Does IKEA market their kitchen cabinets under different names?

Question

I've been shopping around for an apt in New York. I noticed that many of the new developments use cabinets that look just like IKEA cabinets. Same look, same construction, same hardware. They just use nicer fronts and countertops. But the name of the manufacturer is different on the little name plates inside. I know this because I installed a full IKEA kitchen recently. Are these cabinets really IKEA cabinets with the brand name changed? I would love to get to the bottom of this.

Answer 1

The manufacturers are getting supplies from similar sources and selling to different retailers. They all look the same because this is what has been popularized.
