IKEA cabinets are modular cabinets therefore you can't customise the carcass or doors.

Sorry but what is a modular cabinet? If I buy the Ikea cabinets and if it doesn't fit, can they refund? What can I do to prevent this from happening?

Modular means it is like a Lego , you can build and add on to it for as long as you stick to what they have.

You can buy cabinets that are 20, 40, 60 and 80 cm widths as well as some corner configuration.

If the space of your kitchen is 2.4m then you can fill up the wall with any configuration using the sizes of cabinets they offer.

You can return any kits that hasn't been assembled.

How much to extend & renovate the kitchen

Hi Guys,

My max budget is RM4000. I need a full kitchen cabinet with built in hob and hood. For my new apartment.

Please help me suggest some good kitchen cabinet companies or groups. With their promo and packages.

anyone here using IKEA kitchen cabinet? Want to ask regarding gas tank location, where do you store your gas tank ya? the design draft I got from IKEA staff gave me a 40cm shelf unit beside the hob, BUT I came home to measure my petronas gas tank the width is at 46cm, definitely won't fit, how do you guys solve it ya?

why not opt for 60cm wide carcass?

oh yeaa :x could've done that. sacrifice a bit of width on the other side, thanks!

BTW just to share experience for IKEA quotation vs Signature Kitchen + Rowenda.

for the exact same things (with minor differences) but same measurement, rowenda quoted 26k, signature quoted 35k (after "discount"), IKEA quoted 17k (+3k for installation or free if DIY).

and IKEA also uses imported blum hinges + dampeners from Austria

wow i wonder what goes in to a 35k sig kitchen offer?

Did the cabinet quotes given consist of similar materials for countertop and cabinet frame/ carcass? Any accessories?

Yo bro. I also in the midst of getting ikea KC. Mine total for top is 10ft and bottom 20 feet (mixture of L shape n I shape) around 9k± without installation (been told by ikea own stuff i can DIY it, the hardest part is just to install the rail. N make sure its atraight)

Whats your counter top choice? Quartz series from ikea is at expensive side right

Hello all sifu, sijeh,

I came across one of you mentioned about Honsénz Kitchen Group but they are located in Seremban. I already submitted my inquiry, but
has anyone came across other KC that use the same material or provide the same solution as them (anti termites and water proof) around Klang Valley area?

Why squeezeboard (PVC + Chalkboard) is recommended for kitchen cabinet and walltop building as it need to support heavy weight items ah.. no? I wonder it will have durability problem in the long run or not..

Any info/other KC recommendations is much appreciated TQTQ

Hi sifus,

I would like to seek opinion about my kitchen kabinet quotation. I get quoted for 14.2k for my dry and wet kitchen. Is it reasonable?

Kabinet material : fomica
Table top wet kitchen : solid surface
Table top bar for dry kitchen : quartz stone

Hi. I'm planning to get ikea KC. Since people mention that ikea KC is modular, will there be any problem if i bought kitchen hob with non standard size? is ikea KC can be customized to fit in any type and size of kitchen hob?

Also, do people usually purchase kitchen hob and set before installing KC or is it ok to install KC first and later decide what kitchen hob to buy?

I think its better to choose your kitchen hob or have a clue on what you are planning to get when you buy your kitchen cabinet. Options are range cooker, built in hob and non built in stove. If using gas hob, you will also need to choose where to place your gas tank. If using electrical hob, you might need to arrange electrical wiring.

The back up option will be to use a non built in stove top. Just to note... ikea kitchen cabinets are 90cm standard height so it will be quite tall if you put a stove on top of it.

Why waste money to redo the wet and dry kitchen top? Just add in the cabinet under the existing top can already.

Hmm... Seems like an addition on storage space, countertop space and improve ventilation.

a) Add in the cabinet under the existing tile concrete countertop.

b) Add in an extra countertop (bout 5.5 ft solid surface) & wall cabinets (bout 7.5 feet) at the wet kitchen so it is L shape.

If use existing countertop at the wet kitchen for the stove or built in hob, few issues...
1. Won't be able to wall mount a kitchen hood (need a kitchen island hood)
2. It is in front of a window strong wind? fire risk?
3. Cramp space & work flow disruption. Already used to the stove being at that area. Moving will reduce countertop space that could disrupt work flow.

c) And add in a peninsula/ bar at the dry kitchen so it is L shape also.

d) Installation of a hood.

It's good to have more countertop space. ..

Hi ,
Thanks for the reply but i think you get misunderstood
1. For wet kitchen with existing tiles table top i’ll just add fomica cabinet. Additional solid surface table top added as per drawing for kitchen hob area. It will be merge with existing table top.
2. Dry kitchen also still using existing tiles table top. Just additional bar counter will be added with quartz tabletop.
3. At the bar table top one lighting point will be added
4. One bottle drawer, dish rack, spoon / utensil organizer at wet kitchen and one dish rack given at dry kitchen.
5. kitchen cabinet height till ceiling.
