What to Compare
Home Depot's Hampton Bay uses similar materials at comparable pricing. For Florida, both are budget options — the critical upgrade is plywood box construction, which neither provides at their base price. For lasting quality in Florida's humidity, step up to semi-custom cabinets with plywood boxes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are IKEA kitchen cabinets good for Florida homes?
IKEA SEKTION cabinets perform adequately in climate-controlled Florida homes. The melamine coating on the box panels provides reasonable moisture resistance under normal indoor humidity conditions. For Florida kitchens, IKEA is a reasonable budget option if you're prepared to upgrade to plywood boxes for under-sink and adjacent areas.
What kitchen cabinet material is best for Florida humidity?
Plywood box construction is the critical specification for Florida kitchen cabinets.
How long do kitchen cabinets last in Florida?
Well-maintained semi-custom plywood box kitchen cabinets can last 25–30+ years in Florida. Cabinet doors and hardware typically outlast the box construction, making the box material the most important longevity factor.
