First usable row of holes for drawers from the top, height?

Hi!

I want to install a low Förvara drawer above my dishwasher (only semi-integrated, W 59.8 x D 57.3 x H 81.5 cm) and for that drill through the side walls of two Metod base cabinets for the rails. The dishwasher is 81.5 cm high, so due to the 88 cm high base cabinets there would be a 7.5 cm high gap below the countertop. So I would screw the METOD legs up by 2.5 cm to 10.5 cm and could then use a 10 cm high drawer front. Now the question is how high the first drill hole row usable for drawers from the top is on the base cabinets? It should actually work out because the drawer closes at the top anyway?

hello trulla, the question is actually not of importance, because.... you have to attach parts on the left and right, with the thickness of the side corpus (I think it was 2x1.8cm) anyway in order to fix the drawers. there you drill the holes as you need them. hole spacing from the top 5.2 10.2 15.2 etc every 5cm the one with 10.2 from the top should work but then you don’t need the 2cm top board above. this is supposed to be an inner drawer, right? for an outer panel / outer drawer you need 9.8cm high drawer fronts. then it won’t fit. regards robi ps. somehow I don’t understand how by raising the feet to 10.5 cm you want to gain space for a drawer on top... somewhere there is a flaw in the thinking... lowering would make sense... but then you don’t get an even baseboard...

So, these base cabinets are 88 cm high with the standard setting of the METOD legs, meaning the countertop would be at this height. My dishwasher is 81.5 cm high, leaving a gap of 7.5 cm to the countertop. If I now screw the METOD legs (= on all base cabinets, of course, since the countertop spans several) 2.5 cm higher, there would be a gap of 10 cm. This would be filled by the 10 cm high drawer front. I would attach the rails for the drawers on the outside of the right wall of the left base cabinet and the left wall of the right base cabinet (simply drill through the holes) and, because the drawer is only 56.4 cm (internal cabinet dimension), attach strips accordingly. I thought it would be more convenient if I just drilled through the holes...

How wide is such a front exactly, does it lie completely on the cabinet or can you see the side walls a bit?

Edit: Ah, just read, 1.5 mm on each side can be seen. Bearable.

You have a (2) calculation error... Dishwasher 81.5 2.5 = 84cm so you only have 4cm left up to 88cm... from 81.5 to 88 are 6.5cm not 7.5

??? If I screw the METOD legs 2.5 cm higher, the base cabinets are no longer 88 cm high as in the standard setting, but 90.5 cm. So 9 cm remained for the drawer, not 10 cm. I actually miscalculated there, that's right. That means I would have to buy legs at the hardware store that bring the countertop to a height of 91.5 cm. Or saw off the drawer front, reluctantly...

The countertop is supposed to be much higher anyway, because I am 1.79 m tall and the previous working height is too low for me.

I was confused about that now too
