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!

Wurzelbuerste7 Jun 2016 21:30Here are some views of the kitchen... unfortunately, they don’t come across very well:
Cabinet fronts are Veddinge gray, since Grevsta stainless steel unfortunately doesn’t offer all fronts and is also quite expensive. The countertop and backsplash will be oak.
No. 7 60cm (24 inches) stove in an 80cm (31.5 inches) cabinet
No. 9 oven
Distance from window to right wall is about 548mm (22 inches).
I was thinking that in the additional cabinet in the corner, I might install hidden drawers or some kind of bar compartment with a lift/lower mechanism. These are just ideas, and the cabinet stays within a reasonable price range. Once the kitchen is installed, it will be too late.

If you want to install drawers like the Ikea expert suggests, it’s easier to replace cabinet number 6 with this one:
