ᐅ IKEA Kitchen Quality and User Experiences?

Please share the floor plan (kitchen and kitchen layout) – the 3D view always requires a lot of imagination (which I don’t have) to provide qualified feedback.

I’ve posted this here before.



Or the entire ground floor layout?

Perhaps a brief explanation...
The pull-outs in the kitchen island with a depth of 37cm (15 inches) are intended for dishes, cutlery, etc., as they are located close to the dining table.
The dishwasher position was changed several times; originally, it was planned to be installed at an elevated height, but we couldn’t find any option that we liked.
In my opinion, the tall cabinets have no suitable alternative location, as placing them elsewhere would make the space feel cramped. The countertops extend into the window recess.
The door leads to the utility room/pantry.

With this, I want to say that the price I was quoted at the kitchen studio wouldn’t be much higher than for the planned furniture.

As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, I have an IKEA kitchen and have been very satisfied with it; however, the appliances come from a specialist retailer.

When it was time for a new kitchen, my first stop was naturally IKEA. What a surprise – after changing the range to Metod (if I remember the name correctly), all the previous flexibility has disappeared; which I rely on in an older building. Their prices have also increased significantly. What annoyed me much more, though, is the Swedish company’s policy regarding consultation and installation (this time we didn’t have the time to assemble it ourselves): they really take it to a new low in this respect :-(

So off to the kitchen studio, and another surprise. Based on the reports here about buying kitchens, I was prepared for the worst. On the contrary: knowledgeable advice, flexibility, reasonable pricing, and no marketplace-style sales talk.

Since yesterday our kitchen has been under installation, and it’s a pleasure to watch the installers skillfully bring the kitchen to life. Our old IKEA kitchen will partly be transferred to our office’s tea room and our son-in-law’s workshop cellar.

What we especially appreciate about the new kitchen is the value for money. From my point of view, the Swede just can’t compete with that.

@daniels87 ... Well ... there are quite a few things that could be done differently ... I already commented on the half carousel cabinet from Ikea. The panels above the plan are also missing.
The route to the refrigerator from the dining table is highly impractical.

@Bauexperte: I agree. As soon as the installation situation becomes more complex, or if you can’t assemble it yourself, Ikea quickly becomes less viable.

The panels aren’t missing; they are just not shown in the drawing. Where would you have placed the refrigerator?
