Hello,
I have purchased an IKEA kitchen island, which consists of two Metod base cabinets on one side and several Metod wall cabinets on the other side.
The question is, how can I attach the cabinets back to back?
Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards, Andreas

There was an installation kit for kitchen islands.

You should check with IKEA to see whether it has simply been removed from the website or discontinued.

Thank you very much for your reply.
I will inquire about that. The installation kit would be very useful.

Wouldn't it be possible to use flat connectors from the inside? At the points where the cabinets would normally be screwed to the wall. It should actually work, right? We have also planned an island and thought this shouldn’t be an issue.

I went to IKEA again. The assembly kit used to be available. It was actually relaunched recently.
But production was stopped again. For whatever reason. The employee didn’t know either.
After searching for a while, she was able to find me an instruction manual showing how the cabinets can be screwed together using the mounting brackets. For this, the brackets need to be installed slightly further in, with the hole depth adjusted.
Now it worked.

Couldn’t this just be done from the inside using flat brackets? At the spots where you would normally screw the cabinets to the wall. It should actually work, right? We also planned an island and thought that shouldn’t be a problem.

Yes, that should work as well. You just have to buy the flat brackets separately, for example at the hardware store, right?
