Hello! Can someone tell me the internal base dimensions of the 60 cm (24 inch) wide drawers? The exterior dimensions of the Förvara drawers are 56.4 x 52 cm (22.2 x 20.5 inches) and Maximera are 56.4 x 54.2 cm (22.2 x 21.3 inches), but what are the internal measurements? Thanks in advance!

Have you measured how wide SAMLA, SORTERA, KLÄMTARE are at the base?

Förvara does not have full extension or soft-close features.

Why does everyone think they have to use IKEA’s waste separation system for kitchens… I also chose the Hailo system because it’s better and has larger bins. The rail, cover, and everything else is included. When you calculate the price, since you don’t need drawers, it’s not much more expensive. And a few dollars should be worth it for a better system.

@ IKEA-Experte

Is the measurement given again for the top part and not the floor area?
Why doesn’t IKEA provide proper specifications?!
"Förvara has no full extension and no soft-close feature."

How far can they actually be pulled out? Is a soft-close feature that important?

@robi_aus_ffm

Wow... thanks... the first option is exactly what I was looking for! Can the Metod fronts be easily attached to it?
How much does something like this cost?

Google the exact term with the additional word "Idealo."
That way, you can find affordable suppliers.
I don’t remember exactly what I paid. I’ll have to look it up tomorrow afternoon.

@IKEA-Newbie: If I remember, I can measure the Förvara drawers tomorrow, in case there’s still interest. But they don’t pull out completely, so it might be quite tricky with the bins, I think. (I believe the dimensions given are always the external measurements, so the maximum width/depth.)

@robi_aus_ffm: Are they deeper than the IKEA trash bins? If I need to fit four bins (plastic, paper, general waste, and glass) under an 80cm (31.5 inch) wide sink, can I make better use of the space than with this VARIERA / Utrusta?

Edit: I see that option doesn’t exist for 80cm (31.5 inch) width, unfortunately. Four bins at 80cm (31.5 inch) width—too bad.
