I can 100% vouch for this absolute truth.
I had to put together 4 separate big bastard drawer units for our walk in robe when we moved in like 8 years ago. It took me 2 full days and I am still scarred from the memory.

I’ve got a workshop in my basement I used IKEA kitchen cabinets for. And of course I have a couple of the KALLAX cubbies.
