Ikea Kitchen? Anyone have one?

If you have installed an Ikea kitchen- how is it holding up? Can you share a photo?

Ikea Kitchen? Anyone have one?

I had one in my old house. We put it in and had it in for 4 years before we moved. there are definate things I loved about it and a few that I didn't

1) the white painted doors always seemed to arrive with defects, it took me swapping out a number of them before I was happy.
2) the painted finish was somewhat fragile and flaked at certian wearpoints. not a lot, but some.

the drawers were great, I loved the softclose, the organizers etc. If you are careful putting together isn't too difficult either. they're also pretty sturdy.

I would recommend the wood cabinet doors

Thank you for the feedback! Looks beautiful! I am leaning towards the wooden doors b/c I have small children and a very small kitchen that takes a lot of abuse. I do love the white, but it isn't practical for our lifestyle.

I have one. About 4 yrs old. We have the light wood doors on the bottom and frosted glass on top. No issues with cabinets at all. The only issue i had was with the granite. I don't think it was sealed in our bathroom or kitchen. I also have the wood kitchen island, which has held up really well. Love it. Takes a beating and looks great.
