ᐅ Ikea Metod Base Cabinets Without a Kickboard?

I have the problem that the base cabinets, which are usually attached to the wall with a metal bracket and stand on feet at the front, do not fit. The area where the wall bracket would normally go is exactly at the edge of the tiled backsplash.

My question is whether the cabinets can also stand on their four feet and be screwed together instead?

Take a look here, there are answers to that question:

I don’t have the Metod, but I have the Faktum since 2003... the base cabinets themselves are only screwed to the countertop and connected to each other with 2 or 3 screws – that holds (even my son can’t push them aside!).

The wall cabinets hang the same way for us – screwed together and attached to the wall with only 2 screws without a separate rail.

The wall rail is overrated. I would never use it. It only makes sense if you have an absolutely straight, flat wall—and in 98% of cases, you don’t.
