Hello everyone!
I just finished assembling my new IKEA Effektiv cabinets and ended up with some spare parts.
The reason is that I wanted to equip the lower base units with drawers that have a fairly large filling height of at least 30cm (12 inches). This was only possible by modifying them, using the available double drawers as a base and removing the upper rails from the runners. Then only the lower rails remained, into which I fitted the corresponding drawer with the front frames that were re-drilled accordingly. It works great, and I now have exactly the spacious drawers I need (for those who are really interested, I wrote a post with pictures on my blog at chrisvandark.blogspot.com).
The only downside is that the parts for the narrow, upper drawers are now surplus. This includes the individual rails for left and right, as well as the actual drawer (of course without the front). I have eight sets here, unused, so the parts are all in good condition.
If anyone is interested, please get in touch; otherwise, apart from the boards and small parts like screws, I will probably dispose of everything eventually since it just takes up space.
Best regards from Hamburg,
Chris

I wanted to ask if you still have the drawer slides left?
If not, do you happen to have the item number? I unfortunately lost my slides during my move, and now I can’t install the drawers anymore.
Since IKEA has effectively discontinued that cabinet, I can’t proceed without the item number either.
Thank you in advance for your reply.
