Besta storage
I see a new product on the IKEA website called Besta. I need a 24" wide cabinet with drawers. I can't figure out if the 24" Akurum kitchen cabinet can work with all drawers. In the catalog, it comes with one small drawer then doors. So I was searching around and found the Besta series. They have a 24" wide bookcase, and as an accessory, they have drawers. The drawers are 24x10. Is it safe to assume that 3 of these drawers would fit in the akurum kitchen cabinet? It seems like they would, but I don't know the systems well enough to know for sure, so I'm asking you all!
Obviously if it's possible to make the 24" cab work with all kitchen drawers that would be ideal, but I just can't seem to figure it out since I don't know what they offer in 24" wide drawers.

Here's a link to the Besta accessories. The link to the drawer is broken (now), but the link to the drawer front works ok.

Re: Besta storage
I just installed the 24" pantry with pull out drawers so I know there are 24" drawers. They may just not be listed anywhere. When I ordered my kitchen I even had to give the Ikean placing my order the item number for the drawer front (which I got here on Ikea fans) for a drawer in the pantry that is below the door (I did a slight modification). One of the experienced Ikea fans will be able to give you more direction on how to outfit your 24" cabinet with drawers. Is it a base cabinet or a high pantry?

Re: Besta storage
It's the base cabinet, so only 30" tall. Thanks for the info... good to know there are at least other 24" drawer options so this might work.

Re: Besta storage
Oh, THANK YOU! I knew I'd remembered reading something like that, but couldn't remember the specifics well enough to search and find it. Perfect!
