Save money by installing IKEA kitchen cabinets yourself

Ikea kitchen cabinets can be an affordable alternative to custom made cabinets, especially if you do the installation yourself. In this detailed video we show you how to install a standard set of cabinets from Ikea into a new kitchen from start to finish!

Tips to help your installation go smoothly:
- pre-mark stud locations on your wall prior to installing the rails
- take your time installing the rails as these are critical and not adjustable once installed
- use a laser to project lines and assist with leveling
- use clamps to hold things securely while fastening components together
- double-check appliance openings in both the front and back
- establish layout from a fixed point such as centerline of faucet/sink
- take care with the bottom cabinet legs as they can be damaged with excessive loading and force

Helpful info for Ikea kitchen cabinets:
- use the planner/design tools on the Ikea website to layout your cabinets and get a price quote
- cabinets are universal and can be configured for virtually any space
- quick turnaround time for materials compared to a custom build
- Ikea also sells countertops which can be helpful if you don't want to shop around at separate stores
- end panels can be chosen to match the finish of the doors and cabinets
