I did a full kitchen renovation in Ikea everything. Did everything myself. Brought all the measurements to an ikea kitchen planner in store, so she made sure I had all the spacers, kick plates, island/wall mounts, gables, molding etc. Purchased everything during the kitchen event, so with the gift cards we got in savings on the kitchen, we bought everything to remodel our primary bath. Installation was smooth and easy, and I'm very happy with the results! Answer from Tall_Stock7688 on reddit.com

We have an appointment with Ikea's kitchen planning folks coming up, and we were just wondering what to expect and how best to prepare (aside from picking out the door style/general layout). They will be at our house for 4 hours, to include measuring, so I imagine that could go pretty quick if we're trying to make any last minute decisions.

I did all the measuring/planning myself through their app online. I was biting my nails with the finished product though, praying I did everything right. I measured like 10 times to be sure. I think hiring the store to come out would've been a lot better. Pretty sure they guarantee the job too. The people who work there are great, and will also guide you through the tool and the options. Good luck!

We had them come out and measure everything and found that they were really helpful in helping us figure out the final layout and flow of everything. Since our kitchen was pretty tight as far as what we could fit in it, it was good to have the expert there to remind us that we needed things like trim panels in certain places which add an extra half an inch here and there. He was also really helpful in figuring out things like how far the island should be from the counters and how much space we should leave around the windows and doors. He also reminded us that certain cabinets will need a spacer to be able to open fully due to clearance with the wall. We also were able to take advantage of the promotion where we got that $200 back in the form of a gift card which we were able to apply to our countertops. The one thing I will say, is that if something looks fishy, don't hesitate to doublecheck. Initially, our guy had told us that we could only fit 9" open wine racks on either side of our microwave instead of 12 " cabinets. After remeasuring a couple times and going over it with him, he eventually agreed that the cabinets would fit. It was almost a dealbreaker for us because we really didn't like the look of the wine racks, and don't really drink wine. We are just finishing up installing the cabinets, and they fit great!

I have paid to have Ikea come in and measure my kitchen. I believe this is done by a local 3rd party, but I am not sure. Does anyone have any experience with this service and renovating their kitchen with Ikea? Any tips etc. you could share?
I have already chosen the Ikea finishes and know that I want an undermount sink. However, I plan to get the sink and faucet from home depot instead of Ikea. I will also be getting a 3rd party counter vs. ikea counters.
TIA.

Doing an Ikea kitchen install is definitely doable for a person with some basic skills with tools. I installed one several years ago. I took my measurements ( I was working with an empty room) to the kitchen planner as well. Dom't forget to do a diagram showing precise distances of where the windows and range hood exhaust are in relation to doors and windows and corners. It is also a good idea to verify that corners are square (use large carpenters square to verify 90 degrees.

r/IKEA on Reddit: IKEA messed up and I don't know what to do
September 17, 2024 -
I am located in the EU and we ordered a kitchen from IKEA and used their measuring, design, and assembly services. All through IKEA. While the technician was assembling the kitchen, he realized that there were problems. This was the result:
The measuring/assembly company measured incorrectly since the walls sloped inwards, meaning everything won't fit.
The measuring/assembly company didn't make the right measurements.
IKEA admits via email that the designer should have accounted for some centimeter(s) on each side, since it's the cabinets are clearly swollen if they don't even fit in the widest part.
They tried to design other options that all look terrible, break the symmetry, and results in lost space. The kitchen I paid for and wanted is not possible, and they are asking us to compromise.
The boss of measuring/assembly company who actually did the measurements himself accused my wife on the phone of messing this all up for terrible reasons, such as her not making enough room somewhere for him to see, and such. He never asked us to do anything.
They are talking internally about a discount they can offer, but nothing is certain. My apartment is filled to the brim with all kitchen pieces, there is barely any space for living, I have no kitchen sink, stove, or oven.
What are my options? They are trying to give me options, but I'm doubting whether I even want to deal with this shit anymore. Help is very much appreciated.

We had a very similar problem with ikea in Germany. The measuring service missed measuring something and we were caught between ikea and the company. Ikea wanted us to pay for another measuring otherwise they would not be liable. Then during our final review they told us they could not recommend their own installers because of shoddy work. Too many red flags so we stopped the process.

My answer is not going to help but rest assured that the Ikea planners do wrong daily. I install Ikea kitchens but not for Ikea, only for my own clients and I see mistakes in 100% of the plans Ikea make. Since their planners have zero installation experience, they simply don't know that a wall that isn't plumb can cause problems with a plan that's a tight fit already. I offer a service where I do "layout plan review" but you passed that milestone. Your task ahead is to make Ikea take full responsibility and fix the problem. But as others have said, be sure to know what a desired outcome looks like to you. All the best.

Just had a virtual IKEA kitchen planning appointment--it worked well
The kitchen planning employee (she is from Traemand or at least that is what the e-mail indicated) sent me a couple e-mails asking me to provide certain measurements beforehand and to provide the link to any planning I had already done. She told me employees can no longer directly get into a customer's planning account. This is where things started to fall apart. Supposedly if the customer copies and pastes the link that is up when her planner is opened, the employee can then directly link the account and the plans. IKEA's employee couldn't get into my plan link that I'd sent her.
