Hackers Help: Can I Install LILLÅNGEN Cabinet between studs?

I was wondering if anyone has attempted to place a LILLÅNGEN Cabinet inside the walls in between studs? The width of this cabinet seems to fit within the typical 16 inch space of studs.

Hi Cheryl

I’ve not seen it done with a LILLÅNGEN cabinet but I believe, it can be done if the space between the studs and the depth of the dry wall allow for it.

As an example, here’s how Peter inserted the BRIMNES wardrobe into a nook under the stair.

Happy hacking,
