The above counter cabinet doors are MDF 2 pack poly with metal mesh inserts and the floor to ceiling cupboard are MDF 2 pack poly with v grooves. Does that make sense?!

Thanks! They were pretty good - it was fairly painless but we had great installers (independent but allocated by Ikea to us) and I think that would make the difference. We were bullied into use a sparky/plumber company who were expensive (not massively but just an annoying amount) and less careful than we would have liked. We won't fall for that again. Next time we will use our own regardless of the supposed 'hassle' this causes. One thing though is that we originally decided to use Ikea for the ability to replace elements should they break. But we discover now that they change their 'kitchen systems' every few years and ours is now obsolete. A bit annoying. It is a great kitchen though and we will probably use them again for cabinets and go a bit more individual for the bench top.

Hi Kel - all projects have different scope, extent of rectification of original home, extent of new works, level of finishes, access...list goes on. That said most of our inner-city projects (alterations and additions) cost from $600-800k upwards)

The crisp all white cabinetry really sets off the lovely rich dark flooring . I love those lighting pendants .I wish that was my kitchen .
