15" pullout base cabinet assembly question

Hi. I am just about finished putting together my ikea kitchen. It hasn't been to painful, ay kitchen is very small 11' along one wall.
I am trying to put together the 15" base pullout cabinet. I have 1 shallow drawer put together that is closed on four sides. I have a taller drawer that is closed on four sides with the three circular rails. I have a third shallow drawer. My question is should the drawer with the circular rails go on the bottom, attached to the pullout front? The have two shallow drawers above it? Or have a shallow drawer attached to the pullout front. Plus I cannot put a fourth side on the shallow drawer as I see to have two right corner pieces.
Will it matter if I put the shallow drawer on the bottom attached to the pullout front? All the pictures and the template seem to show the drawer with the rails on the bottom. Should I have two drawers with rails?

Thanks!

The deep drawer (with the rails) should be attached to the door (pullout front). I think the height and the rails create needed stability, so I definitely wouldn't try to use the shallow drawer.

If you really have 2 rightside corners, I think you'll have to return one of the shallow drawer-fronts to Ikea to get one that works. Is this the one you currently have installed on your deep drawer?

I haven't installed any of the drawers onto the pullout front yet. I didn't want to start putting holes in the front until I was sure what went where.

It does make sense to have the rails go on the bottom.

I guess I will have to go get that part. Luckly, the ikea is only 45 minutes away, though I am in NYC, so sometimes that can also mean 4Hrs. !

You probably know this already, but just in case . . . There should be a template in the 15" drawer set that will show you where to put the holes. Good luck!
