Hello everyone,
First of all, great forum here!
I am currently planning a U-shaped kitchen. Unfortunately, I seem to have the problem that the drawer slides on one side interfere with each other. At least, that’s my impression, even though the 3D planner doesn’t show any issues.
Please take a look at the attached images.
The problem is at the corner base cabinet next to the sink cabinet. Due to the limited space, I cannot fit a back panel or similar there. I suspect that the drawers of the sink cabinet won’t clear the handles of the adjacent cabinet.
If my impression is wrong, even better!
Problem area in 3D view:
BUT, if I would run into issues there, I am considering shortening the corner cabinet (or the back panel there) slightly on the left side so that the dishwasher cabinet and sink cabinet can shift a little to the left.
Is this possible, and would it help with my problem?
Possible solution:
Thanks in advance!

Have you ever considered leaving them out and using push-to-open mechanisms instead?

The plan is actually to use rails, since it is unknown what heavy equipment might eventually be stored in the cabinets in the distant future.

You can shorten the filler piece on the corner cabinet.

However, it is worth considering not mounting the slides on the base cabinets themselves and instead attaching them directly.
