ᐅ Seeking additional drawer set for Faktum base cabinet from IKEA

Hello,

I am trying to fit a Faktum base cabinet with 5 drawers. The bottom drawer has a front panel of 18 cm (7 inches), and the other 4 panels are just under 13 cm (5 inches). The problem is that only the first two drawers from the bottom can be installed. The spacing doesn’t work for the third drawer. The only way to compensate is by rotating the front panel, but then the same issue occurs with the next drawer. I am considering adding a row of extra drill holes because the existing hole pattern does not fit. However, there is very little space, and the measurements have to be quite precise. The drill holes shouldn’t be too deep either since one side is openly visible.

Is there perhaps an extra drawer set available for this cabinet? It’s a bit strange that the rear edge of the drawer front is almost the same height as the front panel itself.
Has anyone had experience with this? I would really appreciate any help!

Best regards
Jens

Check everything once again.
Note that a different hole is used for the bottom rail than for the other four. For the flat drawers, the front must be installed this way so that the bracket is closer to the upper edge.

If you bought drawers (used) without an assembly manual, keep in mind that there are two versions which require different installation methods.

Hi,

please make sure to follow the assembly instructions exactly; it will definitely fit! Unless there is already an incorrectly drilled hole from the start. Unfortunately, that can happen, albeit rarely.

Otherwise, the IKEA expert has already covered everything.

Good luck!
