Flat Pack vs Custom Kitchens: Pros and Cons

Flat Pack / IKEA Kitchens (e.g., Kaboodle at Bunnings): Affordable, quicker to install, plenty of style options. Downsides: limited sizing, less durable over time, and trickier for unique layouts. Reviews often highlight installation challenges.

Custom Kitchens (local cabinet makers like Dwyercon works with): Made-to-measure, higher quality materials, and designed to suit your exact lifestyle. Higher upfront cost, but better durability and long-term value.

If you’re weighing up IKEA kitchen installation vs local cabinet makers in Melbourne, consider not just cost but also functionality, warranty, and how long you plan to stay in the home.
