Should I put in an Ikea kitchen?

Ikea kitchens are inexpensive and pretty. But I'm worried about the cabinets falling apart quickly. One site I read said to use Ikea cabinet frames but buy hardware and doors from a local cabinetmaker. Anybody living with an Ikea or Ikea-hybrid kitchen? How do you like it?

1. My mother-in-law put some Ikea cabinets in her kitchen and she loves them. If I remember correctly, she did have to get hardware elsewhere.
2. I would suggest maybe not going with the venner choices that Ikea has to offer because of the possibilty of water getting on them since it's a kitchen. Ikea does offer a few choices with real oak. They also carry a heavy plastic that would probably hold up better than the veener. Also, did you consider going to lowes???
