Ikea Cabinets - Good Quality?
Posted on 1/10/19 at 11:03 am

I'm being told that going to Ikea and sitting down with their design people could be a great way to remodel kitchen cabinets. We will will have them professionally installed.
I'm hesitant. I don't associate Ikea with long lasting quality cabinets but I'm open to being incorrect.
Has anyone done this?

My wife bought a bed for our daughter from Ikea. The nuts and bolts to it came in a 20 pound bag. This bed took me 6 hours to put together. I told my wife to NEVER buy anything from Ikea again. This is your PSA

It's all press board, light use stuff. Made for people who rent and move around.
I like the adult puzzles with the word less instructions too.
I fitted out a rental I had in BR. Noting really lasted longer than a year or two.
Very weak material.
If solid wood is an option take that.

You are better off going to a dicount building supply store and buying cabinets. They will be crappy and as fragile as the Ikea ones but a lot cheaper. I installed a whole kitchen's worth of uppers and lowers for a rental and it took a good bit of work to get everything square and plumb. At least they have solid oak doors and face frames, I added extra support where needed to give them a fighting chance.

Their cabinets aren’t bad. Better quality than most their stuff. They have a lot of cool customizable options for them, especially the corner cabinets. And they have a decent choice of door designs.
The only thing I really don’t like about ikea stuff is that they are constantly discontinuing models and changing things. I bought some cabinets from them a while back and then wanted to add a few more a couple years ago, and they changed the depth of all their cabinets so I had to basically get the new ones custom built to match the old.

The kitchen cabinets are better than their regular stuff. People on bigger pockets are pretty on high them

I've seen some people on reddit who are carpenters say they highly recommend them. They are well made, very easy to install, and significantly cheaper than most stuff you can get.

Friends have had them for 5 years or so, they have children who are absolute terrors, the cabinets have held up pretty well at least from what I can tell.

They range in quality from utter crap to heirloom particle board. I’d look at reviews of the particular model.

I haven't but I know on Reddit Home Improvement that they are regarded highly for quality, looks, and price.
