I loved Ikea designs too until a lot of cabinet makers and contractors assured me that their quality is not good. My contractor cum cabinet maker did my kitchen cabinet and it ended up as nightmare. It looks nice but bad quality and I highly doubt he'll let me claim any warranty later even though he says he'll come and repair for free within a year. My kitchen cost me 11.5K while Ikea quote is about 14K, both with solid surface but Ikea comes with the accessories and warranty. Also the Ikea price already include sink and tap. If I ever get a new house or renovate the kitchen, I will seriously consider getting Ikea. Of course let's not forget some kitchen cabinet maker (Unity Kitchen) that comes highly recommended here too. 

You may go to their website, use their kitchen planner to draw out your plan, choose material and get the price. Then take the plan to Ikea and let them add in other charges for you. If I remember correctly the installation price is RM80 per foot run and RM160 if it's tall cabinet, usually adds up to a few hundred ringgit. Other installation charge : Sink and tap RM160, Oven RM80, Hobs and Hood RM160, Delivery RM60. Play around with the kitchen planner and you will then know how to cut the cost to get better price. Take note that Ikea won't do box up.

This 3G is using crystal class wont easy break and also wont turn into yellow as well.
Their showroom cabinet under the hot sunlight for many year...color never change at all.....

3G glass is easy to maintain...u wont scare it easy scratch.

I bought the cosway water filter put on top ofo soild surface, later on only have time to survey for under sink water filter.

Initiate plan is to buy under sink water filter for the small water filter, but we need the drinking water urgent.
so wait have time only add it.  any good recommend brand for under sink filter?

Added on February 28, 2012, 7:31 pmbesides, i went to UK the other day and got to see the 3G and 4G. i prefer 4G then as there's no price difference. after getting our 3D design from UK. we really decide that we'll have the whole kitchen cabinet & top be done in Black as white top is hard to maintain (solid surface) and granite, it's EXPENSIVE!....

we are waiting for our contractor's quotation for other parts of the hse before we could confirm if we'll use UK. i basically love UK's design and also after seeing so much good recommendation from here... i m more confident with them too...

been to CLS, CK, Kubiq before but the best service is still UK... good job UK...

Ermmmm seems like UK business too good and have not get any response for more than 2 days with few message to ask for estimation time. Not even a single message inform about how soon they can revert. Perhaps their service not that great in Email communication. A bit disappointed, perhaps need to visit their showroom personally but  it is too far for me thought.

my contractor also follow that sequence, definitely build the concrete table first 

by right, your contractor should be the one planning this for you. This should not be a headache for you in the first place.

The market is very big....2 of them cannot eat all....haha
u see legend kitchen also very hot, every have 10 team install in diff places.....booking full until 3 month later.

normally all material will not have much defect when come to your house, so all is based on good workmanship.
They have too many team ...need to depend on the luck.

My fren ask them to install, so far he happy with it...not sure the 50% promotion is really cheap???
