Well, we found out the problem with the Lansa handles! My husband figured out how to check the handles themselves, and lo and behold, many of the handles were bad! (lopsided) After all his hours of work, really frustrating. I mean, he measured and measured and showed me and I saw the holes were aligned, and then he drilled and put on the handles and they looked wrong...Anyway, almost half of the smaller size are crooked--I certainly hope IKEA will take them back. We have to make a trip later in the year after we know for sure what else we have to order to finish up. Due to a miscalculation on my part, I need to get a couple of red Abstrakt doors instead of the drawers I brazenly ordered! I can cook in the kitchen, but it is not done yet. Looks FANTASTIC!!!

Double ouch... That's among the most frustrating kinds of problems. Give your husband our sympathy! Yikes...

I'm quite sure IKEA will take them back, I'd let them know what a frustrating time and effort wasting experiencethe handleswere too. They need to know if they have a problem that bad, and maybe someone in management can figure out a way to try and make it right...

We bought Lansa handles as well, not yet installed; so how did your husband check for possible problems? Did Ikea take yours back? Thanks, Elke
