1. Box Count- IKEA is a modular cabinet box system.
Box Count Method - Count your existing kitchen cabinet boxes. Multiply your existing cabinet count by $246 and you will have a rough estimate of what it will cost you to replace those cabinets with IKEA kitchen cabinets. Example: say you have 15 cabinet now, (15 x $246= $3690) this is the cost of the cabinets, moldings, panels and hardware. Add another $200 per box to estimate the labor cost of installation (15 x $200= $3,000 for installation) Total cost is $6690 for your cabinets labor and materials.
2. Door frame Style- This is the style of the doors panels and drawers
Hardwood frames cost more than the flat white panels. IKEA offers a wide range of wood species and wood colors. The prices can rise by 20% when you upgrade to solid hard wood door panels. Simply add that to the cabinet cost to get an estimate of what your doord will cost.
3. Hardware- Pull outs affect cost
IKEA does have some great storage options. The pantry drawers come in a large variety of height depending on what you intend to store. Consider your storage needs when selecting storage hardware.
4. Work site- Do you have a safe place to store the cabinet?
IKEA cabinets are shipped in flat boxes. They must be assembled prior to installation. Consider a location on the jobsite that they can stored. It must be a dry place that will be safe from theft or damage during construction. The work crew will need a place to assemble the boxes. The closer this location is to the kitchen the better.
