ᐅ Insert Ikea Utrusta base panel into corner kitchen cabinet

Hello everyone,

I specifically signed up 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 put together several kitchen cabinets, but this time I just can’t get the shelf board into the cabinet. According to the instructions, you’re supposed to insert it at an angle and then simply turn it, and it should fit. But it doesn’t. 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 some kind of trick? Or are my helpers and I just being too clumsy?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,
Nimsay

Hello!
Even though this post is 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 install this shelf in the already mounted cabinet...

I appreciate any tips!!! Many thanks!!!

Hello,

where exactly are you having trouble? Is the floor panel not fitting diagonally through the door opening and then rotating into a horizontal position?

Hello,
According to my understanding and the assembly instructions, the shelf must be inserted through the side opening (where the side panels go) before assembly/mounting. It won’t fit any other way... For the 60cm (24 inches) high wall cabinets, and the 80cm (31 inches) and 100cm (39 inches) models, it should fit from the front.

Hello, another desperate IKEA kitchen builder here... Same issue. 60cm (24 inch) Metod wall corner cabinet. I can't get the white IKEA Utrusta base out, so I can't put in the new glass shelf. My neighbor has already tried as well. I'm having trouble with the twisting motion. Is there a video or step-by-step guide available??? 😳

Take a photo of the shape of the board inside the cabinet. Maybe the angle and orientation can be determined from that. Otherwise, Ikea now includes the assembly manual with every product. And there are videos as well: just check on YouTube yourself 😉
