The cheapest part of IKEA is the actual cabinets, thet are MDF and held together with those quick lock gizmos. However if you are willing to take a little more time and glue them as well, and then make sure you fasten them together and to the wall well, they will hold up fine. I re-did my parents kitchen with them and when they sold the place 10 years later they were all still working fine, all the doors still fit well, all the drawers wtill opened and closed fine.
