Kitchen corner cupboard - Faktum

We have lost the instructions for teh corner cupboard, sonewhere in the 100 cardboard boxes and millions of other instructions etc etc etc .... just can't work out where the white half bobbles go. Can anyone help?

The design they did with us has the corner cupboard next to the microwave cupbaord so our next adventure is working out if we can open the cupoboard or not....

Re: Kitchen corner cupboard - Faktum

The microwave cabinet will not work beside the corner cabinet...the microwave shelf will prevent the door from opening properly...the white 'half-domes' are attached to the upper and lower face of the corner cabinet - they help align the door...careful: they really stick well.

Re: Kitchen corner cupboard - Faktum

I wanted to mention that we put the microwave cab to the right of the corner upper (Akurum, not sure if same as Faktum). We ended up cutting off both bottom corners of the shelf that hold the microwave and ironing on some veneer. Another option is to use a piece of plywood or something else as the shelf rather than the microwave shelf that Ikea supplies. I've been happy w/the cut corners and both units are still fully operational as a result.

Re: Kitchen corner cupboard - Faktum

thank you for that idea. I am not sure if faktum and aukurum are the same, we are in Australia and I can see your catalogue items are different names to ours which really amuses me given that they are not "english" names anyway...
