IKEA Kitchen – Why We Like It

Are you pondering a kitchen remodel and wonder how IKEA cabinets will look at your home? We asked experts from Metod Master who are experienced in working with IKEA kitchen cabinetry. Here’s what we have found out! 

First of all, what are the advantages of buying an IKEA kitchen? Most people decide to get an IKEA kitchen because of two things: modern design and price. IKEA cabinets are totally modular, meaning you can buy them in so many configurations and adjust them to your style. This is especially true if you want a more modern and sleek look. When it comes to price, IKEA is world-wide known for the scale of economy in their products, especially home furnishings. You won’t like everything this company does, but you’ll definitely find something worth considering or even something that meets your needs to a rather astonishing degree.

The quality of IKEA products is something that surely makes some people suspicious. The material of kitchen cabinets (particle board) and their low cost are the main reason why people don’t purchase IKEA kitchens. But, if you take a closer look, you’ll realize that most off-the-rack cabinet systems are also made of particle boards. Of course, you can purchase cabinet-grade plywood, but there’s some debate over whether it’s actually better than MDF (medium density fiberboard) or particle board. You can always opt for custom-made cabinets, of course, if you can afford them. What’s more, since IKEA’s system is so modular and flexible, you can buy the cabinets without any drawer fronts and doors. So, if you don’t like their finishes, opt for custom fonts to create a truly luxurious look for less.

Finally, IKEA manufactures high-quality solid metal drawers, with the dampers for soft-closing and superb hardware. If you use your kitchen a lot, you know how drawers are important.

Bottom line, IKEA kitchen cabinetry is cheap, compared to similar off-the-rack products, but that shouldn’t make you uneasy about purchasing. In fact, you’ll be pleasantly surprised about its quality and design, too.
