Has Ikea told you there is no Ramsjo white 15" doors in the whole of the USA? If you haven't talked to a kitchen person at your local Ikea, you might consider going in early on a weekday and make a face-to-face plea for help with a nice person in a yellow shirt. If they are kind and enjoy a challenge, they might be able to source something for you.

I assume you have tried Craigslist and eBay? If you can't come up with them, the two-toned look can work, especially since you have the top done and need the bottom. Maybe a wood finish door style for the bottom?

IKEA has told me 3x in 2 weeks that there's no more of any of the doors I want (someone earlier told me they should get more in stock, but lately the party line is "we're done, it was while supplies last and supplies didn't last") - I WAS able to get a shorter 12" set of doors and a 24" and 30" cabinet so if I can source 2 15" x 30" doors or 12"x30" doors I should be ok - I got a 12"x24" door so will need to use a sink panel and pay more to have the carpenter set up the panel instead of having the longer sink cabinet doors that would look better in this kitchen. And I can get a dishwasher that isn't hidden and has an exterior panel if needed. - PROBLEM is that I really prefer a 30" cab so need the 15" doors and I tried Craigslist and eBay as those are my go-to places but either whoever has extras hasn't listed them for sale yet or there just aren't any.

I suppose I could go to my local IKEA but I'm in NYC and the only time that's in any way sane to go is 10 a.m. on any day when it opens - and I've been trying to do that for weeks to no avail (between work and other obligations)... after it gets going for the day lines are insane..

How about doing an entirely different color on the base cabinets?

Like grey or black, or whatever. The big$$$$$$$$ German and Italian manufs. Do this all the time.

Have you found a solution to the Ram so cabinet door problem? If you have I am very interested to know if you found a source. I am in a similar situation and am in need of 4 upper and 2 lower doors. What hAve you done to solve the problem?

We ended up needing Ramsjo white cover panels that were missing. I'll tell you what I did because it could translate to doors. As you know, Ramsjo is very slightly translucent. I did a lot of experimentation and ended up replicating the finish pretty well. I used Behr (Home Depot) satin finish in China Cup. I diluted it with a product called Floetrol, also available at Home Depot using the proportions 4 parts Floetrol to 1 part paint. This made a glaze that was very translucent. We bought plain wood boards and I painted them with four or five light coats of this glaze. This ended up giving me a nice, even, slightly translucent finish. Maybe you could get plain wood doors made from one of the companies that make them for Ikea cabinets and do the same. Of course please do some practice boards to see how it looks for you.

Would it be possible to see a photo or two of your cabinets Bethjerome? That sounds like an interesting solution - the tricky part with Ramsjo white is that the cabinet doors have a lovely pattern that is not as common as you might think - I've seen it from time to time in other cabinet lines (probably more like semi-custom) but not close enough to an exact match.

So a few suggestions to respond to Sherry's inquiry - first, IKEA now offers laxarby in the US which is basically Ramsjo - but NOT in white. they offer it in a black or black-brown and I inquired and they have no plans to offer it in white in the US (no idea why), it's available in the UK (so, well, if you're in the UK and they will ship to the US, maybe that's one option). In the meantime, www.scherrs.com can replicate the doors and the price is reasonable, if you send them a pic of the door - I have gotten as far as a quote but haven't ordered them yet so can't vouch for them, but they seem great to deal with and have a good rep generally (an architect told me about them as an IKEA alternative that's custom ready to assemble and not much more than ikea). And I've got alerts on ebay and craigslist and so far have been able to buy one Ramsjo white door for a reasonable price used, so it's not impossible to find them used, but almost.

Here is a picture where you can kind of see the finish I did - it's the cover panel. It's not our primary residence or I'd take a better photo today.

Here are a few of the cover panel on the side of the pantry that show the panel in process. Sorry the color isn't better.

Wow, I am really bummed. I love the Ramsjo doors so much more that the plain shaker style (grimslov) that is available. I can't fall in love with the Bodbyn door either. I am waiting on a quote from Scherr's for something close to good old Ramsjo. Luckily, we have been working on this kitchen design for 5 years but haven't gotten around to ordering. Sherry, did you get a quote from Scherr's? I am still waiting. Got a quote for standard shaker, but would love something a little different. Makes you wonder what happened to all the old IKEA doors..... I am not a super big fan of the plasticy looking mdf/fiberboard and unless it is super expensive, probably going to use a custom door most likely scherrs.

