IKEA Kitchens

Got IKEA kitchen, installed 2 weeks after I paid for it.

In the end I paid Ikea to install it, since no tradesman I could find wanted to do it [*insert multiple swear words here*]. So I paid a small bit over the odds to get it put it.

I understood their pricing policy, pricing it per cabinet, so I redesigned what I got to have large presses, rather than small ones [in my original draft] - so that brought the install cost down a fair bit tbh

That said, it got done under the allocated time, and the work was utterly perfect, not a snag to be found and the place [checked by two family members who know about these things, in different ways]. The place was spotless afterwards. Old one ripped out and taken away, and new one put in, with new appliances and all.

There is a lot to be said for that, I could have maybe saved a few bob on the install, gotten a eastern european gent from an add in tesco. But then I would have "paid" in hard break chasing the fella to complete it or fix this bit or that.

I will take the small bit of extra cost for an easy life.

Didn't get the appliances or worktop from Ikea but we are very happy with their kitchen units and sink/tap. It's in a few months now, ask me again in a year or so. Hopefully still be happy with them then!

Cool, good to get a bit of feedback, thanks!
