Disagree it lasts 5-10 times longer. IKEA kitchens will last anywhere from 10-30 years. 5-10 times longer is 50-300 years, which is well outside the range veneered hardwood kitchen cabinets will last.

depends on the ikea product.

I had ikea stuff that:

- bubbled when liquid spilled on it

- scratched easily

- had screws loosen over time. basically all of them

(this was non-kitchen stuff, I just haven't bought a kitchen from them)
