Hey does anyone know if IKEA makes a drawer insert for their drawer-less file drawers?
I keep seeing cabinets with them on FB market place and they’d be perfect except they aren’t drawers they are just racks.

Hey does anyone know if IKEA makes a drawer insert for their drawer-less file drawers? Which IKEA model are you referring to? I'm having trouble imagining a drawer-less file drawer. Wondering if you are looking for an organizer to just set inside a deep drawer? |

Wondering if you are looking for an organizer to just set inside a deep drawer? im looking for a drawer to be a drawer. However looking at used cabinets I keep finding what would be perfect but that the drawers are not drawers. At one point IKEA made their larger drawer/file drawer to be just a front & just wire racks to hold the files inside. I don’t know if the make it this way anymore. flic.kr/p/2pKRwfb photo I cropped from one that was for sale |

It's unit 505.081.76. Here is a link to it on ebay, www.ebay.com/itm/125893626926I couldn't figure out the link on IKEA, but it costs $130.00 at IKEA.
ETA: see above post. Yes, just add a piece of cardboard or two to lift the bottom of cabinet up off carpet and it works fine.

I can get these on FB pretty often but what I’m trying to find out is if IKEA ( or anyone else ) has an insert to make the file rack into a drawer. Cardboard isn’t going to hold stuff in as it won’t be in files. I need a drawer not a file rack. The file rack is useless to me. |

Yes, I can buy them new ( and I may have to ) I was just trying to see if there was a way to use the used ones as they come up frequently for $20-$30 |

In the past I've seen some websites that have interesting hacks people have come up with for various IKEA furniture pieces. Perhaps someone has figured this one out? |

I’ll try that. I just figured that if I could figure it out I’d save a lot of money on a used one. But I don’t have the right equipment to build a drawer
