Good evening,
After a long search, I came across this forum and hope this is the right place to ask my question and get some help.
My situation:
I moved into a new apartment a few weeks ago. The “kitchen” has a large gap where the previous tenants took their washing machine. The gap is 60cm (24 inches) wide and deep, with the countertop starting at about 82cm (32 inches) high.
While looking for a base cabinet, I found the Metod base cabinet.
My problem is the different height and depth measurements:
Product dimensions
Width: 60.0 cm (24 inches)
Depth: 61.6 cm (24.3 inches)
Carcass depth: 60.0 cm (24 inches)
Carcass height: 80.0 cm (31.5 inches)
Height: 88.0 cm (34.6 inches)
If the cabinet is really 60cm (24 inches) deep and 80cm (31.5 inches) high, I can raise it slightly on feet and it won’t be a problem. But if it is actually 61.6cm (24.3 inches) deep and 88cm (34.6 inches) high, it will stick out and won’t fit under the countertop. I also don’t quite understand how the separate feet measurements factor into these dimensions.
Could someone please tell me whether this (or any of the 80cm (31.5 inches) carcasses) would fit in my kitchen?
Thanks in advance and best regards from Münsterland

the cabinet is 80 cm (31.5 inches) high and 59 cm (23 inches) deep. However, if you raise it by only 2 cm (0.8 inches), your feet won’t fit underneath and you will have trouble standing at the countertop. I would recommend buying a suitable cabinet instead.
You can still order a Faktum cabinet (faktum-nachkauf-Ikea.de) which fits better, although it’s still not a perfect match for your kitchen.
Take a look around at inwerk-küchen.de, for example.

IKEA-Experte14 Jul 2016 17:02Something seems to have been missed here. In addition to the 59cm (23 inches) of the cabinet body, there are 2cm (1 inch) for the fronts. So the overall depth of the cabinet is 61cm (24 inches).
Without feet, the front might easily scrape the floor. At a height of 2cm (1 inch), there are no feet, so you would need to place wooden strips underneath, for example. However, as mentioned before, the feet you stand on would then not fit under the cabinet.
