ᐅ Is it possible to use Ikea Capita legs with a baseboard?

Hello everyone,
my kitchen has been in use for months now. I treated myself to a large island and had a 3cm (1¼ inch) stone countertop made by the stonemason. To ensure everything is stable, I thought – I’ll use Capita legs and that should hold everything securely. So, each cabinet received three Capita legs per side.

So far, so good!

Now I wanted to attach the kickboards. Oh, the Capita legs are thinner than the original plastic feet. Because of this, I can’t properly clip the kickboards in place. There is a play of about 6-7mm (¼ to ¼ inch) and they wobble, which makes it almost impossible for the corners to align perfectly.
It’s important to note that I cannot move or disassemble the island, so I need a solution I can apply while it’s still installed.

I’ve seen suggestions like “glue it with silicone,” but the bonding surface is: 1. too small, and 2. I might want to access underneath again (underfloor heating, electrical cables, etc.).

Has anyone found a suitable solution for this?

Regards, Manfred

Pin a flat rubber band between the clip and the base?

Hello,
just use the standard plastic feet as well (they don’t cost much). You can screw them in very tightly right next to the frame and clip the baseboards onto them. I removed the plastic bumps on the panel with a saw.
I’ve done this with some of my base cabinets too.

P.S. About 18 months ago, the Metod legs (set of 4) cost 5 euros, now 7 euros—that’s a 40 percent increase. Hello Ikea... really?

I got the baseboards at the salvage yard for 40 cents per foot (approx. 30 centimeters). So definitely check there first.

i did this with some of my lower cabinets too.

For stability reasons, I mounted the metal feet where the plastic feet would normally go, so I can’t just push them in there. I would have to cut the tops off the legs and glue them on. That’s too complicated for me.

Clamp a flat rubber strip between the clip and the foot?

My wife just had a similar idea. We have thin rigid foam boards at home. I cut them into rectangles, heat them in the oven until they become SOFT, wrap them around a "sample foot," and then I basically have an "open" tube that I can clip around the legs. It has the perfect thickness to hold everything firmly while still being easy to remove.
Ta-da!
