I have no idea of the Ikea prices for kitchens here...
I only know that, in Belgium, they were extreme good value for their money. A kitchen built by one of the major kitchen manufcturers (including state-of-the-art appliances) would have costed me 25,000 to 35,000 euro. The same kitchen by Ikea, installed by them, costed me 10,000 euro. There were some minor issues with the installation, but they corrected them without any questions.
I did not have the house long enough to tell you about endurance, but the first 5 years went without a glitch.
I went for Ikea, because I reasoned that, if necessary I could have 3 new kitchens for the price of one. And, if you like modern looking kitchens, you have to renew anyways.
Having said that, I have seen some nice modern looking kitchens, built by local tradespeople, in solid wood. No idea of the cost.
