We're just getting started with putting in a new kitchen. It will probably happen late Spring into Summer. I've got a basic design and will post something as we make the decision to go in this direction. We'll be shortly making a trip to Ikea to see these cabinets but I do have a few questions. This is the first of a few that I have and most appreciate the communities willingness to help out.

The doors on Ikea generally one of three options - painted, foil or veneer. Paint is cool but both my wife and I tend towards wood. But in the interest of looking at what is available maybe I should ask before we cut off options. I've always been leery of the word 'foil.' I always think of it as a glorified contact paper.

Anyone who may have an installed Ikea kitchen with foil covered doors could comment on durability etc. It would be muchly valued.

TIA
