$5000 Kitchen using IKEA cabinets & hardware

A month in planning, shopping and price comparison. We decided on going with IKEA kitchen cabinets. The only splurge was paying for them to be delivered (next day) and paying an approved IKEA installer to put them up (completed in 8 hours). It was truly headache free, guilt-free, and I would do it again. See a blog of my kitchen experience -- click here

Re: $5000 Kitchen using IKEA cabinets & hardware

Thanks! I've enjoyed and appreciated the comments on this forum, which has helped in our decision-making in going with Ikea. In my experience, we continuously buy Ikea because it allows us to be creative, apply designs without the expensive overhead, and gives us the modern (yet not tacky) results.

Re: $5000 Kitchen using IKEA cabinets & hardware

Do u mean that that the parts and installation all totaled 5000.00? I ask only because I recently got a quote from an ikea installer and she quoted a price 3500 and my cabinets with some appliances another 4500

Re: $5000 Kitchen using IKEA cabinets & hardware

Cabinets, 2 sinks, 2 faucets, range hood, doors, door handles, dining room light fixture, delivery, and installation. These were all Ikea. The countertop is included in the budget, but we got that from Home Depot.

Time and effort it took to design, decide, and dispose -- priceless. There were so much packaging materials to get rid of!

How many cabinets do you have? We don't have much.

Hi, sorry, I don't have the software on my computer anymore. I did this kitchen stuff last Nov 2007.
