ᐅ Is an extendable countertop available for Metod kitchen units at IKEA?

Hello community,

We are currently planning our new kitchen and have come across a clever solution to address the issue of not having a table in our small kitchen. At a "high-end" kitchen showroom, we noticed a display model featuring a pull-out countertop hidden behind a drawer. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything like this at IKEA, so I wanted to ask here if anyone knows of such a product or has perhaps built something similar themselves.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Hello, IKEA doesn’t offer something like that. It shouldn’t be too difficult to make it yourself.
With constructions like this, you need to carefully consider whether you would actually use it. I would start by installing a standard drawer and then, when using the kitchen, pay attention to whether I miss having such a surface and if I can manage with one drawer less for it.

Hello topas,

I can only agree with IKEA-Expert.
These extendable tables were popular years ago and often resulted in two chairs awkwardly standing around when the table with the pull-out drawer was pushed in. As a child in the 1970s, I often stumbled over chairs in kitchens at my aunt’s and friends’ homes that only made sense upon a closer look.

Best regards
