It's definitely a replacement but it might just be a dodgy panel - I wouldn't expect the rest of them in your kitchen to react like that to a bit of water - otherwise IKEA would be spending a lot of time and effort constantly replacing water damaged panels.

Maybe I should test the other panels....
To be honest it's just crappy fibreboard. If this has happened after just a couple of weeks I don't have much faith in the kitchen being durable in the long term, especially with a toddler, so I'd want a refund on all the doors and replace them with something better.
What materials should I be looking at for long term durability? Just solid wood?

I have some questions:
