Hello everyone,

As you can see in the pictures, I bought a Besta cabinet with doors and drawers.
My problem, and I’m starting to get really frustrated, is with the overlap between the large and small drawer (see photos).

I don’t know what I did wrong.
The bottom rail is in the first hole, and the rail for the small drawer is in the 13th hole, just as the assembly instructions say.
Turning the adjustment screws upwards doesn’t help either.

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me.

Thank you in advance.

You need to use different holes on the fronts depending on the drawer location. See pages 9/10 of the manual. You probably used the wrong holes (for the bottom) on the narrow front....

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I did not understand what you meant. I am really sorry. On page 9/10, something different can be seen. Are you referring to the holes for the rails?

No. The instructions for the drawer carcasses also explain how to attach the fronts. First the tall ones, then the short ones. For the short ones, there are two options: either at the bottom (inside the cabinet) or at the top. In this case, you need to use the top option.

Then you’ll need the other holes in the fronts!
