A mixed batch of 2, 3 and 4 drawer units and base cupboards.Anonymous reviewerREAD THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
Each of the 3 different drawer depths comes with unique instructions. The drawers themselves are very similar construction (extra bracing on the deep and medium drawers of the 4 drawer units which isn't on the shallow drawers). However, each depth of drawer has different mounting instructions for the slide rails depending on whether it is the top drawer, bottom drawer or one of the ones in between and whether they are inset behind a door/another drawer front or are outside the cabinet as shown in this product picture. In short, I think there are at least 9 ways to install each drawer and if you pick the wrong one, you will have drawer fronts overlap.
Also, be certain to click the drawers into place on both of the sliding rails. If you don't that drawer sits 3-5 mm higher and its drawer front rubs on the drawer front above and the soft close does not work.
Follow the instructions carefully and these are good cabinets and drawers.4
Dont give you right partsAnonymous revieweri ordered this and they gave me a very small top draw. And medium draw and a big draw. There is now a massive gap as the small top draw is to small. Can’t get my money back as i have already made it. I needed two medium draws. Or one medium and two small. Rubbish1
good quality if a bit difficult to figure out…Anonymous reviewerif you want the configuration as pictured, you need to put the drawer runners in as follows:
bottom drawer (large): use the very bottom holes in the sides and place the runners with the screws in the BOTTOM runner holes
middle drawer (medium size) : use the 9th hole from bottom but use the TOP holes in the runners to attach to sides with screws in the TOP holes
top drawer (medium size) : 13th hole from bottom (or 3rd from top) and again place the runners so that the TOP holes are level with the 13th hole and attach to sides with screws in the TOP holes
hope this is helpful, the drawers fit perfectly if you get the runners in the right holes! unfortunately the instructions leave you to figure this out alone 😂5
3 drawer unitAnonymous reviewerPurchased two base units with 3 drawers. Popped bottom drawer in first thought it sat too high. Sat with cuppa flicking through instructions again, penny dropped bottom runner sits on bottom 2 rows of holes easily rectified. In the end its a nice sturdy unit, drawers all square and nicely lined up. Instructions could do with a tweak. Once the main body is built the instructions could do with a page of all the different set ups stating which page to go to next. It would make it easier to navigate/understand.4
Drawer nightmareAnonymous reviewerEvery other unit has gone according to plan, okay there was the odd issue following different designs I.e. supposed to turn pages but got there in the end. Certainly not the same with the 3 drawer unit, followed what instructions there was but have now mover runners 3 times. I wish I had looked at these reviews earlier. Back to the drawing board 😢1
Solution: drawers don't fitAnonymous reviewerFor those of you who struggled to make the bottom drawer not overlap the top drawer, the front of the bottom drawer needs to be on the bottom two holes, not on the top two holes like the top drawers. There is a drawing explaining this on page 14. Good luck!4
Do not fitAnonymous reviewerThe drawers do not fit within the frame. The bottom drawer blocks the runner above from opening.1
Challenging drawersAnonymous reviewerIf you order this in the format shown, deep bottom drawer and two shallow drawers they will not fit if you follow the instructions. The deep drawer need to have the grub screws put into the two lower holes not the top two holes, same for the guard rail securing points, then the larger draw will lower allowing the two top drawers to be aligned correctly so that they don’t above the top of the cabinet.
Once this worked out all was good and a very good product, just the instructions need to be amended
The drawers seem very sturdy and look great4
Drawer runners don’t fit for the three drawers Anonymous reviewerIt comes with an instruction as to where you fit the drawer runners for multiple drawers, but it doesn’t show you where you fit for the three drawers
After pulling them in the holes that I could fit them into The top drawer is above the cabinets by half an inch
I’m now going to have to spend more time today in trying to fit them the best way that I can .
Very poor design or lack of information, which is it IKEA not a product I would buy again
In fact, my whole IKEA experience over the last few years has been awful 2
HelpAnonymous reviewerCan't get drawers to fit. 3
HappyAnonymous reviewerActually bought 2 drawer units - one 4 drawer, one 2 drawer. Didn't buy a 3 drawer. All drawers fit and operate smoothly. Good bit of self assembly required, but that is expected with IKEA products. It's important to follow instructions closely as bottom drawer is assembled different to those above.5

Variation not coveredAnonymous reviewerCabinet is good and generally of the quality I expected, however the drawers come with a separate 2 page manual saying which holes to attach the rails for which variation of design. this variation is not covered meaning you need to guess which holes to use4
Terrible to assembleAnonymous reviewerI've installed all kitchen in 2 days. This unit alone took another 2. Drawers don't fit properly, hard to level up.1
