KALLAX: 6 × 7 units and plenty of height
The KALLAX insert with two drawers offers about 275 × 307 mm inside and 138 mm of height. That fits 6 × 7 units and bins up to 18 units tall – plenty for cables, tools or craft supplies.
MALM: a large grid for the dresser
The drawers of the MALM chest (80 cm) are about 718 × 428 mm inside, giving 17 × 10 units with very slim padding. The height depends on the drawer – please measure yourself.
MOPPE and PALLRA mini chests, MICKE desk
For MOPPE, PALLRA and MICKE the dimensions are guide values from the community. The templates are a good starting point – measure and adjust the values in the planner before printing.
Measure before printing: width and depth inside at the bottom, height from the bottom to the underside of whatever sits above when closed. If your numbers differ, enter them in the planner – Gridmint recalculates everything.
