You\u2019ve spent weeks searching and researching for the best cabinets. You\u2019ve gone to a dozen stores and countless websites and finally decided on ready to assemble kitchen cabinets. You ordered online and now sitting before you are box upon box of cabinet pieces that you need to put together. Suddenly, your hands become clammy and you begin to swear as you think about how you\u2019re going to put this together. At first glance, it seems like a daunting task, but it\u2019s designed to be as easy as possible. We know you\u2019re not a professional carpenter, so we\u2019ve made the process straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first thing you need is a large clear area to work in. There\u2019s going to be a lot of wood and screws and you\u2019ll need room to move. Some people like working on carpeted floor because it\u2019s easier to move the cabinets around and not worry about scratching them. You can also work on a table, so there\u2019s a nice elevated surface. It\u2019s also more comfortable to sit on a chair than the floor. You may think you need an entire tool chest full of tools in order to put your new cabinets together, but we\u2019ve designed our cabinets<\/a> to use just a Phillips-head screwdriver and a rubber mallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once your area is all set, it\u2019s time to remove all the contents from the boxes and organize them into their respective cabinet parts. Be sure to keep all the screws, brackets, etc. together, so you have easy access to them when needed. It\u2019s usually standard to start with the door and then the sides, leaving the bottom of the cabinets for last. If there are areas that link together via a dovetail connection, then use the rubber mallet to put them in place. Do not use a hammer or other metal as it may scratch the surface. Once the cabinets are together, it\u2019s time to put them on the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before doing anything with the cabinets, you need to measure and re-measure the area to make sure everything it going to fit. You might also want to mark where each cabinet goes. Be very careful when installing the cabinets on the walls. Each cabinet installation is different, based on the type of cabinets, size, etc. It\u2019s a good idea to use an electric drill to create the screw holes before trying to install the cabinets. This makes it much easier for the screw to go into the wall and it lessens the likelihood of crooked entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAssembly Is Required<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
