Is there a reason you can't get any pull outs on the 36" wide base cabinets? I could do 2 18" cabinets but the cost is a lot more than 1 36" base cabinet.
There is no 36" wide taller door, just the drawer fronts. You could do two separate pullouts (people have done this in sink cabinets) but you would need to mount the middle divider on the bottom of the cabinet for the rails to attach to, just like at the top for the two 18" drawers. Or you could do as kelly did and attach the two drawer fronts together, she's got another internal drawer inside above the pullout. Very Blum.
I looked at the price sheet again and I guess I should have used the wording wire basket instead of pull out--I still want the drawers on top. Can I buy the 2 door, 2 drawer 36" base cabinet (BD236) and separately get two sets of the 18" wire baskets? Would that work? Would I have to install some sort of side pieces for the baskets to attach to?
are you just wanting baskets at the bottom? and why baskets, but not drawers, if i can ask? Prevailing opinion is that the drawers are superior to the baskets
I wanted the baskets because I want to store some tall stuff and may just put the baskets on the bottom and leave the top part of the cabinet open. With the drawers I would be more limited on the height.
Check out Dulci's mod to make internal drawer fronts 36" wide and you'll have the best of both worlds: strength and stability of the drawers, placement as you wish (so long as the door hinges don't interfere).
or you can put the drawer partition at the bottom of the cabinet (which you'd have to do for baskets anyway) and have pull outs (PollyQ did this under her sink)
drawers are much more stable than baskets and if you're storing tall items i would highly recommend you go with some drawer configuration (when i say drawer i don't mean using the
Akurum
drawer fronts, i mean the drawer boxes)
Akurum is the North American equivalent of FAKTUM; that is the fitted, frameless, component kitchen cabinet line, which when paired with door and drawer fronts as well as interior accessories makes up the full kitchen cabinet system.
yes. just make sure you have the drawer partition as well. you'll need the template for where to drill the holes and attach the drawer hardware. that comes in the
rationell
drawer front package. if you don't have any of those in your order
