Awesome, straightforward and most importantly- working. Very pleased and thankful to stumble upon this one.

Thanks for the great test of the legs. I am making a concrete counter top for a six cab island.

I’ve been watching your channel for a long time. Cabinets delivered, so we put one together just to see. We can do this! With your help, of course. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into your video.

Love the easy instructions

I’m trying to remotely turn the ANSLUTA product from IKEA on and off. Can it be connected to STYRBA?

This video was very helpful. I could not pair the damn things until I watched. Thank you!

I have the Blum hinges and i am reusing them with new front doors. However the left cabinet is good however the right one is set to all the way high and it doesn’t go high enough for some reason. I can’t figure it out. The left one is set to the middle height and is fine

The most straightforward and simple to follow instruction. Managed to set up the LED in my kitchen in less than 5 min. Thanks from Germany!

I have watched most of your videos and was ready to tackle my laundry room and butler's pantry. Then I opened up the rail and wouldn't you know it...Ikea changed the minimum measurement from the ceiling to 1"! I had already installed the rail measuring 2.5" from the bottom of it. The cabinet hooks can't even attempt to sit on the rail. I'm going to lower the rail 1/2"...but I thought you should know the change and maybe it will save someone else the hassle.

I just installed an ikea kitchen but I have 2 base cabinets where the top drawer is not sitting flush. One side is hitting the bumper but the other is not and it seems like the rail is not pushing in all the way. It’s a big cabinet drawer with a low drawer. Not sure how to fix it.

So the 2.5 inches has to be at the lowest point but it’s ok if the other end of my bulkhead is less sacking and has almost 3.4 inch distance? Won’t it look crooked? :S

Great video. What is the process for drilling a new hole if an existing hole doesn't line up with the center of the rails? It should be straightforward but not sure if there's a trick to making sure both new holes are perfectly aligned

Hi are there any IKEA in Co Mayo ,if so where. I can have it fitted by IKEA?.

im wondering if you can give me advice if you don have the mdf with those special bracket what is the other option thanks

4:18 "Most people don't have a Torx in this part of the world" ... I would have bet you are Danish, but then I checked the bio page and it says Canada..

It is for the Ikeas Method cabinets, corect?

Hi Rannes, I have the smoothTistorp door and drawer fronts plus in 2 locations, the horizontal wall cabinets with push up doors that are 15" high. I think i know the answer, but are you proposing that all of them have the handle mounted at the exact same distance from the top (or in the case of horizontal push up) the bottom of the door? Does the handle distance from the edge vary based on the height of the drawer? I have in most cases 3 drawer fronts that are 5",10",15"but in a couple of situation, 2 large drawer fronts that are 15" each and then the normal doors up high plus the horizontal wall cabinets.

Can these do these lights have to be plugged into a socket or can they be hard wired to existing wiring?

such amazing tips, thank you! the reinforced rail should also be used for the cooktop cabinet (induction cooktop), correct ?

you're saying you're running the rail behind the dishwasher and add a bracket as support, are you talking bout the fixa bracket which you'll add to get the right height to support the countertop where the dishwasher is installed? :)

So good thank you!!!

tbh i feel the carousel takes too much space with the hardware, i prefer to just have the utrusta shelf dividing the cabinet in 2 and that gives me a TON of storage space.

Is it OK to use use Besta for push to open mechanism instead of Utrusta for kitchen cabinets? I am fine with 95 degree swing instead 110 degrees swing offered by Utrusta

But what about doors with three hinges? Im struggling, where to start. Do I need just hang on two hinges, and adjust them, and them put third? But then how can i adjust the middle one? Do you have any suggestions? 🤔

this works with tapping the cabinet even if it's locked and attached to all others?

I know its not the best video where I could ask about drawers, but its one of most recent videos, so I would like to know from profesional. Is there any way to get drawer bottom without buying all drawer? Because I guess ruined drawer bottom with water doesn't come in guaranties. Maybe there is a hack, maybe it would be good topic for another video 🤔😅

Great video! I'm installing an ikea island on a concrete floor and adding a floating floor afterwards (13mm). When installing the wooden floor frame for the island, should I raise the frame 13mm? Or put a 13mm spacer between the frame and the underside of the cabinets? I'm also installing a dishwasher in the island so I'm not sure how that height spacing works either.

who can making a same video for us ?we have same smart cabinet lights

For front control, maybe. But for top-control, how would this be feasible? The side attachment holes, if lined up with the face-frame of adjacent cabinets, purposefully bumps out the front of the machine proud of the face-frames. If aligned, you cannot see the top controls whilst standing.

