I've built some Ikea Besta units.
For the hinges and push opening, I should have used this:

That's pretty expensive.
For the hinges... I bought a pack of 50 from Amazon - for about £27.
They've been perfect.
+ The Ikea ones have super bad rating from people who complain the screws were tooo big and had to be forces into the holes (or something to that effect) - comment made by quite a few.
I've experienced myself.
I still need to fit the push openers. Everything else is built.
I've bought - just need to fit!
But now I'm thinking... maybe I should save some money and buy from Amazon or ebay?
I can save about £25 compared to buying JUST the push openers.
This is the one from Ikea:

I don't mind paying for quality - but Ikea are ripping customers off.
Hinges... you can buy for other Ikea cupboard models - EXACT same... but a fraction of the cost... BUT the spacing of the holes is different, so you can't use with Besta frames.
I don't like being ripped off like that.
Or am I missing something?
Thanks.
