Hello everyone,

my brief introduction: after half a year of renovating an old building, I am now finally assembling my Ikea kitchen with third-party appliances. The biggest challenge so far was attaching the wall cabinets to the old building masonry.

The oven in the kitchen is supposed to go into the Metod tall cabinet; I have chosen a NEFF. The question: does the oven go on the included rails, or is there still a base resting on the rails??

And: the tall cabinet is practically freestanding, on the left is the dishwasher, on the right a freestanding 202cm tall refrigerator. Can the tall cabinet stand freely, or should it definitely be fixed to the wall? I have a slight offset in the wall exactly at this spot... - but maybe the oven is heavy enough.

Looking forward to your opinions and information.

Hello, there still needs to be a base that is screwed to the rails. During installation, you can refer to the assembly instructions for an IKEA oven.



You should also attach the cabinet to the wall for better lateral stability.

Correct. The oven is placed on the floor "between" the rails. So attach the rails to the floor and then secure them inside the cabinet - oven on top. Whether it's a tall cabinet alone or multiple ones - NEVER WITHOUT WALL MOUNTING!! And if you can't attach continuously because of the offset, one screw - one more - is better than none. I would simply use 2 screws next to each other where I can. As far apart as possible considering the offset.
