IKEA kitchen cabinets VS custom cabinets [REAL WORLD EXAMPLE]

Rev-A-Shelf add-ons go well w. Sektion cabs! (That being said, I notice I love r-a-s much more when buying than when doing the install, and their installation directions make IKEA’s instructions look voluminous in comparison LOL.)

Very well done: thank you.

Very useful to confirm my thoughts on my own kitchen project and love thatt your kical and very informative and nice to see othervhomescwith the stairvissue kike mine

Very helpful video! Thanks!!

The rounded corner is pretty awesome at avoiding having dirt stuck in the corner as with a standard drawer.
Also contractor should love ikea when it come to installation. Their wall rail system is awesome and the cabinet and drawer assembly is really a breeze.

Hello, great video, and right to the end! I’m curious about the choice of solid wood doors for the base cabinets rather than for the uppers. Base cabinets, being below eye level, will not get noticed nearly as much as the uppers. Also, base cabinet doors tend to get beat up a lot more than uppers, what with knees and small children bumping into them (as well as a tendency to yank the drawers and doors open and slam them shut much harder than upper cabinets). If the base doors and drawers do get banged up or damaged, it will be a lot cheaper going to Ikea and buying a new front than having to get one custom made again (and it will never precisely match the older fronts).
Why not put the expensive wood up where you can see it, and maybe a couple of the upper doors could have reeded glass inserts if the client wants something that looks more traditional?

I live by MTKD's philosophy when it comes to corner cabinets and removed them from my design. I got a quote of $4k to install a 10x10 IKEA kitchen, doing it myself instead with hours of video learning. lol

Fair and balanced comparison! Highly informative. Thank you so much!

What would you have charge for what you are proposing in this kitchen.... I am thinking 2.5 times the cost of the cabinets... I would love to hear back from you. People watch this and when I design a kitchen base on what you are talking about.... PLEASE tell the people what it would actually the cost! I went through your earlier video; most contractors don't have the skill what you are talking about.. and when they get a contractor that can do what you are talking about it will run about 2.5 times the cabinet cost. Please let me know if I am wrong... Thank you

Still this was a great video

Excellent information, thank you!
