We planned an ikea kitchen with an ikea kitchen person and purchased it in 2023 at our local ikea store. We have a farm style sink, Havsen, next to a lazy susan, this was part of the plan. The problem is when you open the lazy susan door it hits the havsen sink because the sink sticks out a bit, by design. I think there really should have been a small spacer between the sink and the lazy susan to allow the door to open enough to access the lazy the Susan.

IKEA has offered to change our sink but the cabinet and countertops are already cut and installed.

The ikea store display shows the exact same layout though and their lazy susan door opens a lot more than ours. So why is that?

If you look at the pictures, in store display, the top hinge of the lazy susan has partially pulled out of the cabinet on the ikea display! I mean it’s basically broken. This is allows the door to move more away from the sink so the hinge can then turn more giving better access to the lazy susan. When closed the door does not line up nicely.

The green cabinets are ours, the black is the IKEA display at the Montreal store. I’ve included a picture showing the front, top screw of the top hinge pulling out of the cabinet so that the door opens more.

Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so what have you done to fix it? Many thanks

Hey gang, just installed a new Sektion kitchen. One problem that I knew that I would have is with the corner cabinet and its large blind corner, and the poor accessibility of anything around that corner.

The only solution that Ikea seems to offer is this pull-out fitting, but its shape results in a lot of unused real estate. Not only is it a semicircle inside a rectangle (so you lose the storage space that the corners would offer), it also does not seem to go all the way to the very back of the cabinet. That essentially turns a very spacious cabinet into something much smaller.

Are there any other solutions out there (Ikea or third-party) that can increase the accessibility of things way back in the cabinet, but without having to sacrifice so much space? Am I trying to have my cake and eat it too?

(For reference, I'm in Canada)
