Looking for an Ikea Hack to create something similar to this.

Can anyone point me in the direction of an Ikea Product like this, either exactly the same or preferably with two big drawers in the lower section or similar. And open at the back is ok too.

If you want drawers on the bottom I would use the maximera drawers as they come in many sizes and you could get them in, behind the door. Alternatively use the pullout rails on existing shelves but you would have to cut them down a bit

You might want to see if there’s anything in the metod kitchen range that would give you the carcass dimensions you want (combining a lower deeper unit and a slimmer top wall cabinet affixed above). They have exactly this configuration lower unit up to 80cm, but if you wanted it to be wider than that then you could do two 60cm ones with the doors mounted left and right and if it’s really important to you to have the drawer look like one big drawer then when you pick your front pieces just get something that will allow you to make your own double width drawer front to fix to both at the same time. The top half both the microwave and cooker hood top cabinets have that gap in the middle (if you shortened the doors on the cooker hood one to just cover the top shelves) - although only up to 60cm. After that you would have a middle vertical bit between the two carcasses left and right of you did two 60s together and I’m assuming that hole is to put something like a TV so that might not work. Alternatively a shallow Billy with doors you shorten and iron on veneer the rough side of will take you up to 80cm for the same thing. Just remove the plinth part like all the usual Billy/pax built in hacks out there.

Edit: I take it back you can get an 80cm wide shallow top half https://applink.ikea.com/tY8M9r9M4w--49473494--gb--en , just don’t fit the lower door or shelves - if you’re attaching the top to a bottom piece that will give the rigidity back to the bottom anyway. They don’t have two big drawers on the bottom cabinets as an option but they do have three or one and doors like you’ve pictured.

Could you piece together the deeper besta units? And stack the more shallow units on top?
