Scroll for Links -This is a quick video on how to mount and level lower Sektion Base Cabinets from Ikea for and Island. These are the lower cabinets that will mount to one another to make and Island. Its easier than you think and I want you to see the process before you begin building or buying your own Ikea Kitchen.
Ikeas directions that come in the box are simple and easy to use but I think it really helps to see it being built before you build your own/ It helps you see and understand the process and the end result.
My Goal is to provide you with enough knowledge and visual direction that if you want to build your kitchen that you will feel comfortable enough to dive in and do it.
So many things in life seem scary until you learn about them or experience them.

Very good job ! Smart hack to put one cabinet on another to get it leveled, i'll think about it when i'll mount my future kitchen. Thank you

[@jaredmyers3227]

Thanks! Good luck on your future kitchen!

[@hamzaelmabchouri2137]

@@jaredmyers3227 looking forward for your next project !

[@nicke1022]

Great work man! One way to tackle the leveling of it all would be to get the first one at the exact height you need and use the level to reference off of that one as you go. Laser line makes the process much quicker though.

[@jaredmyers3227]

Thanks so much! Where were you when I was leveling out island...I could have used your help. ;) Yeah, you are right that would have been way easier. Thanks, I will keep that in mind for next time.

@@jaredmyers3227 haha you wouldnt need me, just a decent laser! It is a good investment!! Especially if ya don't have much help and you diy solo.

[@justineleitarte2319]

very helpful, thank you!

[@jaredmyers3227]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching

[@sejalshah2519]

Your videos are really helpful! If you needed a rolling island, could you still set up like this but modify for casters?

[@jaredmyers3227]

Thanks so much. Yes, awesome idea! just don't put an oven in it like I did, lol.

[@ahmadaladeli8066]

How can you install over head cabinets without rails? Just fix it direct to wall

[@jaredmyers3227]

You probably could but you have to make sure you attach to studs, which might be problematic based on cabinet mounting points. When you mount standard wood cabinets the back wall is usually a solid piece of wood so you can put screws anywhere but with IKEA cabinets the back wall is a press board so you can not use it mount cabinet, the screws would pull through the pressed board or the rest of the cabinet would fall off the wall and the back would still be attached to the wall.

[@Key-Pen_it_real_1A]

Can you tell the screw you used to attach the frames together or show the label?

[@jaredmyers3227]

Yes here is what i used amzn.to/3RsJDwF

could you post a link to the sektion feet you used?

[@jaredmyers3227]

well it looks like they changed the design a little bit from when I did mine but these look very similar www.ikea.com/us/en/p/sektion-leg-10265518/
