    Have fun!!! The units are quite easy to assemble and pretty sturdy. Are you getting Ikea worktops too? If not then be aware the units are slightly deeper back to front than some others . The Ikea tops are I think 606mm while most others are 600mm. We had to use a non Ikea top in our Guide hall utility room and it only just covers the doors.
    In our house we have the beech block tops which we find good. If you are considering them do not use the Ikea wood treatment on them, rather get the stuff called "Rustic" or "Danish" Oil, it gives a lovely finish. Treat both sides.
    Good Luck!!!
