Attach Ikea Besta doors and drawers to Pax

Hello Ikea fans,

Just registered and already I need your help.

I would like to have a cabinet for my kitchen. Requirements:
At least 100cm wide, as tall as possible, 60cm deep, many drawers and shelves, everything closed, and it should also be cheap.

With the Metod series, this can be easily put together, but unfortunately not cheaply. Therefore, I want to assemble it from used Pax and Besta modules. Because these are more likely to be bought used than individual Metod cabinets.

The problem is mainly that with Pax the doors go completely from top to bottom and the drawers are exclusively inside. The problem with Besta is that it’s not deep enough for me. So the question is: can you maybe attach doors and drawers from Besta to Pax?

Alternatively, I already thought about the wardrobes and dressers from the Stuva series, but unfortunately I don’t like that the doors have holes. Is there possibly a trick for that?

Thanks for all your ideas!

why this idea? the metod kitchen is expensive only because of the fronts and side panels or soft-close drawers. if you only buy a metod carcass with Veddinge front, you get cheap prices. take a look at the prices of metod carcasses:

METOD
Base cabinet carcass, white

then you’ll realize that the tinkering is hardly worth it, especially since with PAX etc. you have different hole spacings that don’t fit the metod accessories.

With the HÄGGEBY front, it becomes even cheaper. Have you already looked at Knoxhult and FYNDIG?



PAX does not fit anything else in width, BESTA and Stuva are not stable enough with their hollow cabinets for the kitchen. Maybe you can also find a cheap Faktum kitchen second-hand.
