If it poses a problem (too close for the door to open, etc) it will warn you.</p> <p>Then when you're done, you just log in at the store and they can print out an order list to give to the warehouse so you're not searching for every little hinge, etc. We rented a U-Haul, but I learned later that it would have only been $100 for delivery.</p> <p>Here's our whole kitchen in boxes at the store (six carts)</p> <p>[attach=674/13/mld9r6.600x448.311841_577742712956_1574302903_n.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-cabinets#post-720697 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 16:12:19 +0000 mrs. 64 720697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have to rent a truck and get them from Ikea to your house or will they deliver them? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-cabinets#post-720691 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 16:10:58 +0000 lavender 720691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: was it a pain to have to do the dimensions and design yourself? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-cabinets#post-720688 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 16:10:02 +0000 lavender 720688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: what a gorgeous kitchen.</p> <p>I'm thinking of white cabinets with a butcher block countertops...

They look and feel expensive, have the soft close and they got a bunch of installed drawers in them. He is planning on using Ikea cabinets for a new house they just bought too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-cabinets#post-720339 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 14:28:41 +0000 Shutterbug 720339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We recently renovated our kitchen using Ikea cabinets. So far they're very sturdy (they have a 25 yr warranty). Here's a picture of it sort of in-progress (missing the hardware and a bunch of trim pieces). We installed it all ourselves, it wasn't that hard, actually.</p> <p>[attach=674/13/mld4ru.600x450.after.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-cabinets#post-720320 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 14:25:30 +0000 hilary 720320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have them and really like them.

Several friends have them and are very happy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-cabinets#post-719901 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:25:08 +0000 lavender 719901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So we close on our new home at the end of June and the kitchen is going to be totally renovated. I was looking at Ikea's selection of cabinets and butcher block countertops. Just wondering if anyone has had any experiences with either or? </p>
