IKEA kitchen quality and experiences?

Please post the floor plan (kitchen and kitchen planning) - the 3D view always requires a lot of imagination (which I don’t have) to give qualified feedback.

Have I posted this here before?



Or the entire ground floor plan?

Perhaps a little explanation... The cutouts of the kitchen island with a depth of 37 cm are for dishes/cutlery, etc., since they are close to the dining table. The dishwasher was moved around a lot; it was originally supposed to be in a raised position at some point, but we did not find any variant that we liked. The tall cabinets, in my opinion, would have no suitable other place, as it would otherwise feel oppressive. The countertops extend into the window recess. The door leads to the utility/storage room.

With this, I want to claim that I wouldn’t be significantly above the price at the kitchen studio with the planned furniture either.

As I have already written elsewhere, I have an Ikea kitchen and have been very satisfied with it; however, the electrical appliances come from a specialist retailer.

When it was time for a new kitchen, my first step was therefore to go to IKEA. What a surprise – with the switch to the Metod series (that's what it’s called, I believe), all flexibility is gone; I depend on that in an old building. They have also raised their prices considerably. What annoys me much more, however, is the Swede’s policy regarding advice and assembly (this time we have no time to assemble it ourselves): in this respect, they really leave a lot to be desired :-(

So off to the kitchen studio and yet another surprise. After reading the reports here about kitchen purchases, I was prepared for the worst. Quite the opposite: competent advice, flexibility, no exorbitant prices, and accordingly no bazaar terminology.

Since yesterday, our kitchen has been installed, and it’s a pleasure to watch the guys as the kitchen grows under their skilled hands. The old IKEA kitchen is partly moving to the tea kitchen of our office and the workshop cellar of our son-in-law.

What we are especially pleased about with the new kitchen: the price/performance ratio is right. By my understanding, the Swede can't compete with that.

... Well .. a lot could be done differently ... I had already written about the half-carousel cabinet from Ikea. Panels at the top are also missing. The path to the fridge from the dining table is more than impractical.

: I agree. As soon as the installation situation is more complicated, or if you can't assemble it yourself, Ikea is quickly out of the running.

Cover panels are not missing, they are just not drawn in. Where would you have placed the refrigerator?