I've yet to find a good substitute for the Ramsjo doors. The Kokeena Old English doors were close but lack the beveled edge. (ETA: They're also not wood.)

Since I saw this mentioned upthread:

IKEA now offers laxarby in the US which is basically Ramsjo - but NOT in white

I wanted to clarify, for anyone that stumbles onto this thread in the future, that they're actually not the same doors. The molding profile seems the same but the rails and stiles are quite a bit more narrow than the Ramsjo doors were.

Kristensgc, good to know. I was just thinking about getting old English quoted, but think it might be quite a bit more expensive according to the model picture in Kokeena's website. Did you by chance get them quoted? Just curious. Thanks.

I didn't. I just recently bought the new Laxarby drawer fronts (3 - 5" tall slab and 1 - 15" tall recessed panel) and then realized the recessed panel was different. Since it's only one drawer front that's problematic, I'm going to stick with the Laxarby for now. But if it bothers me, I might buy a shaker front down the road and add molding.

I found a company online called Allstyle doors out of Canada and they might have a couple of doors that are really close to Ramsjo in solid wood or wood frame MDF panel. I am waiting on a quote right now. Not sure of cost on these with shipping to the US, but hoping that since the American dollar is so strong right now, it might be a good deal. Will try to keep posted. My husband is leaning back towards the traditional shaker which I might price out as well as I really don't like the plastic look of the Grimslov door or the routed out sections in the frame.

We have an OTR microwave we want to install in a house we just bought that has the older Akurum kitchen, and weren't sure what to do about replacing (modifying?) the bigger cabinet doors currently above the range. Gah. So I've just sent off for a quote via Allstyle Doors (thanks for the suggestion, Marcia Moore!) and have my fingers crossed. I hear that shortening the actual cabinet is easier than modifying the doors, so if we can get a replicate pair of doors made then we should be able to figure it out from there!

We fitted out our whole kitchen with the white Ramsjo doors and drawer fronts less than three years ago. Now we are forced to replace our butcher block counter tops (bad decision) and the white Ramsjo just won't match the new choice.... We thought of selling the Ramsjo as they are so new but we didn't know if anyone would want them, so we were going to spray paint them. I was looking for paint recommendations when I came across this thread! However, if we can sell them to cover the cost of getting new ones in a different color, we'd be happy to do that. We have about 20 doors of varying sizes and about 10 drawer fronts including the deep ones. The shipping costs from Philadelphia could be hefty, though!

Hi, I am very interested. We are looking to finish our kitchen and discovered that they discontinued the color. What condition are they in and what do you have available? My email address is anahafers@gmail.com.

Hey everyone...

I had the same exact problem. Some of the thermofoil doors/cabinets started to peel on about 4-5 of my doors. I found a company that is amazing from California. I live in Boston but wanted to provide this info as they so far have been the best fix I could come by. The website is below:

http://www.cabinetnow.com

I purchased the Artesia RTF Cabinet Door - Frosty Satin White to match and then had the TSQ cut corner. I've attached a picture of the replacements. In my kitchen...can't noticed the difference. They also can do cabinet faces for the drawer fronts. It's the solid door front with TSQ edge. They will talk you through it. See attached photos. Hope this helps everyone with this same FRUSTRATING problem that I had. WAY better than replacing the entire kitchen cabinets!

The second photo is an original next to a replacement. If you're staring at them you may notice a slight difference, but once up...seriously the same. Well worth it and reasonably priced. Shipped to my door. GOOD LUCK!

@ellythebrave, what did you and up doing? If you have a dishwasher panel to sell, I live close enough to Philadelphia that we could each drive 45-60 minutes and meet in the middle.

Elly the brave I need one 15” wide door do you have one left? My email is dweart@hotmail.com thanks

Elly The Brave, by any chance do you still have your Ramsjo pieces? I need a 36” drawer front or a cover panel from which I can cut the equivalent size.
