Re: Applad White crack at the edge

Ack! I agree, that looks terrible. Did you contact IKEA Kitchens about replacement doors?

Ikean had come to inspect and promise to give me feed back this week. Hope they come back with good news. They probably because of the weather is hot.

Re: Applad White crack at the edge

I think they should be able to do something to help you, given that they offer a very good warranty on their kitchens.

Re: Applad White crack at the edge

At last, the investigation is over............ and after the long pending... Ikean promise to give me a replacement of crack door and drawer. Well, I got a chance here before this friday to decided whether i want to take back the Applad White or change to others door style with my limited budget. I am eyeing Nexus Black Brown or Yellow Brown now. Any suggestion? Really need feed back from everyone.

Thanks!!!!

Re: Applad White crack at the edge

I'm glad IKEA is replacing the defective doors and drawerfronts for you.

I'd go for the Nexus Black Brown, especially since you have a section of wood countertop. I think it would look really nice.

What kind of handles are on your cabinets? Are they IKEA?

Re: Applad White crack at the edge

Yeah, I am so happy when they finally decided to replace my door. And the lady who serve me is so friendly, she will send a contractor to exam my kitchen again and calculate the total door and drawer front to be change. So i am waiting patiently here, no need to rush to Ikea to place an order (anyway, Ikea is only 20min drive away). She even told me secretly, Applad white and Applad beige is the door style always being return due to this problem. Nexus almost same range but much more better quality.

I will get a brown black marble dining table soon, it will place after the penisular. brown black table leg and chair, pure white marble top (it is dust cheap in Malaysia, about USD$300 you get a 4 ft round table plus 6 chair). in this case, you think, will it too much of brown black? or the flow is just nice? I always want the kitchen finish first before decided on the dining table, i just afraid it won't match.

The handle is not from Ikea, but it looks like the UDDEN kitchen series handles, just a bit bigger and kinda cheap too. I like that handles but not the series, so i bought this at my local hardware shop( i saw it in Ebay too) , the instalation part is a bit troublesome, but it is really suitable for family who got kids ( although i still don't have) imagine kids running arond and knock their head at the handles when talking to the mommy.
