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!

With the meaning already mentioned by Ikea User in US English in mind, this is also nice.

Hello,
do you also want to shorten the door for the freezer? Otherwise, there won’t be a uniform look, and you could also choose a 140cm (55 inches) door for the refrigerator.

There are hardly any built-in appliances on the market that require a 160cm (63 inches) door. With ready-to-assemble kitchens, you will otherwise only find a much smaller selection of front sizes.
