yeaah, i totally don't trust my eyes or ability to read a level and this has been a good reminder of that...
Buuuut, after a long evening I can confirm that a) squaring the frame with the flimsy back panel is super important and b) don't underestimate the undulations in the wall, ours are not straight and it was throwing the frames out a bit too.
Can recommend the ikea 'exceptionel' drawers though - they're basically just the blum tandembox ones and way sturdier than the maximera ones for too much extra cash
Yeah - nothing fancy, had them cut up by a joiner nearby. Works out fairly similar in price to low-mid-range ikea fronts and i've got plenty of offcuts to do stuff with.
I bought the cheapest ikea fronts i could to use as a jig to drill through to create the holes in the right place.
