ᐅ IKEA METOD / FÖRVARA, Question About Installing the Rails

Hello,

I have the METOD / Förvara cabinet with a width of 80cm (31.5 inches) and a height of 60cm (23.6 inches), featuring 6 shallow drawers.
The bottom runner rail is installed differently than the five above it, specifically with the set screws in the lower row of holes. The top five are attached with set screws in the upper row of holes.
The top four drawers fit perfectly, and the bottom one also works, but then the second drawer from the bottom no longer fits in between.
The instructions are designed for the 80cm (31.5 inches) high cabinets, and for the first time in many years, I am struggling with the assembly manual.
Am I getting old? Or is something wrong here?

Hello,
the front of the bottom drawer is probably installed incorrectly. See page 12 of the assembly instructions.

Oh wow!
Darn, I hadn’t considered that the bottom drawer needs to be installed differently. But it does make sense, especially since the rail is mounted differently. Thanks for the tip.

Still, I find the instructions unusually confusing.

The exact same thing happened to me. Sometimes having text would be helpful. These are simply the limitations of picture-based instructions.

Regards, Andreas
