Ikea tall cabinet Faktum 125cm as a normal cabinet

Hello everyone,

is it possible to use the normal 125cm tall cabinet as a regular cabinet? I would screw a kitchen countertop on top & place the microwave on it.

Thanks & regards

Hello, yes, you might just need to get a larger back panel at the hardware store. If you want to install drawers, you can also use the new Maximera, if you can/want to drill new holes.

We currently have a 60 cm base cabinet with a drawer & two pull-outs. I would then install these there. The back panel should not be a problem. Or is it allowed to put the microwave in the 195 cm tall cabinet...? Currently, it is hanging on the wall on two brackets.

You may place the microwave anywhere as long as adequate ventilation is ensured. It is not acceptable, for example, if there are ventilation slots on the side of the device and it fits exactly in width into the cabinet,
