Does anyone have an IKEA kitchen, if so....

[HuwEdwards]

...do rate them? Are you happy with it - is there anything to avoid?

Thanks - love you all

do i rate them - yes, good quality, cheap price

am i happy with it - yes

things to avoid - only thing to be wary of is the base units fit flush to the wall (uk units stand proud of the wall and allow space behind) so all pipework needs to be at skirting level. also, if you use ikea units, but wanted a worktop from somewhee else, check the depth, ikea units are deeper than uk ones

hth

somewhere else not somewhee

I just got one, thanks to MN advice

It's not fully functioning yet but Me Likee!!!
hope you like yours

BTW I did not get any corner cupboards because I am too clumsy and hamsted to use them,

Just moved house and i was really gutted to be leaving my IKEA kitchen behind.I LOVE ikea Kitchens.Go for it.

Yes we have recently fitted the Adel In yellow white with the solid oak worktops and i'm loving it. If you're getting fitted appliances the nutd 410 microwave (which basically acts like a second oven as well as a microwave) and nutd 610 oven are fab. Also get the inner revolving things in your corner base cupboards they're brill for veg and cans. The pull out shorter larder is fab too.

We fitted the Adel in yellow-white in our last house. We also bought the IKEA fitted dishwasher, but fitted other brands cooker/hood/fridge etc. We bought a deeper depth worktop from elsewhere and had it fitted seperately.
It was a lovely kitchen - really miss it now.

Love ours too, but oh it was a trauma choosing it! IKEA kitchen section still brings me out in a cold sweat two years on. Used to have to leave DSes with grandparents and spend hours in there working out what we needed. Then of course there was the issue of DH refusing to pay for it delivering so we hired a van and had to load in and out the whole lot ourselves ...

I've just had a kitchen from here fitted very impressed

Yes we have the dishwasher too it's the first time i've ever had a dishwasher and i'm loving it! Sarah you are so right I was hours in the shop on their planner thingy I even posted on here about the stress of it all but you can do it from home too I think.

Thankyou all for advice and tips - just been to IKEA to check them out and I think we're going for it, but with maybe a granite work surface.

Am having the microwave housing unit and the vertical pull out jobbies and the revolving corner unit thing. SUCH a difference in price compared with other places.

Huw, will be doing the same as you early next year, so would be very interested in how you get on!

Maidamess, work starts after Xmas, but we're also having an extension and some other work doing, so it won't be completed until about April time

Same here. Back of the house being chopped orf. Can't wait!!

Yes love it

love it, the pull out larder/pantry is ace
piss easy to install...
we have the cheaper end the adel yellow one, got in to supplement out other kitchen...
would easily and definitely head back there when we revamp in this hosue or the next

If using granite worktop talk to IKEA first. Depending on how heavy the granite worktop is, you may need some reinforcements (in most brands, not just IKEA). (Although if they are the standard type they are likely to be fine)

Like everyone else on here it seems, we have the Adel yellow / white and the oak worktop.

We fitted it ourselves no problem, though as someone else said, the units fit flush to the wall, which was a bit tricky in places.

It's been in nearly 3 years now and I love it!!

Much better quality than other cheap kitchens imho

Our kitchen is all but 10 yrs old. No probs. Would deffo recommend ikea.
