Hello,
First, a bit about my frustrating experience:
I recently moved and had to buy a kitchen. After measuring the space, only an IKEA kitchen was suitable because it’s an older building and standard kitchens didn’t fit.
Two weeks before pickup, I went to IKEA for advice and was repeatedly assured that my fronts (Adele Birch) would be available when I came back with the van two weeks later.
Of course, the fronts I wanted were not in stock. Delivery issues. So I agreed to take the carcasses first and have the fronts delivered later, since “otherwise you’d have to come back often and the central warehouse is initially supplied for direct deliveries. So it’s best if you get the fronts delivered.” Fair enough.
Now I’m left with a kitchen without fronts. I originally thought I could assemble the kitchen and just attach the fronts afterward.
No way! Without the fronts, it’s difficult to mount the drawers at the correct height.
So I thought I would just mount the bottom drawer and see how it goes from there.
Now the problems:
I only received one cover panel for the Faktum tall cabinet with the oven. But where are the three cover panels for the base cabinets that have three drawers if I’ve only been delivered two drawer panels each? Do I have to drill the only 9.7cm (3.8 inches) panel myself to use it for the third drawer of the oven tall cabinet?
Where should I position the shelf where the oven stands?
I want to be able to make a pizza soon, and my partner wants to start baking rhubarb pie.
I hope someone can tell me whether I have to cut the panels myself from the 190 x 60cm (75 x 24 inches) side strips, or if the kitchen consultant guy simply missed something. And maybe if someone with the same tall cabinet can let me know where the lower shelf should be positioned.
Thanks in advance.
