Horni_130325 Nov 2011 16:38First of all, a warm hello to the forum.
As a devoted IKEA fan, I took my IKEA Faktum kitchen with me when I moved. So far, so good. Initially, the kitchen was arranged in an L-shape and included a 90/90 corner base cabinet. To reuse the existing countertops, the corner cabinet was simply split into a 90 cm (35 inch) base cabinet with 30/60 cm (12/24 inch) doors, and the additional part was converted into a "30 cm" (12 inch) cabinet. This cabinet is now slightly wider than 30 cm (12 inches). Unfortunately, the carousel had to be stored away, as it was no longer needed. It is an older carousel made entirely of metal, not the modern wooden style with railing.
Unfortunately, I have Kalsebo doors in beech. These are no longer available. I was hoping to find a 30 cm (12 inch) and a 50 cm (20 inch) door. According to the staff at the trusted furniture store, there is no way to order these doors anymore. The kitchen is from 2005, and the last Kalsebo fronts were sold around August 2008. After only three years, are there really no more doors available for this kitchen program?
I hope to get an answer or a good tip here on how to still obtain Kalsebo fronts, since my enthusiasm for IKEA furniture, especially kitchens, has vanished today.
Many thanks in advance.

thank you. I just dug out a catalog from 2005. It confirmed my suspicion about the post-purchase warranty. The ten years only apply to the material quality and workmanship. I have heard that it might still be possible to get older fronts directly shipped from Sweden. However, this does not seem to be the case for the Kalsebo front.
I have already tried combining it with other fronts, but since we have a stainless steel dishwasher and oven as well as a white washing machine, it would probably end up looking like an IKEA harlequin. So that won’t work. The still available Ädel Beech decorative front has also been considered, but the grain and color tone differ too much...

Exactly, in Sweden there is a warehouse where older cabinet fronts are stored and also sold directly from there. Unfortunately, Kalsebo is completely sold out, so as mentioned before, the best option is eBay and therefore patience is required to get doors in the desired size. Sorry.
