Hello, I’m new here....

I wanted to ask for your advice on what to do with the 7.5cm (3 inch) strip from the corner base cabinet. Every cabinet has a front, but the corners don’t. I have one corner base cabinet on each side, left and right. Because of the connections, an L shape is created in the corner, and I would like it to match the Ringhult look as well. Do you have any ideas or tips?

I have a large, long Ikea Ringhult front from the clearance section here.

The instructions for where to attach the supplied strip are in the user manual. I believe the hinges go on this strip? (I can’t check right now.) You cover them with side panels that you cut to size. Some people use fronts instead of these, which can be cheaper.

Hello Nörgli

Yes, exactly, the hinges go on the back.

When I cut them, I’m not exactly sure how to do it because there are two narrow strips that will meet, so it will probably look quite unprofessional.

In my photo, it looks like one piece that was glued at an angle or something like that........

If you want it to be absolutely perfect, you need to miter the front edges and glue the parts together. Alternatively, you can have a carpenter do it for you.
