IKEA Adel white cabinets - durability?

15 years ago

We are planning on putting IKEA Adel cabinets in our new kitchen, and are waffling between the white and the beech. We like the white, but it is foil finish, not wood. How does this hold up after years of use? If it gets banged, will it crack and peel?

Also, I have heard reports of white IKEA cabinets yellowing over time. Does anyone know anything about this?

Thanks so much!

we did our 500sqft mudroom with ikea cabs and drawers. I actually love the foil! it cleans up easily and so well. we've had it in for about 5 years now. We use this room as an art studio, kids homework station, laundry, main garage entry and pool room... not one ding or scratch and sign of wear.
I highly recommend it!
