I hope it's ok to ask a related question here. I have seen Joseph's replies to other posts recommending the HUSH solution, but I don't know enough to be able to explain to my contractor why this can work. I, too, have a 24" IKEA Sektion cabinet and want to install the longest undermount sink possible. Based on what I've read about HUSH, I thought I could select a Kohler undermount with basin length = 22.25". But my contractor said that the flange is still 24" and asked if the flange sits on top of the cabinet and, if so, how that impacts the countertop. I'd be grateful if you can point me in the right direction Joseph! FYI, here is the sink: https://www.build.com/kohler-k-5286-kitchen-sink/s867441?uid=2217519#specifications

What is the Maven's website and how would I reach it to ask anything? Don't have much luck calling Ikea, especially on weekends when a caller can diligently work their way thru the phone maze only to finally reach a recording that says they are too busy, call back later. For those who really must know.....we already bought the bed. It was from CL, so it is not this year's version, and who knows how old it is. It is too low for the underbed storage bins someone gave us, which seem to be the ones intended for some version of the Malm bed....so yeah, you could call us trolls trying to make sense of the world.

We did what you are considering with a cover panel to help support the countertop between our dishwasher and apron front sink; we notched out the bottom and ran toe kick in front of it. If you put a cover panel between your DW and stove (notched out or not), I would also put one on the other side of the stove or the DW so it looks symmetrical and "planned". Hillside House has a good point about countertop heights. I would measure very carefully to see that your countertops won't end up higher than 37" There is a gap of about 1/4 inch between the top of the cabinet and the countertop to take into account. It may very well be fine, but as you said, now is the time to be sure. Also check your dishwasher specs. I thought I had our measurements planned down to the fraction of an inch with our Ikea cabinets, but our countertops still ended up being 1/4-1/2 inch high than I expected, though that worked out well for us.

Ikea hinges are made by Blum for Ikea. Ikea has been using the 125 for years with the bulky add on piece to make them soft close. They just added the 110 with intergrated soft close like we have been using for 3-4 years now. I never use the Ikea hinges because of the old technology and my wholesale price is less than half of Ikea. The 110 with the built-in soft close are fine. Thats why Ikea finally upgraded to them. You could buy Blum hinges on your own but you need to know what you are getting because there are many different options.
