Looking for Reviews of Ikea Sektion Drawer-Within-a-Drawer
Comments (6)I have had the Sektion drawer in drawers since April. Overall, I really like them. I don't find them cumbersome to use. It is easier to keep the items you use most often in the bottom section so that you don't have to then pull out the top section to grab something. When you open the drawer, the main drawer (bottom) is exposed. To get at the interior drawer, you have to then pull that one open. I don't think you can "lock" the top drawer so that it's the first one you see when you open it, but you can kind of grab it as you're opening the main drawer so they both open at once. I do like that I can separate things so that I don't have one huge drawer with too much stuff in it. For example, I have my baking utensils in the top drawer, then my general utensils in the bottom. Every single top drawer you see in my kitchen has a drawer within a drawer. The lower drawers are just regular drawers. In the island, I have my pot lids in the top interior drawer and my pots below them in the main drawer. It works really well to keep things organized. One note, which IKEA may have addressed by now: The screws from the cabinet hardware stick out and bump up against the interior drawer, causing the paint to rub off. I bought some adhesive drawer bumpers to prevent this. I've attached a photo showing this. And I'll also attach some photos of the kitchen itself, which I am super happy with.

Comments (5)If the fronts and glides are specifically made for Ikea cabs, there should be no difference in installing them as Ikea's own parts. So, go to the Ikea website and find your drawer, low, medium or high. scroll down to "assembly instructions" and click on the choices. Below two Pdfs for medium drawers. (Look through both booklets from front to back , as everything depends on where in the stack the drawer is going to be installed, if it's going to be an inside drawer or regular outside drawer etc. It helps to understand the system, before starting to assemble.

Comments (1)It's always done this way in a custom application but check your measurements because you will need closer to 24-7/8" . Doors are not 1/2", rails on the walls and a gap between door and cabinet for hinge and of course if you scribe to an uneven wall you need to consider that also. Ikea boxes are actually 1/16" wider than they say so the gap between face and panel will be fine....See MoreHeather Barnes
