IMO the whole idea of using Ikea boxes and others for door fronts makes no sense since the IKea warranty is void when you do it and the doors are the expensive part .

Thank you Patricia, I was not aware of that.

Another perspective is, why limit your cabinet choice and kitchen design to what IKEA has to offer? There are dozens of beautiful kitchens here that began with IKEA boxes that could not have been realized without the savings those boxes offer. I haven’t got any info for you on Swedebox or Modern Twig, but lots of folks have used Barker Door, Scherr’s, and others to produce beautiful kitchens.

Doors and drawer fronts are the most expensive part of any cabinet. It makes zero sense to spend 20K on custom cabinet doors, on top of 8K cabinet boxes. And then have to pay to assemble the tinker toys too. Just spend the 30K on the already assembled cabinets that have 26,000 more choices in colors and designs.
