I have friends who went the Ikea route and were very happy. Myself, I'm just a wooden cabinet kind of gal. I did Home Depot cabinets on my first kitchen redo and was not happy with the wear of the particle board.

I have done a lot of shopping at Ikea lately. I just put in a wall full of Wardrobes in my utility room.

Glad your kitchen is holding up so well. What color did you go with? Is that the same color you would do again?
