Yesterday I spent all day at Ikea designing a kitchen and choosing all the finishes with a client.  I was very impressed.  Not with the fact that they give you very little guidance to get you started, or that they keep you waiting for a long time, but about the product.  It is great!  Stylish, good quality, lots of sizes to choose from and now that they have everything from appliances to the kitchen sink, you really don't have to look elsewhere.  If you don't like crowds, stay away, especially during the kitchen sale going on now, but otherwise do consider an Ikea kitchen.  There are ways to make it look custom too so it is truly a great product.
