Hello,
unfortunately, I only find older posts when it comes to the topic of kitchen quality. We are currently in the middle of kitchen planning and I wonder if an IKEA kitchen is still always of lower quality than Nobilia or Nolte. We are considering buying only the carcasses and kitchen fronts from IKEA, with appliances and countertops purchased separately. Can anyone share their experience with this? In our case, this would save about 5-8k euros, which I consider significant, but since the kitchen is expected to last 20-30 years, quality is a major concern.
In older posts, IKEA kitchens did not fare well in terms of quality, so I wanted to find out what the situation is today.
Maybe someone here can share their experience with IKEA kitchens.
Thank you very much

I really like IKEA … but how does one actually install
a kitchen island or a raised dishwasher without completely losing their mind?? Where exactly are your problems?
Missing details...

Does Ikea have lacquered fronts?Yes, the Veddinge fronts are lacquered, as well as Bodbyn. One of the newer fronts is Havstorp.Wood with clear lacquer, for example Lerhyttan, Hasslarp.

to install a kitchen island or a raised dishwasher without completely losing your mind?? An island is not a problem. On one side, we have the standard base cabinets, and on the other side, wall cabinets facing the dining area. The cabinets are connected using a trim piece that came with the units, although we had to improvise a bit. There was also an option for floor mounting, but we didn’t use it. We have a peninsula, so we simply screwed the cabinets to the wall. Then we put the countertop on top, and that was it.
Benutzer1237 May 2022 12:36You can definitely work with Ikea. I wouldn’t say it is generally cheaper, though. For example, if you have a long run of cabinets, with Manufacturer X I might need 2 cabinets (2×1.20m (3 ft 11 in)), but with Ikea I would need 3 (3×0.8m (2 ft 7 in)). I also wouldn’t recommend Ikea for very tall people. A 25 cm (10 inch) toe kick isn’t very appealing. It really depends on the individual. Kitchen studios that advertise with percentage discounts are best avoided.
In the end, the final price is what counts. I don’t see any advantage in knowing the exact price of each cabinet. When I buy a car, I don’t know how much the door or the side mirror costs either. It doesn’t matter.

@Benutzer123 ... I would actually recommend 3x80 instead of 2x120, or even 2x100 (not the standard Ikea width) plus 1x40, for example, as an organized cooking storage cabinet next to the cooktop 😉.
Also, a 25cm (10 inches) plinth at Ikea, combined with a standard countertop thickness, means a working height of 109cm (43 inches) ... which is suitable for very tall people. For standard manufacturers, you would then need cabinet body heights of around 90cm (35 inches) to effectively lower the plinth. Not every manufacturer can do that, and it can also be expensive.

The cabinets were just an example to show that it doesn't necessarily have to be cheaper than a Nolte or Nobilia kitchen, for instance.
I did exaggerate a bit with the baseboard, that’s true.
