I am currently planning to install my IKEA Metod kitchen and am focusing on attaching the plinths (kickboards). Therefore, my question to the community is: How do I install the IKEA Metod plinths precisely so that they fit flush with the base cabinets and avoid visible gaps or instability? I am especially interested in tips for accurate measuring, alignment, as well as advice on possible fastening methods and tool use. Additionally, I would like to know the best way to compensate for uneven floors to ensure a clean finish of the plinths. I look forward to detailed advice and shared experiences to achieve a professional result.

The clips are usually attached to the base cabinets with screws. That’s correct. To install the baseboards perfectly, you should check the cabinets with a spirit level beforehand and adjust them if necessary. - Measure and mark the clip positions precisely to keep them all at the same height. - To compensate for minor floor unevenness, it’s recommended to place shims or similar material under the baseboards before clipping them in.
Also: When joining corners, make sure to cut clean miters; otherwise, it will look visually unprofessional. If you’re interested, I can provide some tips on the best methods for inside and outside corners.