I will be doing this in about 2 weeks :P Did you first screw the cabinets together before you do the final level adjustment?

My question is, how are we supposed to mount the large panels on the back of an island or a peninsula with the new mounting system? There's no provision made for a panel that goes right to the floor in any of the IKEA "literature". My best guess is that you have to cut new corner access holes at the bottoms of the cabinets and install a second set of mounting brackets to use with the new wooden channel strips. (I think we would all love to see a video of this new system being installed!)

Rannes, where do you get the brackets for attaching the large cover panel on the back of the island? Is that IKEA hardware? I don’t seem to have that bracket that has the ridge to prevent the screw from going through the panel in any of the hardware boxes that came with the kitchen island.

I have no experience with the older systems, but my two cents are that this newer system could be sturdier and that it was tricky to adjust.

It's because the installation of them is often too complicated and too much bother for what they are worth. Then add to that, if you have a washing machine or washer dryer and you want a dishwasher too, then you have to look at getting a splitter so they can both share the same water and waste pipe, and this is presuming you've got enough space, not everyone does, and all for what, to clean some plates? To be honest, unless you've got a large family and more than a dozen plates to clean each day, I'd say save your money and just clean them in the sink!

Excellent great post 👍

Thank you sir

This is really unclear. What is the “right” screw to use??

I'm confident my suspension rail is attached the wall securely....but how much weight can the brackets that screw in to the cabinets hold? As the rail can have lots of attachment points, where as each cabinet only has two (one in each corner).

My dishwasher has been working perfectly for 5 years with no installation complaints.😢 This guy must be stopped. 😂

I didn’t know this existed. I checked the manual. It wouldn’t bring $69 worth of value to me so I won’t use it. I think it’s meant for clients with little to no experience and try to guide them through the process of installing an island. As opposed to having them figure out how to build a 2x4 base. Planning, pick-up straight lumber, measure, cut, level, etc… lots of little skills that aren’t hard nor time consuming but that a beginner doesn’t have. $69 for a pro, or a semi experienced DIYer isn’t worth it.

Good content for everyone, suggest to shown the ikea product package so newbies understand all products needed. Thanks

Do you have any suggestions/posts about boxed-in pipework running vertically on the exact join between two cabinets?

Most straight forward walk through I've seen! Thanks for creating this, I was able to pair it in less than a minute. The ikea manual is just pictures that don't explain anything 😂

I just installed one of these. I only have 2 units, a 60cm and a 40cm, but they sent me two 210cm kits which was completely overkill. I used less than half of one kit, so I'll take the other back to IKEA (if i can fit it in the car). On another note, my floor is ceramic tile on top of another layer of ceramic tile (then concrete screed) so drilling into that was a real headache. Tip for anyone in a similar situation: use a dedicated ceramic or porcelain drill bit (ideally with a diamond tip), use an SDS drill rather than a hand drill, don't use hammer action and use plenty of water to cool the surface as you go. Take your time too! I lost 2 days just installing these 2 cabinets, due to a melted bit which is now stuck in my floor forever. Thanks for all of these videos, Rannes. The advice you give is extremely useful.

How do you anchor the bottom of the upper cabinets to maintain plumb

hi have you ever cut the height of ikea plastic kickboards? no allowance was left for flooring.

Do you ever reinforce the backs of the cabinets they feel pretty flimsy

Watched many of your excellent videos. Doing my own ikea kitchen. I have a 90" cabinet to the right of the fridge and a soffit of 93.75-94'"(the bottom edge of the cabinet is not sitting next to other cabinets). I managed to get the cabinet up but what do you recommend for the legs? Ikea legs won't fit. Should I cut them down? It seems like a lot of weight for the metal supports alone. thanks

Rannes, thank you for being so generous with your time. I have learned so much from your shared experience & tribal knowledge.

Thank you. Just something I missed or don't understand. If the plinth is 11cm, will the 82 cm railing hight will be enough? This 82cm Hight is based on which plinth size!? Doesn't the plinth size affect where the rail should be attached?
