Beware Ikea's new kitchen cabinet system called Sektion. There is a horrible flaw in its design. Great doors, but a backing that looks like it will fail very easily when you actually try to use it. These cabinets seemed to be designed for people who put nothing in their kitchen cupboards.
I just finished helping my son put together the new Section Ikea Kitchen Cabinets. The back panel is just a flimsy piece of plastic laminate, less than 1/8 thick that slips into a groove and is nailed in place not very securely. For the wider cabinets the backing panel is folded in two and taped together with what looks like package tape. This makes it very wobbly and doesn't connect in any way to anything but those little nails at the edges. There is no bracing on the back, and because of how they are made and installed, they are not against the wall. How long before a can of soup or a frying pan handle pops that backing off? If it was a bookcase that can be easily fixed it would be one thing, but these are installed with countertops on them. It will be impossible to fix them, so there will be a hole in the back of the cabinet for things to fall through into the dark, unreachable space between the cabinet and the wall.
I didn't have the heart to tell my son how horrible they were. He had just spent thousands of dollars on them. I think Ikea should fire whoever designed these and come up with a fix. Customer Service had no advice.
