Hello everyone,
I am currently planning an IKEA kitchen and have three questions regarding Metod base cabinets:
1. Can the base cabinets be installed solely on Metod legs, or is wall mounting mandatory (for example, using the IKEA mounting rail)? This is especially a challenge because one cabinet will be located directly in front of a tiled backsplash, while the others have to be placed in front of a type of drywall partition (the tiled backsplash only covers the area from 800mm (31.5 inches) upwards).
2. What is the depth of the standard base cabinets? Can I use countertops with a depth of 600mm (24 inches)? (IKEA uses countertops that are 635mm (25 inches) deep.)
3. I want to install three IKEA units (drawer cabinet, sink cabinet, cabinet for built-in oven) along with a dishwasher (XXL size with Vario hinge). Is there a specific order in which these should be arranged?
Thank you for your help.

Hello,
the kitchen is slowly coming together. The cutouts have been made, now it’s being sanded and oiled.
I have a question regarding the base cabinet under the sink. Instead of a drawer, there is a kind of panel at the top (the uppermost 20cm (8 inches) below the countertop). Unfortunately, I haven’t found any information or instructions on how this panel is installed. It’s possible that the manual got lost somewhere among my countless cardboard boxes...
