Hello everyone,
I plan to install the baseboards for my IKEA Metod kitchen system. My main goal is to attach the baseboards cleanly and without major issues. My question is: What is the best way to mount the Metod baseboards to avoid unsightly gaps or loose fittings, and to ensure a secure attachment even on uneven floors? Are there any specific techniques or tools that have proven effective? I have some experience with DIY projects, but I really want to avoid mistakes with the baseboards because any imperfections are quickly noticeable. Thanks in advance for your tips!

How large should the distance from the edge be approximately to prevent splitting?A distance of 10 to 15 mm (about 0.4 to 0.6 inches) is ideal. The thicker the panel, the more stable the hold will be, of course, but with Metod the material isn’t very thick, so it’s better to plan conservatively.
Pro tip: Always use appropriate screws whose length does not penetrate the material too deeply to avoid cracking.
