1 abandon measurements
A measurement plan in the kitchen planning is a very important point that can not be missed. Otherwise there is a risk just not to fit into the size of the kitchen or get problems with access to outlets, then the connection of the equipment will be impossible. You can make measurements yourself, but still better turn to a specialist. Moreover, the payment for the services of the IKEA marker is then deducted from the amount you pay for the kitchen. It turns out that this service will not cost anything, and the measurement plan will remain you forever.
2 Save on delivery
Depending on the remoteness of your home from the IKEA store, the shipping cost begins from 749 rubles. Kitchen cabinets and additional modules are delivered unchanged. These are dozens of boxes of different sizes that may simply do not get into the usual passenger car. Therefore, it is quite rational to order delivery to the door and not to suffer with loading numerous boxes.
