Reviews

A possible fix for a problem which is here to stay, it seems.Anonymous reviewerThis problem goes back years, and IKEA shows no sign about doing anything about it. The inaction is hard to understand. I set up a small production line to get round this. I wanted to fit plinths under the base cabinets. IKEA's Capita legs are (unlike the Metod legs) fit for purpose, but you cannot (easily) fit a plinth to Capita legs. Capita legs cost £12 for 4; Metod legs £1 each. I bought 4 of each leg for a typical cabinet. I dismantled the Capita leg and fitted the tubular part of a Metod leg over the metal Capita leg, and cemented it in place (I used polyester resin). Reassembled, the adapted Capita legs happily take the plastic clips which come with the Metod legs, and you can fit a plinth - AND have legs which don't break. Note that Capita legs only adjust between 8 to 9 cm in height, whereas Metod legs adjust from 7.5 to 9.5 cm. Unless IKEA decides to own this problem, rather than dismissing it, this may be a possible solution.1
Okay. But break easilyAnonymous reviewerBe careful as they snap easily3
These work wellAnonymous reviewerBought to replace old one that were damaged during dismantling of display kitchen; work well in spite of a change in their design since the originals5
Dont Bother Anonymous reviewerShocking legs worst kitchen feet you would have to glue them to keep them mounted rubber hammer them in but slight movement and one or the other will come off I would forget them and look at the stainless steel ones not worth the money 1
The perfect kitchenAnonymous reviewerI genuinely beleive that my kitchen could not be better no matter where I purchased it from and how much I paid. I totally renovated the kitchen including tiling the floor, tiling all the walls, rewiring the electrics and installing the IKEA kitchen. Result - perfection!! Good enough to be a show kitchen.5
Lesson learnt - a tip for using these legsAnonymous reviewerI bought these legs and despite careful handling a couple snapped. I then took the legs and glued them into their mounts - and this strengthens them a lot. I then filled the gaps around the mount to further reduce the plastic mount snapping around the leg. No further problem. I could position the units with some confidence that the legs would remain intact. I'd use these legs again, but reinforce them as described first.2
How can IKEA get it so wrong?Anonymous reviewerVery flimsy and despite heeding all the usage and care advice we have broken most of these. They just don’t seem sturdy enough for the intended purpose. 1
Not good qualityAnonymous reviewerThe legs provided are apparently delicate and snap/ break with least effort. I wouldn't trust a high cabinet with these legs. One of the legs broke immediately. Hope to get a refund. 1
Perfect fitAnonymous reviewerExcellent legs bought to go with my Metod Maximera units. Clear instructions, easy fitting and strong. Absolutely no problems.5
Awful product Anonymous reviewerI normally rate ikea stuff however these are Awful, they’re flimsy and 3 out of 4 have snapped. They most definitely are not fit for purpose. 1
Two of the legs snapped when attaching them to the cupboard. Anonymous reviewerThe are flimsy & unsafe they did not support the cupboard. 1
Snap or fall off.Anonymous reviewerTry loving a cabinet with these legs attached :) You’ll be in for a surprise unless you can place them perfectly perpendicular. Either buy different legs or lots of spares! 1
Poor designAnonymous reviewerYou only have to knock the leg slightly and it either falls off or breaks. But you don't have a choice because there is no alternative.2
Cabinet feet Anonymous reviewerGreat product ! My only grumble was the price ! In England they were so much cheaper than Ireland .. a massive difference in price so hence we got them from England for our ikea kitchen in Ireland! 5
AwfulAnonymous reviewerThese legs are so weak. Like others have reported ours have snapped repeatedly despite trying to be careful. as advised. 1
Follow instructions - all goodAnonymous reviewerMost reviews said snap when moving. Well, looks like they are not designed for that. Somewhat said all cabinet fall out. How? I have 115kg and I hang on cabinet hanging on rail only for test. Fill hold 4 times me. People do poor instalation or are not careful enough, not reading warnings and then come here and cry in reviews. Nothing wrong with product here. Only people do nor have common sense anymore. 5
PointlessAnonymous reviewerIkea should stop making these as they are so weak and pointless. Why have a 25 year guarantee on your cabinets and then recommend they are supported by these pieces of rubbish. All 4 of mine snapped when I was installing the drawers to a base cabinet. I wasn't even moving it and dragging it around (as they say not to) and they collapsed just because I pushed a drawer into place. No kitchen fitter would use these anyway but why even produce such a weak product. Ikea uses Blum hinges for some of the kitchen products so why don't they stock better brands of cabinet legs such as Hafele? 1
Very fragile Anonymous reviewerThese are very fragile. They break so easily with a slight tilt. You can not drag the unit at all with these. Not even slightly or they will break. However you will need them to attach the plinths to it. The best thing to do is have 2 people to pick the unit when these are attached. Adjusting these are OK. Once it's in place it can easily handle the weight of the unit.2
Weak connectionAnonymous reviewerAs many others have said, the lug of the leg that fits into the connector for the cabinet are so weak. If you try to lift a unit to move it, the legs fall out and are not strong enough to realign. Off tomorrow to get yet another pack. The older version cabinet legs were bombproof compared to these. If you get the chance to not use these, I'd recommend using something else. 1
Completely rubbishAnonymous reviewerA rubbish and pointless product because of how brittle they are. They immediately break.1

Story

A kitchen that took us around the world

Whatever your dream kitchen is, it’s probably different from many other people’s dreams. This we learned when researching kitchen desires around the globe. Our conclusion for the METOD kitchen system: it should make it possible to design the best kitchen for you – whatever your preferences and living situation.

Our ambition is to help as many as possible to have a kitchen they'd love to be in. We started sketching. “When we created METOD, it was our biggest ever kitchen change, so it's fair to say we were very keen to get it right,” says technician Klas-Ola Nilsson.

Research from around the world

So, what would people’s dream kitchen be like? We surveyed thousands of people, visited hundreds of homes and worked with food industry professionals. “We found if there's one thing in common with kitchens around the world it's that they're different.” Klas-Ola says. “For as many people who dream of an open space kitchen, there are people with a small space, or a space that cannot be changed that much.”

From research to result

One element became blindingly important. “We realized we needed a kitchen system that could adapt to different sized spaces in a way that hadn't been done before,” Klas-Ola says. “So, we developed cabinets that could fit almost anywhere.” Different sizes can be mixed to best fit the room and they'll still fit together – without odd ends. The clever inside can be personalized to support your kitchen needs and activities, too.

Ready for the future

An adaptable kitchen fits better with how you like to cook, both now and in the future. Whether you start craving a more professional kitchen, or just want to start using it for more activities, we would love METOD to help out. “There's nothing to say that METOD is set and fixed now,” Klas-Ola says. “People’s ideas on what a dream kitchen should do is always evolving. To meet future needs, METOD will evolve, too.”

Function solution

Building blocks for the kitchen

METOD frames provide the base for your new kitchen. Choose between base cabinets, wall cabinets and high cabinets in many different widths. Wall cabinets and high cabinets also come in different heights. If you want to use a corner, choose a corner base cabinet with a carousel that makes it easy to reach what's inside. There are even special frames for a built-in single or double oven. Perfect if you want to have the oven at a comfortable working height. Complement with practical UTRUSTA, UPPDATERA and VARIERA interior fittings.
