Hello, we are currently planning our kitchen and are interested in the Brokhult front.

It is significantly cheaper in France than in Germany. The IKEA store in Strasbourg is only a 2-hour drive from us, and we would save almost 1000€ by purchasing in France. When I loaded our plan into the French planner, however, I noticed that all the Maximera drawers were missing.

At IKEA France, the drawers have different article numbers and also look somewhat different. Can someone explain the differences to me?

As an example, here is the 60cm (24-inch) low drawer:


Extendable drawer slides with mounting rails for a cabinet

MAXIMERA
Drawer, low, white


In this case, the German version is 3€ cheaper. The medium and high drawers, however, are 11€ and 12€ cheaper in France, respectively.

Are the German drawers newer or better, or what is the difference?

Thank you very much

The MAXIMERA units sold in Germany are manufactured by Blum, while those in France come from Manuex. I am not familiar with the ones from Manuex, but with Blum, you know what you’re getting.

Thank you for the quick response,
I will definitely purchase the extracts, etc., in Germany.
