Ikea tall cabinet top side / deeper than the tall cabinet

Hello Philipp, Ikea expert has actually already said it. If you attach the top panel flush at the back, it will protrude at the front. But only as long as you haven't installed a drawer or door. And that's how it is supposed to be. With a drawer or door, everything is flush at the back and front! Regards

I had asked myself the same question. In such cases, it also helps simply to go to Ikea and look at it on site and take measurements. Then it usually becomes clear. The reasons for this have already been mentioned.

However, I had the problem that the tall cabinet stands in front of a tile backsplash, meaning it is not flush at the back everywhere anyway, and the rail can only be mounted at the top with tricks since it is recessed at the back...
