Purchased a 30 year old townhouse and gutted the kitchen right down to the studs. Option one was to have a custom kitchen installed by a cabinet company out of Coquitlam. The pros there were: good price (about the same as Ikea), cabinets built to my EXACT DESIGN (no need for filler strips on the ends etc)and the ability to pick from a myraid of stains. The con in that case was only timeline: lead time was 8-9 weeks. The Ikea kitchen cost about the same, but I was able to have it installed 2 weeks after I purchased it. With some creativity I was able to make it look almost like my original design. I spent about $200 extra to have the installers add a few details that made it look less cookie cutter and it turned out great. MODUS did the installation and the guys were friendly and did great work. My take: if you have time to wait, go custom if you are pressed for time, Ikea is an excellent option.
