Oh am I stressed. Need to place an order this week and I'm so confuesed re all the drawer configurations and what actually can be done. I would like to have a 15" pullout in my island between a 36" cookktop cabinet and a 30" cabinaet with 3 drawers (I figured out that I can buy a 30" shallow drawer for the top). Ideally I would like the 15" pullout to have a drawer front at the top and the door panel at the bottom. Esthetically this would look better with the cooktop drawers and the 30" cabinet drawers to the other side of it - make sense? Is there any way to modify the pullout so that it looks like this from the front. See pic. Handle would be Horizontal. Just had a thought - that might look odd with the two handles so what about taking a 15x6 drawer front and an 15x 24 door attaching them together at the back with flat bracket thingies ant voila pullout with fascia that looks like drawer and door - would it work?
Is there a thread somewhere that explains exactly how these pullouts are put together and what they are comprised of?
Now is there anyway to have a 36 drawer front? Thx for all the help over the last few weeks. Tumbilli

You can have the shallow drawer at the top and a pull-out beneath it (using the 15x24" door) - the two horizontal handles would look fine.

I've been using th 06 planner because everything in the 07 planner is metric which is confusing me more. The 07 planner has alot moe options- it seems! The widest base cab is 80cm, which converts to just under 32 ". No 36". Help!

Hi, Tumbilli,

I'll try to answer some of your questions:

Ideally I would like the 15" pullout to have a drawer front at the top and the door panel at the bottom. Esthetically this would look better with the cooktop drawers and the 30" cabinet drawers to the other side of it - make sense? Is there any way to modify the pullout so that it looks like this from the front. See pic.

Yes, this is entirely possible. Each of the components are ordered separately, so if you wanted this to function as a drawer on top and a pull out on the bottom, you'd order the following:

Shallow 15" wide drawer front
Shallow 15" drawer to attach to the wood drawer front
15" wide by 24" tall door
1 15" deep drawer (to attach to the drawer)
as many 15" shallow drawers as you want inside your pullout and the matching internal drawer fronts to go with them

what about taking a 15x6 drawer front and an 15x 24 door attaching them together at the back with flat bracket thingies ant voila pullout with fascia that looks like drawer and door - would it work?

Yep, I'm pretty sure this would work too. Then you would have one tall pull out without a functional separate drawer on top. Same order list as above but making sure you have as many interior drawer fronts as you have shallow drawers.

Now is there anyway to have a 36 drawer front?

Alas, there is not, if you mean the shallow one. The 36 inch wide cab usually comes with 2 18" shallow drawers and 2 36" deep drawers. If you're using a slab doorstyle, you could cut down a deep drawerfront or cover panel to make a shallow one and attach it to the two 18" wide drawers inside to get the look of 1 36" wide drawer.

Hope that helps!

Wow - you guys are fast and yes that is very helpful. I now have my island figured out thx to your input but now my mind is wandering back to thsink cabinet since reading your explanation. If it is possible to have internal shallow drawers could I not put a couple of internal pull out shallow drawers (18") in my sink cabinet as long as I provide a vertical support divider in the middle to which they would attach. The parts catalogue shows these drawers but without fronts. Would I still attach that thingy 20108924 to the front of the drawer even though they wouldn't actually be attached to the door??

yes you can, and the part you need is called the Rationell Drawer Front, i don't have the part #, but that is what you need to make an internal drawer

You've got the solution already, but this thread will show you what it looks like when you do a 15" pullout with a drawer on top: Before and After: Vanity in Hallarum

You are extremely talented. That is a beautiful bathroom!! I am very frustrated that Ikea no longer has a wood or wood veneer slab door. I feel I'm compromising my design plan using Tidaholm (not that it's not a lovely style it's just not ideal for our home) but I'm hoping I can modernize it using Avsikt, Rubrik etc similar to the 07 catalogue. Thx again for the pictures and I now think I have a handle on how the pullouts and shelves work thx to this forum. Tumbilli

Nexus Birch is a wood veneer slab door. And Nexus Brown Black is also a slab wood door (whenever it comes back onto the sales floor ). Granted it's not the lovely shade that Hallarum was ::sigh::.

Thanks Tumbilli! I agree, when I look at my vanity it just kills me that Ikea let Hallarum go. It's absolutely perfect for a mid-century modern home like mine (and I should have put it in the kitchen while I had the chance!). The wood is a dead-on match for the miles of mahogany trim and doors in my house. I've always thought the trim looked really cheap, but with Hallarum to go next to it, it's made me appreciate it a bit more.
