IKEA Drawer Fronts & Hardware Placement
Comments (5)I'm concerned that the wood in the middle is too thin to take the pressure there would be at the points of where the screws are attached. I think that is why handles on IKEA cabinet drawers are on the top portion and not in the middle. Most other cabinet lines have the thickness of the drawer and then there is a piece of wood to the drawer itself which distributes the load. Where did you put your handles? That said, I would think there is a work around to all this, but it would be nice to see what others have done....See MoreIKEA Hacks - Compilation of IKEA Hacks

The second is a set of comments beginning at "July 17, 2015 at 7:46PM". Update 07/24/19: Unlike GardenWeb, Houzz does not show times, they just show things like "X hours ago" or just list a date. I think they also fiddled with the times/dates overall. The first Bbtrix post is now simply "April 17, 2015". Search for "bbtrix" on the thread to find it.

Comments (0)Leaning towards using a 20" tall by 36" wide wall cabinet under my apron sink like others have done. In doing this, i want to install a Maximera drawer instead of just have doors and and a shelf. However, our Grimslove drawer fronts only come in 5, 10 and 15in heights for the required 36" width. So instead of going with a stationary 5" tall an movable 15in, i would like to go with a symmetrical 10 and 10...both being connected to a single drawer. Is there a good way of doing this? Or do i just connect the lower drawer front to the maximera drawer system and then make a ~20" tall plywood panel that screws to the fixed drawer front as well as the "floating" drawer front?...See MoreIkea Kitchen: matching discontinued door and drawer fronts
