mactaidoHello,
I have a bookshelf that is 120 cm (47 inches) wide, 38 cm (15 inches) high, and 40 cm (16 inches) deep. The shelf is divided into two compartments, each 60 cm (24 inches) wide.
On the left and right, I installed one Inreda drawer each, 16 cm (6 inches) high, with full extension and a Tofta front. The slots on the front face downwards. Both drawers are flush with the bottom edge of the shelf. So far, everything is okay.
Above the two drawers, a shelf board is to be installed as a finishing element. For this, I used the metal brackets that came with the drawers, to ensure the shelf board aligns flush with the front edges of the drawer fronts. That still fits well.
BUT now the drawer rubs against the underside of the shelf board!
As described above, the spacing at the front and elsewhere looks fine. If I move the metal brackets one drill hole higher, the shelf board sits too high. The bottom edge of the shelf board then protrudes beyond the drawer fronts.
I hope I have explained everything clearly. Does anyone have any ideas or have had similar experiences?

Without seeing it, the only quick suggestion I have is to try raising the front panel a bit and see how it looks and fits, as long as the bottom edge of the cabinet carcass is not covered by the front.
