I'm just finishing up my suite which i used all Ikea cabinets and the quality of the soft closers on the drawers are better than the majority of cabinet makers we used when building townhomes, Cantebury kitchens etc. had worse quality hardware than Ikea.

The island is actually made with cabinets back to back. (so those are doors not panel)
The sink side are full depth 25" drawer cabinet, and the back side are 15" depth doors (push open). So the island cabinets add up to 40" deep.
The island top is 50" deep, which leaves about 10" of overhang for the stool.
The island "gable" is the actually the quartz countertop with a waterfall edge. (So the countertop wrap both ends of the island)
One thing I did "differently" was the gable left of the fridge. The ikea gable looked too thin (3/4"), so I bought a plain white 98"x25"x1.5" countertop and laid it vertically to give it a thicker looks. ($80 which is cheaper than their 3/4" cover panel)
FYI..i also raised my cabinet 1" higher than standard (37"?)
So I can't use the ikea original kick plate (plinth?) since they are 1" short. I just use the big cover panel they sell and cut them to the height I need. Which is also much cheaper but a bit more work.
Pic was taken a while ago...I had all the doors, top trims, and kick plate installed since...
