Question Do I need the drawer in the 49" akurum corner cabinet?

The lady in the store convinced me that it wasn't possible but, having put the cabinet together (aside from the drawer) I realize that all that is needed is a 21"x30" abstrakt door and the drawer would no longer be needed.

I checked on line (searched for abstrakt) and sure enough a 21x30 door does exist. Does the drawer and additional fittings give some additional strength which is absolutely necessary?

Drawers are just way cooler, as far as I know.

NBeth, you're following me around

Thanks although I think I'm going to give the lemans a whirl. They have them in the UK for close to half price and my parents over there can probably bring next time they visit.

You are correct, you do not need the drawer in the 49" corner cabinet. Sometimes I think is is just easier for IKEA to show it with the drawer, because it is a more expensive version and it takes up space in the catalog(note that 21" cabinets are not in the catalog). All you would need to do, is return the drawer interior, drawer front, 21x24" door and the akurum drawer partition. Ask the co-worker in the kitchen department for a 21x30 door and you have a corner cabinet w/o a drawer
