If you aren't happy to replace with IKEA doors then get a refund and take a look at DIY kitchens - lots of people on here have used them and I've only heard good things.
They will be MDF but as @Airhead said, most kitchen fronts are. As long as they are sealed properly they are fine. You were just unlucky!
Solid wood with ply panels is a very durable option. Ply panels are a little more difficult to get a smooth finish on though. Wood does not come easy or cheap these days though, it's not really that easy to choose. A properly made waterproof Mdf door should be very durable. There are lots of options depending on budget. Flat panels are the cheap durable option of course.
