I would be happy to send pics of the finished job. He is doing an excellent job and I told him to just take his time and enjoy the process. Thanks again. You are awesome!

[FranksDIY]

Nice explanation. Ikea installers are charging me half the cost of the kitchen therefore ill do it myself . Thanks again

[mariaorlando]

Thank you so much for this video!! I'm planning on installing our cabinets myself and watching you do it with the tips you gave me hopefully I'll be able to do it!! thank you again :)

Those are colossal sushi pieces, YUMMM! I should make some myself soon.
Thank you for the instructions. It is a nicely assembled 'remember-these-points' video. AND a HUGE thank you as well for reminding the double-screw method. I had seen on someone else's video a while back. Great reminder!
I assembled the bottom of my kitchen cabinets a few years back (somewhat of an emergency at the time).
I wasn’t comfortable with the legs being only on one side, so I doubled them up and added legs to the back too — just in case I ever had to step on them in the future 🤩 (and here we are — it is the future now, haha!).
The top cabinets, I had to leave for later because it is an old house 100+. It had a hanging ceiling. The top cabinets where more complicated - didn't know what to expect underneath if I removed the ceiling and at the time, I had other emergency situations going, like the DECK!
Oh my, with this years snow in Toronto, I had some water situation.
The ceiling finally had to come down, which now made the top kitchen cabinets an emergency situation. Alas, when the hanging ceiling came down, I had surprises.
Anyway, enough about me — thank you so much for sharing your great video!!!

You make this look so easy and I think I can do it since I’ve already tackled hanging floating shelves, etc. The part that scares me is installing the drawers in my pantry and other base cabinets. Thank you.

Fast, great tips, good for a person like me. Looking for the sink cab video…..

[cameronjuzda]

Did you leave the gap at the top of the ceiling or will you be adding trim, will be installing the same cabinets this week.

Thanks looks great

[loogle]

Thanks for the video.

I would like it if you added more explanation for your measurements.

You say to measure 32 3/16 inches from the ground, but why?

[TeRarere]

Hey Mate, what laser are you using in this tutorial please? Thanks

[TheFrosstitute]

I know it's an old video, but i'm installing some lower cabinets atm, iv seen before that you should measure up 32 3/16 from the floor, from the heighest point and this is where you'll draw your line across for the rail to go, i measured my cabinet's height from the bottom to the bottom of the bracket/hook that goes onto the rail, which is 28.4 inches, plus the kickboard which will be 3 inches, so overall 31.4 inches for the kickboard to fit and from the bottom of the cabinet to reach the bottom of the rail, the video didn't really explain why its 32 3/16 but should i just measure the rail line for 32 inches then to give myself some room or would i risk it being too high and should just stick with the sure measures of kickboard + bottom of cabinet to bottom of the bracket

appreciate if you have a minute to get back to me

Do you have a video of showing how to cut the upper coverpanels for a solution like this that u have the diagonal corner cabinet?

[MariMari-nysi]

My husband wants to know how do you attach the bottom of the wall cabinet to the wall? He is installing them now. Thank you!

Any concerns with the weight capacity of the corner wall cabinet. We’re planning on the model with shelves. Only 2 rail hooks for a heavy piece looks sketch.
Any ideas for securing more?

2:16 “In the United States, [studs] are always 16 inches on center.” You’ve obviously not been doing construction very long.

[natnaccarato]

Are you adding a deco strip trim to the uppers?

[shivargorolle]

any info on the kitchen floor tiles dimension, colour and where you bought them? I'm being harassed by my girlfriend to find out.

[ImportedFromSerbia]

Nothing can't be done w/o the Blue Moon..:))

00:08 “It doesn’t require some effort on your part.” Huh?
