker that is not much more expensive than ikea. We were also looking at the kokeena  white painted slab door, and it was going to cost approximately the same the most expensive ikea door style.  [/quote]
