Hello friends,
I have the following base cabinet
The two lower drawers are installed according to the instructions.
However, the top drawer (the outer one with the front) just won’t fit. Following the instructions and placing the drawer runners in hole number 13, the drawer sits almost directly above the drawer front below. When adding the corresponding front piece, the top drawer hits the middle one.
If I move the whole thing up by one position (which is not according to the instructions), the front of the top drawer ends up touching the countertop.
I have been trying to fix this for three hours now and just can’t get it right!

Hello, I have a similar problem.
I have managed to install all the drawers, but the top drawer is difficult to open and close because it rubs heavily against the metal at the top where the countertop is attached. The white metal has already been scratched because of this.
Why doesn’t it fit properly? What is causing the problem?
