In our office we have birch veneer galant desks and we would like to put low cabinets on the wall with horizontal doors that pull up like the akurum kitchen doors do.

But we also want the birch veneer cabinet frames, cuz they'll be very visible.

Could I use an EFFEKTIV file fram front as a door somehow? it seems it should be possible if I just got the hinges.

Any ideas?

You could use a VARDE wall cabinet:

eva's got a great suggestion there! Varde goes exceptionally well with Adel Birch, but I can't comment about the Galant. I'd guess yes. Especially if they're across the room from each other, they should be fine.

Does that work for you?

that could work...i'll print out a list and take it with me to check them all out when i go up to ikea.

the cupboards will be right above the desks so i'll have to see..but i can't imagine they'd be too far off.

...i'll be the chic stealing the cabinet door from the kitchen area and running to the office area...

thanks!
