Question Installing pull out drawer in regular base cabinet
I have Ikea kitchen base cabinets and am wondering if there is a way to take out the shelves and install pull out drawers instead. Any comments would be appreciated.

Indeed you can. The only caveat is that you will have to replace you standard hinges with the 153° hinges to have the doors clear the drawers inside when they open.

Or you can simply buy drawers and drawer fronts and change over from doors to drawers! If the cab is narrow installing the rails will be somewhat painful but that's the only real catch. Good luck!
