My daughter is having a new kitchen installed in her house. Her family is currently renovating their new home before moving in. After she priced out a new kitchen from several sources including Home Depot she was convinced that an Ikea kitchen was the best deal. One really great advantage with Ikea is that the cabinets are available immediately.

That might not sound like a big deal but if you have ever ordered custom or semi-custom cabinets you probably had to wait anywhere from six to 12 weeks for your new kitchen to arrive. This can delay the finishing date of the house if, like most people, you did not design and order your cabinets early in the renovation process.

If you only have a short time to renew your kitchen you can’t afford to wait that long. Enter Ikea and the instant kitchen. The selection is current, the quality is well worth the price and for the most part it is in stock. Sometimes you have to wait a few weeks for some doors or drawer fronts but that will not hold up the kitchen installation.

I installed my own Ikea kitchen but my daughter chose to have one of the experienced Ikea installers do the job. They even installed the counter top she provided at no extra cost. Now she has a beautiful new kitchen in two days all for the reasonable cost of $5000. That includes pot drawers, a pantry with roll out shelves and crown molding.

An Ikea kitchen is not for everyone but for a stylish kitchen at a reasonable cost it is worth considering.
