We just had Ikea cabinets installed by the Kitchen Couple--I can't recommend them enough. (www.thekitchencouple.com) They did a fantastic design for our kitchen, and removed ourexisting kitchen cabinets and backsplash installed our new cabinets in just one day. Their work was truly excellent and their rates were very reasonable. The one word of warning is that it can be a bit difficult to get calls/emails returned at the beginning of the process, but once you have moved up to the "top" of their list, they are very quick to respond and provided us a lot of excellent advice/info to help us through the process.

As for the Ikea cabinets, I am delighted at how good they look. Our whole kitchen isn't in yet (still awaiting countertops, backsplash etc), so I don't know how they'll look as part of the finished product, but I am loving them right now. We chose the Adel medium brown, which is a really rich, warm color. Several of our neighbors in our building have come by to take a look, and we've gotten lots of very positive feedback. I wouldn't go with Ikea for countertops and fixtures, but I'm really glad we chose them for our cabinets.
