ᐅ Ikea Metod Kitchen – No More Full-Extension Pull-Out Cabinets!?

Hello everyone, SOS! I am currently planning my new kitchen after moving. For many years, I had a Faktum kitchen (Fagerland), which unfortunately had to stay in my old apartment. Now, I am very disappointed to find out that there is no longer a tall cabinet with full-extension drawers in the Metod series, which I previously used for my storage containers! I am quite unhappy about this and wonder if it would be possible to find a used Faktum tall cabinet and retrofit it with a front panel from the Metod series. Or do you have any ideas on how and where I can still get a new tall cabinet (1.98 m x 60 cm (6.5 ft x 24 inches)) from Ikea with full-extension drawers? Thank you very much for your advice!

Hello, there are still tall cabinets with full-extension drawers, but these have full-extension drawers behind a hinged door. The advantage is that you can access the drawers not only from the side. However, similar to Faktum, you can attach a front panel to the drawers, but there is no drilling template for this, so you have to determine the mounting positions for the front panel brackets yourself. Installing a Metod front on a Faktum cabinet is not very practical, especially since Metod fronts are 2mm (0.08 inches) wider, which can easily cause collisions with adjacent fronts.

Thank you very much! I will now start looking for that cabinet with drawers. Thanks again and best regards!

Of course, you can install both deep and shallow drawers as you like, and just like with FAKTUM, completely omit shelves.
