Thanks, WB. The Laxarby is not as appealing as the Ramsjo with those narrow styles, PLUS it also has that pinkish tone I'm not in love with but to which I have resigned myself. Sigh.. it would be perfect if IKEA did a truer white wider-railed shaker wood door in Sektion, but who knows when they are going to announce the door styles. Hmph. Of course when DH finally agrees to an IKEA kitchen, all this shake-up happens :/

There were no Rationell drawers with dampers before 2006. For about a year after introducing rails with dampers, Ikea sold a set with new rails and dampers. But this was only good for already fully extending drawers. The rails for the new drawers work as well, if you are willing to drill new holes to the cabinet.

I was just at Ikea today looking at kitchen cabinets with the intention of buying them for my kitchen. i could not help but notice a strong odor in every cabinet that I opened In the store. i believe the smell is emanating from the sides of the cabinet boxes which are constructed of particle board and glue and resin. The smell escapes from the holes drilled in the sides. I think the smell will continue to out gas for years. ikea is supposedly CARB2 and EPA compliant , I must say, it gives me pause. and it is for this reason that I won’t buy Ikea cabinets. i don’t want to pay thousands of dollars to introduce a chemical smell into my house.

I'm guessing it has to do with the drawer front. There are two parts to the directions, one for if it is for an interior (hidden) drawer, vs a typical drawer. Where you screw those bell shaped metal pieces into the drawer front (done before you snap the front into the drawer) is what is different depending on the type of drawer you're doing. I'm pretty sure yours is screwed in as if it is for a hidden drawer as that kind does sit a bit lower that the regular drawer. The portion you made the mistake on should be back really close to the beginning of the drawer instructons and will require you to remove the drawer front. How to do that is in the video benjiesbride linked to.
