"If you know Ikea, you're familiar with the convenience and style the Swedish home store retailer delivers, all at affordable prices. But when designing your kitchen with Ikea cabinets, should you just go ahead and go for Ikea countertops too? If you ask homeowners, you'll get a slew of mixed opinions. Some Ikea customers say they love Ikea's pre-cut and custom countertops, which come in different kinds of kitchen countertop materials from laminate to glass composite to stone, for their accessible prices and classic looks."
""Ikea used much thinner quartz than what we wanted," echoing concerns others brought up like the thinner countertops' susceptibility to chipping and wear and tear. Ultimately, like many other homeowners on the thread, that particular customer went with a local company which offered a thicker countertop slab for a better price. Many people also stated that Ikea sources many of their countertop options in bulk from local shops,"
Ikea offers pre-cut and custom countertops in materials ranging from laminate and glass composite to stone, often at accessible prices and classic designs. Homeowner experiences vary; some appreciate affordability and convenience while others report thinner quartz slabs that chip more easily. Many shoppers find local fabricators can supply thicker stone slabs, more color and style options, and sometimes lower prices. Ikea often sources countertop materials in bulk from local shops, which limits customization. Typical Ikea countertop costs range roughly $2,000 to $5,000 excluding installation, about $59 to $89 per square foot, comparable to big-box retailers.
