For your IKEA warranty you also want to scan and save your receipt to a thumb drive or backed up hard drive as the thermal paper will fade after a couple of years and if the scanner can't read the bar code or the coworker can't read the order number, you won't be able to use the warranty.

Best video ever! I live in Canada and do great to watch this video. Because so many YouTubers are focus on US audiences even though the influencers live in Canada. Cheers! I just subscribed!

I got so many cabinets from my ikea for my pantry room which was 8X8 feet with the countertop for $2500. Lowe’s was 11k. IKEA is better hands down

Having worked at both Home Depot and IKEA as a kitchen designer in the past, I really enjoyed your video and your opinions on both.

Had the older Ikea (Akurum) cabinets for 10 years before we sold. Performed flawlessly despite having endured leaky pipes, etc. Recently did our new kitchen also with Ikea's Sektion. I have 3 Ikea stores within an hour drive from home. That plus cost advantage, euro frameless design and abundance of options and customization, choice was easy. And as a pleasant surprise, all cabinet boxes and doors were made in New Jersey.

Never again! We placed a $5, 000 order at the Ikea in New Haven CT and they screwed it all up. As soon as we paid we were told half the cabinets and other parts were not available. A month later and we received 3 deliveries (which we had to pay each time). The last one came today and we were missing 15 items out of over 100. Driver would not take responsibility. Ikea customer service crated a list for us to go to another state (NJ) to pick them up. Got their (2.5 hours away) and they said they did not know what we were talking about. Tried calling the service number and they put us on hold several times, then hung up. NEVER AGAIN!

I LOVED my IKEA kitchen. We just moved into a new house and will do the kitchen with IKEA again. I used Inspired kitchen Designs to help me design and plan the floor plan.

Thank you for the this very helpful video. I considered both stores, price compared, read reviews, and decided IKEA was definitely the better option. Unfortunately, IKEA has not been keeping cabinets in stock for months. So, I started looking at local cabinet suppliers. I found a company called DL Cabinetry that offers better quality plywood RTA cabinets for IKEA prices. It was a no-brainer. I had to compromise with the ever popular white shaker style doors instead of the Ash slab style doors I originally wanted, but the better quality for similar price is worth the compromise.

We just received our new IKEA kitchen, 225 boxes. Everything was there, not one item missing. We got 4 bids and the were all unaffordable. We had 5 sessions, free of charge wit IKEA kitchen planner. We ordered while they had their spring sale and saved a boat load of money. We are very happy with the IKEA choice we made.

We went to Home Depot but they wouldn’t have what we wanted for about 6 weeks. So we considered IKEA. We used their web designer and selected our cabinets and accessories. Within a week, tons of boxes arrived, nothing missing. We put the cabinets together ourself and our contractor installed them as part of a combined bathroom/kitchen remodel. The cost was about half of what Home Depot wanted and the IKEA cabinets looked way better.

I'm just here to share my friend in Canada got a home depot kitchen and it has been a nightmare. Customer service has been horrible. 2 years in and she hasn't had a fully done functioning kitchen yet (between cabinet doors falling off, counter cracking, sink falling out, dishwasher breaking etc). I did an ikea kitchen at the same time in our previous house and we did it all ourselves on the cheap and it was done. For comparison: ours cost 6k cad, hers was 14k cad range. We have little kids so I didn't want to spend too much and we were very happy with it. Super easy to install. I'm not sure what range she got but it was installed for her. 😳 maybe she's an outlier though.

We compared ikea rta to home depot rta and the quality was night and day. Home depot rta felt cheap and flimsy and it just seemed like the kind of thing my kids would destroy immediately. Now we moved so we only operated in our ikea kitchen for a year and a half but it was great. Only problems were my own silly design mistakes🤣🙈. That's why I'm here.... hopefully willl not repeat on my current kitchen. Probably just make new different mistakes...😳🤪

I don’t know where to start... my kitchen layout is weird but I LOVE IKEA cabinets

[SarahRenz]

When I go to IKEA, I don't want to "buy everything" so much as I want to just move in and live there!

[mattschreiber]

Garbage vs trash. Which is better? Great video. As a custom cabinet maker, I can't stand either. Though, for a DIYer upgrading their home on a budget, go IKEA. Best bang for your buck.

Thanks for putting the bottom line up front in the video. Hooked me into the rest of video and now I watch your granite vs quartz countertop video.

My father bought custom kitchen from the local Amish. Solid wood, fairly much, tounge and grove 3/4" sold construction. So, the box store wanted $8, 000, where as they wanted $10, 000. The difference in quality is shocking. The kitchen will stand for 50 years.

I keep seeing those dining chairs in the background. And think I have the same SuperStore chairs from Halifax that I bought 13 years ago. They're still awesome.

I use ikea cabinets in my laundry and office. I love that the upper cabinets are 15 inches deep compare to HD which barely has 11 in deep.
