came away less than impressed

mostly very plain looking cabinets, little variation except for hardware - no real 'texture' or 'warmth'

I will look at a local custom cabinet shop and will be doing my kitchen in sections rather than all at once so I can absorb the cost better (pay more in cash, little financing)

You have to keep in mind that everything IKEA sells is the minimalist European design/look and is not going to be the same as traditional American stuff.

So we went to the local Ikea store today. I actually like the way the stuff looks. The appliances are primarily made in the US by Whirlpool.

I used the design your own feature on the website and for the entire kitchen, including appliances (except the refrigerator which I already have), with the exception of the countertop, was right around $8000.

I don't think anywhere else with the quality and warranty come close to that.
