Quality: What is the quality of IKEA Kitchens vs. other product lines?

IKEA Kitchens are top notch, several orders of magnitude better than entry level IKEA bookcases and such. The Akurum/Faktum lines utilize Blum hardware - Blum Tandemboxes with Blumotion for the drawers , Blum and Ferrari hinges and other hoity toity accessories that are generally only available in high end brands, like Poggenpohl, Val Cucine, Leicht, etc. Blum's standards are exacting and their quality is top of the line.

Be aware that the kitchen displays that you see in the stores are very often worse for the wear. 1000's of people with 4 wheel drive carts, kids, dirty fingers, etc. plow through the exhibits on a daily basis. Hopefully you will never experience such conditions in your own home. If, however, you find there is a problem, IKEA offers a 10 year warranty on the Akurum/Faktum cabinet line.
