SAFETY FIRST! Always attach your cabinets to a wall.

Cabinets from Ikea come with instructions as to how to mount them safely against a wall, Howdens have an online guide for fitting their cabinets and we would generally expect any reputable company to be able to advise.

It is of the utmost importance that you or your fitter attaches these cabinets to the wall even if they feel stable, and even if it stands on legs.

In general we recommend finding a suitably qualified and experienced kitchen fitter or joiner. The majority of issues that arise when fitting kitchens are easily avoided or resolved by someone with the requisite skill and experience. Whilst clipping doors on may be fairly straightforward other aspects can require more skill and attention to detail. The quality of fitting directly relates to the quality of the final kitchen.
