How are your cabinets holding up?
Comments (9)IKEA Nexus (discontinued yellow-brown color), now entering their fourth year.The cabinets have held up beautifully, with drawer mechanisms as smooth as ever, and no problem with the weight of dishes or pots/pans in the 30" and 36" deep drawers. The only problem came from something unrelated to everyday kitchen use -- a skylight leak that led to puddles. We have panels to the floor on the ends of the island, and they managed to wick up some moisture from the puddles, so are discolored at the bottom. We'd swap out the panels if the color hadn't been discontinued. We're not worried about it for now, but if and when we decide to sell we'll need to address it somehow,...See MoreHow old is your Blum hardware and is it holding up?
Comments (15)We demolished a +15 y/o kitchen (IKEA) with Blum hardware in my parents' house and everything including the hardware was in perfect working condition. My own kitchen is over 7 years old and no problem with the Blum hardware. Honestly this is such a quality product that I think that any problem may come from a bad installation and/or some debris/dust trapped in the glides. Another possibility may be that the wood/plywood/particle board bottom of your drawer is warped because some moisture got there, this would impede the glides to work properly. Blum states that their glides are rated for 100,000 opening/closing cycles.
