Howdens v IKEA carcasses only

[Citygirlrurallife]

Any feedback? Our builder really wants us to go with Howdens (obviously more expensive but come ready built not flat pack)

if we go with Howdens they can also build out our corner unit. If we go with ikea we’d need to get that made bespoke

if howdens we’ll use naked kitchens for the door fronts, if ikea we’ll go with Plykea

both are affordable for us so it’s down to quality really

IKEA kitchen for years here. Carcasses still excellent but time to replace doors. Unfortunately they are the old size IKEA doors/carcasses so hard to get doors in those sizes. Looks as if I'll have to replace the lot.

We did IKEA + Naked doors in our last house and I miss it so much! The fitter had a bit of a wrestle with one of the pull outs but the size options were better for us, the design service was amazing and the price was great.

IKEA don't have service voids so you get much more depth for storage, however you need to move/accommodate any weird pipe runs that you'd just hide behind Howdens.
