Hey everyone,

Does the 40mm (1.6 inches) Utrusta wire basket [1] fit into an FYNDIG base cabinet [2] or [3]?
The dimensions seem almost right, even though the middle holes for mounting are missing, but those could be drilled afterwards.

It would save me from back pain and forgotten groceries.

Best regards,
Tobias

These are the students of today. They have demands but don’t want to put in the effort. You just strap the cabinet onto your back and walk to IKEA.
When I was a student, we were just happy if we had a fruit crate to sit on and a straw mattress to sleep on.

When I was studying, we were already happy if we had a fruit crate to sit on and a straw sack to sleep on.

Back then, going to the cinema only cost 10 pfennig.

Hmm, in the assembly instructions they look different. Check if there might be holes for drawer runners?

I could actually keep my existing cabinet carcass. Is it possible to just install the drawers in it? That way, I wouldn’t have to remove anything.

Take a close look at the assembly instructions. If you get a visit from someone who owns a car, you might still be able to return the cabinet (a mix of old and new parts).
