Hello everyone,

could you maybe help me?
I want to have 2 Besta cabinets, each 120cm wide, side by side, 60cm high and 40cm deep. So a total width of 240cm.
On top of that, I want to place 2 Besta cabinets, 120cm wide, 38cm high, 40cm deep.
At the top with the 38cm height, I want 4 drawers, below 4 normal doors with a shelf inside.
Without legs.

Alternatively, I would not have 240cm but 180cm total width, for which I would need 1x120cm cabinet plus 1x60cm cabinet. But then you can see the division on top— is there something to cover that? Cover plate? I only saw the glass cover plate but that still shows that there are 2 cabinets of different widths placed next to each other.

My question: how are the 4 (or 3) cabinets fastened together?

But I just realized that it probably doesn’t look good if you place 2 cabinets on top of each other because then you have a top edge and a bottom edge, resulting in a double-high edge there compared to elsewhere.

THANK YOUU

Hello, the carcasses are connected to each other on the sides with screws, stacked on top with clamps at the back and adhesive pads between the carcasses at the front.

For 180 cm width, you can place a glass plate on top

for 240 cm there is nothing special for BESTA, so the only option is a cover panel from METOD or something homemade.
