Hello dear community!
We want to order an IKEA kitchen for the first time because we have been very satisfied with our previous IKEA furniture. However, we do not plan to replace our existing freestanding refrigeration units; instead, we thought about placing them inside the IKEA built-in cabinets. We don’t know how thick the side panels of the Metod system are and what the interior dimensions would be. The appliances have the following dimensions:
Freezer: W 55.3cm (22 inches) x H 84.5cm (33 inches) x D 57.4cm (23 inches) to fit into ME 718
Refrigerator: W 54.0cm (21 inches) x H 144.0cm (57 inches) x D 59.5cm (23 inches) to fit into ME 721
Would they fit inside?
Also important:
a) Are the back panels made of fiberboard?
b) Are the door hinges overlay or inset?
c) How tall is the upper door on the ME 721 (it looks like about 80cm (31 inches))?
Thank you very much for your help!

I’m not referring to the base plate where the legs are attached...
No, no. I mean the floor that is fixed using the metal part in the picture you linked. In the image of the complete cabinet, it is located at the very bottom, just above the base plate.

Katzenmami6421 Apr 2015 18:35Why? 140 – 1.8 = 138.2, leaving 2.2cm (0.9 inches). All the feet of the refrigerator can be adjusted, so you can screw them down by 8mm (0.3 inches) or, to be safe, even 10mm (0.4 inches). That should work, right...?

If the edge of the door is square, it might also be possible to install sliding door fittings.

*g*
So far, we are quite satisfied with it... Since we feed our cats a raw diet, we need more space, so we chose this taller refrigerator plus a separate freezer instead of one of the usual combined fridge-freezers.
Thank you very much for your effort!
