Ikea Kitchen Systems

IKEA flat pack kitchens good quality but the installation service is poor. The £250 installation fee is a waste of money. The kitchen took weeks to arrive and then IKEA delivered the wrong parts twice and service manager refused to return calls. She was more concerned that her name was pronounced correctly than giving a service. Installation prices are high Over £1400 for less than two days work. Units assembled and fitted no extras ...  Read the complete review

We tried to order an IKEA kitchen from the Milton Keynes shop and get it installed by IKEA. To make a long story short (and to forget numerous phone calls) we got the mobile number of a kitchen fitter for our 250 installation fee, who didn't seem to be in the mood to install an IKEA kitchen. After another 6 weeks IKEA finally acknowledged that they couldn't get the kitchen installed. It took another two months and countless phone calls to get the installation fee back. If you really want an IKEA kitchen, try to find an installer yourself. But be aware that kitchen fitters are not very keen on IKEA: IKEA kitchens lack the space behind the cabinets where usually ...  Read the complete review

My home renovation is finished, and the last thing that was done was the kitchen. Of course, that's really one of the hardest parts of a major renovation, and I'm glad that I had IKEA to help me with this. So I thought you might want to share my experiences with IKEA Kitchen Systems. First of all, you'll find IKEA Kitchen Systems either at your IKEA store or in their catalogue or via the IKEA web page (www.ikea.co.uk and choose the closest branch to your home). What I first did was to go through their catalogue and pick out a style that I liked (Kalsebo in beech), checked to see what units were available in that style and then mapped out my kitchen area. ...  Read the complete review

Uurrgggh....Ikea flat pack kitchen.....the horror, the horror..... So on the plus side, now it's installed, it was pretty cheap and it looks all right. This the extent of anything positive I have to say about this range of products. The workmen at our house - hardened builder-types who fit kitchens (though admittedly, not Ikea ones) every day of their lives- almost went mad trying to install it. There was blood all over the walls where the extractor fan fitting went wrong. I kid you not; human builder's blood. Ours has a 'Shaker' style white units. They weren't built to last a thousand years. Only few years old and already the white 'coating' ...  Read the complete review

I recently bought my Ikea kitchen and have been delighted with the whole process. You can design your kitchen by downloading the ikea home planner tool from their website. This is very easy to use and allows you to design you dream kitchen by putting each cabinet into a digital room of the size of the kithchen. This can be viewed in 2d plan or 3d, and really gives an accurate idea of what your new kitchen will look like. The tool also tots up the total cost of the kitchen, so it is easy to stay within budget. The overall cost of the kitchen was less than i had been quoted in rival shops, so value is very good. You can choose from a wide variety ...  Read the complete review
