I’m sure they do, I’ve just never actually been in a kitchen with ikea cabinets, and I am impressed!

Actually, i have found Ikea cabinets to be indestructible. I bought them out of necessity and was incredibly shocked at the high value. Even with a better budget, I would buy Ikea next time around.

To further bolster the sturdiness and longevity claim: those are an older door style, so not a new kitchen.

Agreed! We have a 13-year old Ikea kitchen and it still looks and functions great (even with two boys growing up in the house)

We live our IKEA kitchen. Works well for busy family. I have three kids climbing on them, slamming the doors and putting their dirty hands all over the fronts, not to mention the regular use by me and my husband. I had custom built wood kitchen prior and it didn’t hold up as well. For sure a good budget friendly option.

We've installed 3 ikea kitchens over the years and been very, very happy. Not only did they have longevity, but what most strikes me is how often people write on this forum about their mid- and high-cost custom cabinets and all the problems they are having -- with designers, install, finish, etc. Screws sticking out, exposed wood, screw holes that need touch up, paint chips. Just the fact that it is expected with these expensive custom cabinets that the cabinet maker will have to come on site after install and spend a day doing touch up. That's crazy! Essentially you have a bunch of weak spots that aren't going to have the factory finish on them. Ikea is literally the opposite - no surprises, no touch ups, no weak spots. And if you scratch a cabinet, guess what? Buy a new door for $150!
