Kitchen Cabinets

In January we went to IKEA in Utah on a very quick road trip (AND we got to stay with our very good friends, and really enjoyed catching up and eating a yummy dinner!). Our intention was to inspect IKEA cabinetry to see if it was worth putting in our new home. It is very affordable and we had heard good things, so we had to go see.

Yes... it was very nice (the higher level line). The drawer slides were some of the top quality Ryan had ever seen, the organization was amazing and the customization was incomparable.

We decided on Adel cabinet finish and their own line of appliances made by Whirlpool.

When we came home we found a consumer reports on cabinets and IKEA placed third, among very expensive custom cabinets!

Next step: return to Utah (the closest IKEA) and buy entire kitchen, load on U-HAUL and come home. We will wait for the kitchen sale and place one big order.

Downfall: you have to install and assemble cabinets yourself... that's why they're cheap!
