ᐅ Building a tall cabinet, 220 x 40 x 37 cm – which front panel should I choose?

Hello,

I need a 220cm (87 inches) tall cabinet with a depth of 37cm (15 inches) and a width of 40cm (16 inches) to place in front of an existing post. Unfortunately, I can’t fit a 60cm (24 inches) wide cabinet.

However, the standard cabinets are only available in 200cm (79 inches) height, while the other tall cabinets next to it are 220cm (87 inches). I was thinking of assembling one from:

2 x 80cm (31.5 inches) wall cabinets (40 x 80 x 37cm / 16 x 31.5 x 15 inches)
1 x 60cm (24 inches) wall cabinet (40 x 60 x 37cm / 16 x 24 x 15 inches)

For the doors, I’m considering either:
1 x 200cm (79 inches) door with a 20cm (8 inches) drawer front above it, using Utrustra hinges for horizontal cabinets (this is how I covered a 20cm (8 inches) leftover space in our kitchen)

or
1 x 140cm (55 inches) front (normally intended for horizontal wall cabinets)
1 x 80cm (31.5 inches) wall cabinet front

Question:
Do the 140cm (55 inches) fronts also have the pre-drilled holes for hinges/cup hinges?

Hello, anything referred to as a door has cup holes for hinges.

Hi melad,
I would get a 220x60x35 cm (87x24x14 inches) and a 40x35 cm (16x14 inches) wall cabinet from Metod and replace the shelves.

I would do the same if there were a 220 cm (87 inches) high cabinet available in a shallower depth at all.

Hi Ikea expert,
you’re right. I do have other options. 😉

why make it so complicated...
I have a tall cabinet measuring 240 x 40 x 37 cm (94 x 16 x 15 inches). It consists of one 200 cm (79 inches) and one 40 cm (16 inches) tall part.
I simply cut the sides of the 40 cm (16 inches) tall cabinet down to 20 cm (8 inches) at the top and added the appropriate fronts (e.g., 80, 80, 60 cm) — done ☺
