Insert Ikea Utrusta base into kitchen corner wall cabinet

Hello everyone,

I specifically registered here today because the corner wall cabinet of my new Ikea kitchen is driving me crazy.
I already have some experience assembling Ikea furniture and have also put together several kitchen cabinets, but I just can’t get the shelf into the cabinet this time. According to the picture description, you are supposed to place it at an angle and then simply turn it, and it would fit. But it doesn’t work. Both this method and many other attempts to get the shelf into the cabinet have failed. I’m already at the point of just using the cabinet without the shelf, so you are my last hope.

Has anyone had similar experiences? Is there any trick? Or are my helpers and I just being too stupid?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,
Nimsay

Hello! Even though this post is already a few days old, I want to bring it back to life ... I am currently facing the same problem!!! We have run out of ideas on how to get this shelf into the already hung cabinet... I look forward to any tips!!! Thank you very much!!!

Hello,

at which point are you failing? Sliding the floor diagonally through the door opening and then turning it horizontal doesn't work?

Hello, according to my understanding and the assembly instructions, the shelf must be inserted "through" the side opening (where the side panels go in) before assembly/hanging. Otherwise, it won't fit... for the 60cm high wall cabinets, for the 80 and 100 it should fit from the front. Regards Robi

Hello, another desperate Ikea kitchen builder... Same issue. 60 cm Metod corner wall cabinet. I can’t get the white Ikea Utrusta bottom out and therefore can’t put the new glass shelf in. The neighbor already tried as well. I somehow can’t figure out the twisting motion. Is there a video or step-by-step instruction??? :oops:

Take a photo of the shape of the board in the cabinet. Maybe you can deduce the angle and rotation from it. Otherwise, Ikea now includes the assembly manual with every product. And videos: just check on YT yourself ;)
