Hello
I am planning a kitchen unit with 3 base cabinets (each 60cm (24 inches) wide). Usually, each cabinet stands on 4 Metod plastic legs (= 12 in total). According to the instructions, it is also possible to place the legs at the junction between two cabinets, which would reduce the total number of legs by 4.
Has anyone tried this before? Does this method work well in practice, and is it stable enough? Any disadvantages? More hassle? I assume assembly would then only be possible with two people?
Regards
Tobi

I once solved this by anchoring a wooden batten to the wall at the bottom, only 15 or 20 mm (0.6 or 0.8 inches) wide. The tall cabinet was placed with its back edge on this and then screwed at the top. This way, the weight is securely supported, and depending on the installation situation, the strip is probably not visible.
