Hey!
I have a Metod oven cabinet, built-in oven, induction cooktop, and an IKEA solid wood countertop, about 2.8cm (1 inch) thick.
Since the countertop isn’t very thick, several IKEA kitchen planners advised us to use two 10cm (4 inch) fronts instead of one 20cm (8 inch) drawer, and therefore a shallow drawer. The arrangement from bottom to top is:
shallow drawer (10cm / 4 inches) -> Utrusta ventilated base -> oven -> front panel as a cover (10cm / 4 inches) -> countertop with induction cooktop.
Sounds good, but unfortunately it doesn’t work for us!
When the oven is installed resting on the base from below, we are missing about 5mm (0.2 inches) for the drawer.
Does anyone have experience with this? It’s supposed to have been sold like this several times...
Thanks!

and
it appears that the top edge of the frame in FÖRVARA is slightly lower than in Maximera.
