Hi everyone
Just wanted to share personal experience using IKEA cabinets in my rental. I know it’s usually a debate whether or not to use them. Well after 2 years of renting.. still holding up fine with no issues! Just did a turnover to new tenants and they clean up nice! Easily wiped down, stains came right off etc.
Of note when I assembled them originally, I used construction adhesive on all connecting joints and added an extra trim head cabinet screw on large pieces to really hold them together. No water damage from tenants so bottoms (inside) are good. Those were caulked as well just in case.
If anyone has any other questions about using these cabinets... ask away!

Thanks for sharing. I have always wondered about the durability of IKEA kitchen cabinets. I used some IKEA vanities in our personal residence, and they've aged fine for about 5 years.
