I wouldn't want anything less. i love mine. My kitchen is about 4.5 years old. Metal drawer bottoms. wonderful slides. Even the big drawers that hold dishes operate smoothly, and open fully. A lot of IKEA hardware is made by Blum.

Ikea sells two grades of drawers these days:

Maximera, which are the ones about which everyone says nice things,

and Forvara, which aren't. Always choose MA in the drawer pulldown menu when offered a choice.

Thats good to know, Maximera.

oops, writersblock. on a phone. we have no edit option. thanks for the info.

Maximera is the default. You have to actively change it to Forvara, so it’s pretty hard to mistakenly order it.

Hmm, for me until I changed it the first time the default was Forvara and it still goes back if I delete all cache and cookies. Whatever.

Really? Huh. Maybe I’m mistaken, then.

I’ve ordered products a few times since the change (three different projects) and I don’t recall ever selecting it, but maybe I did the first time and it’s just stayed that way over the last few years. Good to know!

I did not know this about their kitchen hardware. Good to know. I've always been pleased with their drawer hardware with bedroom chests and office cabinets. Glide soooo smoothly!
