ᐅ Is it possible to use an Ikea Besta base unit 60x38 cm with a 16 cm deep drawer?

Hello,

we are planning to buy a Besta/Framsta wall unit.

We want to install two drawers on the lower section, each with a height of 16cm (6.3 inches).

Is this possible? Will it close flush?
Has anyone already done this and can share some pictures?

Best regards

No, we won’t do it like that.
2 x 16cm (6.3 inches) = 32cm (12.6 inches) ---> So: 6cm (2.4 inches) "gap"

If I absolutely wanted drawers in this cabinet, I would mount the door onto a tall drawer and convert a narrow one into an inner drawer.
You should have some skill for that, though.

Yes, I already calculated that myself.

If I definitely wanted drawers in this cabinet, I would attach the door to a tall drawer and convert a narrow one into an inner drawer.

The idea is good, but I don’t think I have enough skill for that.

I think I’ll just install doors after all.

Thanks for the replies.
