Hi there forum.

Anyone have the newer (no older than about 3 ish years (the short little leg version..)..) Ikea base cabinets? Specifically the 60cm deep ones...

Looking for a bit of help with a measurement that isn't listed on the website...

I need to know the distance between the back of the cabinet, and the front of the front feet... Imagine I'm building a step for this to stand on, and I want to know (accurately) how deep front to back it will need to be so the feet are just supported..

Make sense?

If anyone can do me a good mm measurement I'd be grateful. Round up to the nearest 5mm is fine, but not round down.

Cheers.

500mm for me, from the back of the wall, as once you've hung them on to their little rail there's a few mm extra they can sit off the wall.

would wait for someone else's confirmatory measurement, though!

Did your measurement include that rail space, or no? I couldn't quite tell..

it does yep - which itself is about 10mm or so - so purely from the cupboard backs to the front of the legs, it'd be 490mm.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
