i survived IKEA

want a good looking kitchen without burning your pocket? try IKEA, they got good reviews and im telling you its the best bang for your buck. We tried inquiring at HOME DEPOT & other kitchen cabinet shops but the selction, price & customization will drive you crazy. Its like buying a wedding gown and you are the groom. IKEA has a downloadable SW where you can design your whole kitchen, drag & drop ala-CAD, just enter your kitchen room dimension & boom! you now can see the light. You can even preview the finished look, you can see how much your whole kitchen will cost, you can customize the cabinets whatever look/configuration you want.

8x IKEA ADEL cabinets
2x IKEA ADEL cabinets w/ glass doors
2x IKEA laminated countertops

= $2k +-

truck rentals = $76
3 day labor = $20,000...LOL

is the DIY worth it? if you like to build TAMIYA scale models during your teen days & if you like the pain of working out in the gym this project is enjoyable, if not be ready to pay $150 per cabinet installation fee

I'm doing the same (or wanna do) with my kitchen. My only concern and question is (since I only have the ikea website and kitchen planner to help me) depending on what countertop I choose, is there any way of getting rid of that nasty looking countertop edging they sell? I was looking at the NUMERÄR countertops and since it has a curved face, it looks like I will have to use the ikea edging. How did you get around that, or did you. Thanks and it looks great.
