Apparently the Ikea cabinets don't have a service void either which can be a bit of a shitter if you're DIY'ing. Hopefully all your services are in place, ours ain't!
inchpincher-
Yeah that's the usual main criticism of them.

For me that's not the issue, it's that they use a rail system to hang everything from. My wall is made of shite mixed with diluted shite so splashed out on some epic big shield anchors only to find that the only height at which every unit will sit right puts the anchors exactly in the mortar line......
So far sunk 17 anchors, only 8 have taken without immediate fail.
Normal units to be fair would be worse, as not possible to bridge the really shit bits without extensive batons and magic.

Turns out you can't just walk into ikea and buy all the kitchen units you've spent ages choosing, especially not with the stock door sizes and stuff that comes with them.
Wondered in on a Monday morning expecting to be the only person there, wrong, every childed up couple and their parents aunts dog sitter were in there. Wtf!
Took a helpful ikea person over an hour to get my huge list of numbers into an order and then get someone to pick it for me.
Then several more hours for the order to actually get picked, and then it was wrong, then got home nd found several panels damaged within the undamaged boxes. Also found I had elenvty billion of a door I should have one of and none of the rest
Any excise for more ikea cakes thoigh.....
Also why the fuck don't they do a 500mm door, or a blind corner unit!
