Hello everyone,
I am planning to install IKEA Metod kitchen cabinets in my apartment. However, the walls here are unfortunately not completely straight, which I need to consider when planning the cabinet layout. My specific question is: How can I install and align IKEA Metod cabinets precisely despite uneven walls, so that the fronts fit cleanly and no unsightly gaps appear?
I would appreciate practical tips, for example on possible leveling methods, choice of materials for spacers or mounting, how to adjust heights and depths, and which tools are best suited for this.
Thank you in advance for your helpful advice!

Finally, I recommend attaching the fronts only after the elements have been permanently fixed, and using the adjustment options of the fittings to visually compensate for any unevenness.This is an important point. Additionally, the Metod doors offer adjustment screws on multiple axes – especially with uneven walls, this allows you to create a visually uniform finish.
Also keep in mind that attaching cover panels and shadow gap moldings can help hide irregularities. It is important to measure very precisely and, if necessary, customize the cuts for the moldings individually.
A well-thought-out plan involving materials and adjustment options is crucial for the result, avoiding the need for extensive wall modifications.
