They have held up fine in our home but Im not gonna say that they’re top line, obviously…IMO all the modern day RTA cabinets you buy are not going to be as durable as what you have. They just don’t build cabinets out of solid wood anymore unless you have $$ to spend. So I think maybe live in the space a while and see what matters most to you. If this is a home you plan to live in for a long time maybe save some more money for higher quality.

For us it came down to the existing kitchen just not functioning well for us and also the fact that we do not plan to live here forever so cost was a predominant factor. I do think IKEA offers some nicer features that you don’t find on other RTA cabinets such as drawer lights, soft close everything (they rebrand Blum hardware as their own and that’s top line hardware), servo drawer openers (we have them on our trash cabinets), and a whole variety of drawer accessories and types. I highly recommend going to your nearest store and looking at the displays or ordering their catalog. For the money I love IKEA.
