IKEA Kitchen units - which bits do I need to buy?

Hi everyone,
I just need to buy one 60cm base unit for a sink to put in my utility room. One side will be visible and the other will be against a washing machine.
I can see from their website/catelogue that I need to buy the legs separately. Does anyone know of anything else I need to buy separately to get a complete unit with one 'finished' side?

If you want one end the same colour as the door and nor the carcasse colour, you will need to buy either a replacament end panel or a clad on end panel in the door colour.0

Sorry - You need to buy the legs separately!
Are you sure?
That's like a new car being delivered from the factory without any wheels!0 -
The carcase is white and so is the door so hopefully that won't be a problem.
Yes, the description of the unit says you have to buy legs separately which is what got me thinking if there was anything else. I've ordered nw so hopefully it's all there!!0 -
Ikea do work that way, bizarre as it must seem to an indy like you CK. So do Homebase, I believe.
OP, if it is a gloss white door and not a matt, it would still look better with a matching side panel.0 -
I fitted my sink into a corner unit 120cm length, as it had no centre partition in the way. I suspect they sell the legs as a separate item as they fit any number of different units.
You may also need the skirting board (can't remember the proper name) that clips to the front of the legs between the unit and floor.0 -
Are door hinges included? door? door handle?
all seem to be priced separately!0 -
You'll need the unit, doors, handles, hinges, a piece of worktop, legs, a plinth, and fixings to hold it to the wall.0
