You may absolutely purchase Ikea cabinets without doors either online or in person, whichever you prefer. Each cabinet is really a collection of, say,10 items, each with a part #. At the store, a kitchen person will add the cabinet you want in a Harlig door, for example, and then go in and just remove the door, leaving the other 9 items in your cart. If you go this route, double check size, configuration, and frame color (birch or white) while they're typing it in. Mistakes happen. If you're doing this online, simply select the item you want in the configuration you want, and click on the "Show dimensions, weight and article numbers" link. Then copy each article number into the search button at the top of the page, and the item will appear. Buy it online. Repeat with the next 9 part #s. When you come to a door, just don't buy it. GW is great for some types of info, but you should really check out the Ikeafans web site for more guidance. In order to use Barker doors, you will need the measurements for the doors. You can find these on the Ikea web site if you look hard enough, or you can check out the Ikeafans link below. You'll have to look up info on hinge cup cut out size and location. Barker will cut them wherever you want them, but you need to know what to select/ask for. It is worth comparing the cost of a Barker Cabinet vs. Ikea/Barker Door. For ordinary cabs there's not that big a savings to be had with Ikea. For tall pantry/oven cabinets, or corner cabinets, the difference is substantial. Also, when ordering through Barker Door, make sure to take note of the maximum door width that differs among styles. Good Luck! Here is a link that might be useful: Measurements

farmgirlinky used one by hafele. It was narrower than what you are talking about but it was very attractive and I imagine provides her with an enormous amount of storage

I don't why you couldn't use base cabinets in combination with other cabinets/options for the upper section. These are the same cabinets we used in our kitchen that we used for dressers in our bedroom.You could do the same with IKEA bases in your closet (presuming you can pull out drawers past your closet doors?) and then add upper cabinets or switch to something like Elfa (Container Store) rods and shelves. We've used Elfa in our closet and been very happy. I can see it being used for just the upper half of a closet with cabs underneath.We kept Christmas decorations and wrapping paper up there on the high shelf.

Tihun If you really have 8' ceilings like you originally posted, your ceilings would be 96" Somewhere else you say you have 92" Which is it? Beverly, and others, could the OP lower the uppers to 16" rather than the recommended 18"? I'm not a coffee drinker, but I would think if it would solve a huge kitchen layout problem, a person could get a shorter coffee maker. I just glanced at some, and the tallest one I saw was 15". There were others in the 12" range.
