I don't like my cabinets, either, and I would just assume buy new ones because ours are almost as old as yours are. I'd also like to reconfigure the cabinets and I want large drawers for the bottom cabinets; soooo much easier for pots and pans and you don't have to bend down and dig your items out of deep cabinets. Also all the new lazy susan/spice rack, etc. options are appealing to me.
When I convince my husband that we need a new kitchen, I am going to most definitely consider IKEA cabinets first. I've seen many reviews of them, including here on this site, and the reviews are excellent. I even read that a former Home Depot employee that worked in the kitchen section said that the IKEA cabinets are actually made better than Kraftmade, etc. and have higher quality hardware/hinges than what is sold at the big box stores and Home Depot. And they are a fraction of the cost. Something to think about...
