Hello
We had an Ikea kitchen installed a couple of years ago with solid beech worktops. A split developed a few months after this - only now have I bothered to contact IKEA to see if I can get it sorted on the back of the 25 guarantee they offer.
So we had the 3rd party inspection a week or so ago which has gone back to IKEA claiming "no manufacturing fault." i.e it must be someone else's fault! Just so happens that this type of process has been highlighted in the media recently, see:
http://www.theguardian.com/money/2015/mar/28/ikea-25-year-kitchen-guarantee
So this is pretty much exactly what I have experienced.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to whether it's worth me digging my heals in with this? I have oiled the worktop regularly by the way.
cheers
