Hello everyone!
I have bought a Faktum kitchen. It also includes a base cabinet with 5 drawers, the bottom one is a bit larger than the others. My problem is that I can't get the fronts to align, I've tried everything. The gap between the bottom one and the one above is simply too large. Also, the drawer protrudes downwards extremely. Oh dear, I hope I have expressed myself clearly enough :confused:

Can someone help me?

Thank you!

Best regards, Biene

Hello Biene,
please turn the bottom drawer front around! The brackets screwed to the drawer front are not in the middle, so you have a smaller and a larger distance. The front can be easily removed with a screwdriver on the side (under the Ikea flap).
Regards
Paul

Hey dear Paul, THANK YOU for this great tip! Why keep it simple when it can be complicated *laugh*. BUT: I can't get the front off. Behind the flap there are only two plastic screws for adjusting the height and, ahem, well... right/left.

And now? The plastic screws have already suffered a bit after my "treatment". :oops:

Best regards, Biene

So, I took off the front after all. Unfortunately, flipping it doesn't help. I'll probably have to drill new holes.

Best regards, Sabine

Then better check the fit of the rails.
