Buy Ikea Metod carcasses separately from doors and drawers?

Hello everyone,

we are moving this month and need a new kitchen. I quite like the Metod series, but my girlfriend and I are not yet completely agreed on the appearance of the fronts. My idea was to buy the carcasses now, put the countertop on, connect the sink and electrical appliances, and only later think about the type of drawers and the fronts.

My question, therefore, is short and to the point: Is this possible? And if so, will buying carcasses and fronts separately be much more expensive than buying a complete set, or is there not much difference?

There is no change in the price at all. You can already buy the Metod cabinets and install and use the drawers without fronts. I had to do that for weeks because my chosen front was not available. You can then easily attach the fronts later. Regards

Ok, great and thanks for the quick response. Maybe I'll have the fronts made somewhere myself. Honestly, I don't understand why a rectangular board at Ikea should cost up to €50. The material value is not even worth €5.

Hello, it usually doesn't get cheaper if you have fronts made by companies like beptum.de. Also, you still have to drill the holes for the pull-outs yourself. Compare the prices for your preferred front on koettbilligar.de. A short vacation combined with buying fronts can sometimes be worthwhile. Förvara drawers might be too unstable to use without fronts, with Maximera this is only partly a problem.

I also assumed Maximera. Who still buys drawers without soft-close these days....

If the budget does not allow it or in a holiday apartment...
