I have had carpenters install a Kaboodle kitchen and an Ikea kitchen at 2 rental properties. The Kaboodle has been in for 10 years and still looks good but the corner hinge keeps snapping and one handle broke.

The Ikea kitchen was about $11k installed Nov 2023 including all appliances (dishwasher, oven, induction cooktop, range hood, butler's sink) and it looked much swankier. The planning tool caused me great frustration at first. They have support but not living close to the store (2.5hrs) made it less convenient.

Ikea was the better looking kitchen for less but I did spend a lot more time behind the scenes getting it right!

Neither Kaboodal or Ikea kitchens are worth getting. Better off using Blum for hinges and Laminex for benchtops. Go to a business that specialises in cutting Laminate will be a lot cheaper and better quality.

Kaboodle offer Blum hinges & laminex bench tops.

However getting a local cabinetmaker to measure, cut & install your benchtop to your flat pack saves any chance of getting the measurements wrong and gives you a professional finish
