Hi,

I'm about to order the Sink Front Tip-Out Tray for my 36'' wide sink cabinet. Then I wonder if I can install one big tray for 36'', or I have to have 2 small tray for each door front.

Is there any wood strip in the middle to hold the door front behind the door front? Or is it wide open, so I can install the long 36'' tray (I'll probably need to cut a bit for both side tho...)?

If it's wide open, I'm hoping that I can attach these long tray to both of door front, so it works as 1 tip-out tray. Have anyone done this trick? Is it stable enough, or do I need to have a metal strip or something to hold 2 door front straight?

The tray I'm looking at is listed in http://www.kitchensource.com/cabinet...v-sinktray.htm

-----
Another struggle here is whether I need to get a slim (1 11/16'' deep) or I can get a deeper one (2 7/16'' deep).

My sink will be this one (spec included) ---> http://www.cecosinks.com/catalog/details.lasso?c=33052

If you have any advice on it, I would really appreciate to have that. Thanks!

We're thinking of doing the same thing. I'll screw a metal plate to hold the 2 18" drawer fronts together and it will be a 36" wide tip-out. It will need an 1/8" gap between them. The question would be how to treat that little gap. Normally it would be white of the Ikea bracket, so maybe leave it steel or paint it white.

What am I missing here? I know the beautiful tut. shows making them tip out separately. Is that a aesthetic or structual decision?

Somebody must have tried this! I did some searchs of the forums, this is all I found.

I'd love to hear opinions

Thanks,
Emily
