30 cm front = 20 + 10? and new: 140 cupboard niche height

Hello dear Ikea FANS,

I think I remember that with the old Faktum kitchen, there was the possibility to connect two smaller fronts into a taller front using metal connecting rods (on the inside, from the outside it then looked like 2 drawers). I hope you understand what I mean.

I somehow haven't found this option with the new Metod kitchen? Is it not available? That would be really annoying because I absolutely need 30 cm high drawers.

Many greetings from Berlin

Hello, that also works with METOD. For example,


METOD / Maximera
Base cabinet for sink/3 fronts/2 drawers, white, Veddinge white

Oh thank you very much, IKEA expert, I always looked in the wrong category, I somehow already thought that they must have something like that in their range.

Then there is also a second question, namely about the 140 cm half-height cabinet:

if the cabinet is 140 high, then the niche height is probably minus the 1.8 cm base plate, right? So only 138? Then I can't put a built-in fridge with a niche height of 140 cm in, right? Oh man, that would be really stupid, then only a 122 fridge would remain (but then something would be missing in terms of space) or I have to shorten a normal tall cabinet. Does anyone have this at home and can please measure the niche height? That would be really great.

Best regards

So only 138?

Yes.

So I can't put a built-in fridge with a niche height of 140 cm in, right?

Yes, unless the niche dimension was not correctly specified by the manufacturer.

Wouldn't 200 cm also work?

You could use HELANDE at the top or bottom. It would be easier than shortening a door.

Yes, the thing with the door will really be fun, especially since the manufacturers do not write anything about the minimum furniture door height on the internet. So far, I have only dealt with IKEA kitchens without built-in refrigerators, such a refrigerator installation including the door really seems to be a challenge.
