I picked up an Ikea kitchen catalogue and wanted to compare prices
with B&Q. I'd worked out how many units I needed but can't really
compare because most of my units were going to be 1000mm base
units and for some reason Ikea only do up to 800mm. Does anyone
know the reason for this or have I read the catalogue wrong? I
thought 500mm & 1000mm were the norm

Cheaper ranges only do these widths. Other such as B&Q do 150, 300,
400, 500, 600, 800 and 1000. Without looking at an Ikea book it
sounds as if they intend you to use 2 x 500 to fill a 1000 space,
which has advantages (stiffer shelves) and disadvantages (cost,
perhaps less useful storage, more wasted space in corners).
