I'm really need to redo my kitchen but I have a very low budget. I heard very good feedback about the ikea method line. Do you have it and/or know if the more expensive fronts are also stronger or just a different look? And anyone have.know about their enhet line and if it's as durable as method? Thanks!

IKEA kitchens are excellent quality but keep in mind that they aren't assembled so if you aren't DIY you might pay more for labor. The installation system is also a bit different and is theoretically easier for DIY.

The third party doors are not stronger or more functional - they are just more stylish since IKEA has very basic style options but if you are on a budget, don't pay for them as there are better things to spend money on if your kitchen budget is limited.

Thank you so much! I meant within the ikea method cabinet options there is a big range between the prices of their cabinets. I was wondering if their more expensive options equal better quality or not really. And is their cheaper enhet system also good quality? That line offers less size and style options which might be why it's cheaper but it also has a shorter guarantee period.

I am not an IKEA expert but my understanding is that the cabinet boxes they use are the same for all their lines.

I would suggest you go to houzz.com and ask a question specifically about this as there are a lot of people who use IKEA and can give you great advice including how to achieve the best design

I would also check with someone at Ikea about the differences in the various lines.
Many years ago I was on a strict budget, and I did an Ikea kitchen. I chose a style that resembles the current American Bodbyn. I still like it, and it has held up quite well.
The problem was the installers. At the time, they would assign a kitchen designer to draw up the plans and give you a list of installers experienced in their products. There wasn't a large choice, and the installation was a nightmare - they damaged the new refrigerator, the new faucets and the newly-installed floor. Be very careful about that, whatever style of cabinet you pick.
