Typical kitchen face frame base cabinets have limited effective storage space because, while 24” deep, only the first half or so of that depth is easily and readily available. A much preferred situation would allow access to, and use of, the full depth of the cabinet.
If you have nominal 18” wide cabinets that are 24” deep in your kitchen (or anywhere for that matter), you can install IKEA Maximera drawers as pull-outs in the cabinets with no alteration of the existing cabinets or the IKEA drawers. All that is required are some screws and two 16” lengths of 1×2 wood for each drawer.
We have installed 13 Rationell drawers (now replaced by the Maximera low height drawers), one Maximera medium height drawer, and one Maximera deep height drawer as pullouts in our kitchen using the following approach.

2. Attach the drawer glides to the pieces of 1×2” wood using the following steps. (Attention to detail in aligning the pieces is important to ensure a smooth operating drawer.)
(b) Place the front end of an assembled glide 5/8” from the end of one of the pieces of wood placed on its 3/4” side. (The set back allows for the width of the drawer front.) Make sure the bottom of the glide is even with the bottom of the piece of wood. (Work on a flat surface and use the other piece of wood as a registration surface to push the two pieces against to make sure they are properly aligned.)
(c) While holding the aligned pieces in place (or clamped in place), attach the glide to the piece of wood using two flat head phillips screws, one in front and one in back. (If you have one, use the self-centering drill bit to drill holes through two of the mounting holes on the glide before driving the screws to ensure better alignment.) See Photo 2, which shows the installed assembly.

Drive two of the 2” screws into, but not through, each of the boards from the top, one about 2” from the end the glide is aligned to (the front), and the other about halfway down the board. (Further back and the second screw becomes hard to reach during installation in the cabinet.) See Photo 3, which shows the installed assembly.
(b) In cabinets with a fixed shelf: Assemble per the IKEA Maximera directions through Step 5. The rest of the drawer box assembly will occur later.
The drawer installation instructions are written for a cabinet with a fixed shelf. For cabinets with an adjustable shelf, simply remove the shelf during installation and replace it when the drawer is installed. To install a drawer on an adjustable shelf, follow the installation steps below.

2. Turn the drawer box upside down and fit the drawer glides into their tracks on the bottom of the drawer box.
3. For low and medium drawers, put the drawer assembly right side up into the cabinet. You may have to tilt it to make it fit because the width of the assembly may now be wider than the cabinet opening because of the pieces of wood. (For medium drawers you may have to slide the drawer out on the glides a little bit while you put it in to get it to go in the cabinet. This will depend on the space between shelves and how much you can tilt the assembly.)
4. For deep drawers, the height of the drawers may not allow them to be placed in the cabinets the same way as the low and medium depth drawers. If you can get the assembly to fit in your cabinet, great! If not, here is how to get it in:

C) While holding the assembly in the tilted position, slip the other glide under the drawer box and fit it loosely into its track slot.
D) Push the assembly back into the cabinet on the installed glide and lower it all the way down. Gently pull the drawer in and out all the way until the drawer box catches on the second glide mechanism. You will hear and feel when it catches.
A) Once the assembly is inside the cabinet, center it in the cabinet opening and, holding it by the boards and sides, pull it towards you so the front ends of the wood pieces butt against the insides of the cabinet face frame.

C) Making sure the pieces of wood are still butted against the face frame, drive the front 2” screws in the pieces of wood into the bottom of the cabinet (or shelf).At Easy Afford, we offer comprehensive packages and can handle the entire IKEA kitchen project from start to finish.

There’s no doubt about it that putting together a new IKEA kitchen can be one of the most fun, rewarding parts of being a homeowner. That’s because IKEA offers some of the most modern-looking, innovative styles and designs you’ll find on the market today.

And not only that, but IKEA home design products are often significantly more affordable than buying from North American brands like Lowes or Home Depot. For example, where you can easily spend tens of thousands of dollars on a new kitchen from these brands, an IKEA kitchen will likely only cost you a few thousand.
So when designing your new cooking space with IKEA products, you’ll be able to choose from dozens of the year’s hottest styles, as well as being able to save yourself hundreds of dollars by mixing and matching IKEA’s home design products however your heart desires.
But when it comes to completing your kitchen with drawers from IKEA, you’ll have the choice between two options: MAXIMERA and FORVARA.
This Ikea Hack Fits Two Kitchen Drawers' Worth Of Storage Into One
Both types of drawers can be used as inner or outer drawers, or even as “drawers within drawers”. But since that explanation probably left you with more questions than answers, let’s take a better look at both MAXIMERA and FORVARA drawers separately.
When you take a look at a MAXIMERA drawer, one of the first things you’ll notice is that they have curved edges on the insides. These interior curves are designed to be used with the matching adjustable MAXIMERA drawer dividers from IKEA, which are excellent for allowing you to customize your storage solution in any way that you want.
MAXIMERA are top of the line IKEA kitchen drawers and are built from high quality materials including metal and durable plastic. Also, drawers hardware package includes a slam-proof, soft-close feature, which tends to be especially useful for people who have children in the house.
Custom Height For Ikea Maximera Drawers?
MAXIMERA drawers from IKEA are available in different width, height and depth and are designed to be used in base cabinets as well as kitchen pantries. They are designed for all IKEA base cabinet and pantry sizes, except 12” base cabinet and corner base cabinets.
Please note that there are no high drawers for IKEA shallow IKEA base cabinets. Also there are 3 drawers that are 17 ¾” in depth. They are used for a sink cabinet and are designed lees in depth to accommodate clearance for a sink P-trap
Between the two options, FORVARA drawers tend to be more cost-effective. However, while they are cheaper, they don’t quite stand up to the same standards as MAXIMERA drawers.

When choosing FORVARA drawers, if you want to customize your storage solution, you’ll need to purchase VARIERA interior box organizers separately. This tends to be a bit of an inconvenience since MAXIMERA drawers come with matching dividers.
Furthermore, FORVARA drawers don’t have the same soft-close feature that you’ll get with MAXIMERA drawers. Plus, another big inconvenience with FORVARA is that they only open up about ¾ of their depth, whereas MAXIMERA drawers open all the way.
While this might not be a huge deal for some homeowners, you’ll find these two features in most of today’s modern kitchens. So if you’re looking to create the most modern kitchen design imaginable, especially if its in order to sell your home, I’d suggest choosing MAXIMERA drawers.

Whether you decide to go with a MAXIMERA or a FORVARA drawer system, you’ll need to finish your cabinet’s design by choosing stylish IKEA drawer fronts. And fortunately, when it comes to choosing your drawer fronts, you’ll have plenty of options of different sizes and styles.
When it comes to IKEA drawer front sizes they are differ in width and height. So in fact are 5”, 10” and 15” in height, whereas width is in a range between 15” to 36”
Many of IKEA’s drawer fronts come complete with a gorgeous finish, which makes them stain-proof, moisture-resistant, and smooth to the touch. Plus, all drawers and fronts are backed by IKEA’s industry-leading 25-year limited warranty
