I have a question... We basically have a small island in the kitchen. I would now like to install wall cabinets from the island up to the ceiling. One 40cm (16 inches) cabinet and one 60cm (24 inches) cabinet. Is this possible? Or do you have any tips? Thanks in advance.

The cabinet must have a gap because the ceiling will not be perfectly even. You could place two decorative strips between the cabinet and the ceiling. Additionally, something needs to be placed underneath to ensure the cabinet is level.
The load is carried by the cabinet’s side panels. To enable this, four metal brackets must be screwed into the upper corners of the cabinet. The cabinet can then be attached to the ceiling through these brackets and the top panel. Since the holes in the ceiling cannot be drilled with millimeter precision, the holes through the brackets and the cabinet top should be large enough to allow for proper alignment of the cabinet. It is also necessary to use a locking mechanism for the screws, as is included with the cabinets. When choosing the screws, make sure the screw head can bear the load. Another option would be to screw a threaded bolt into the wall plug and then secure the cabinet with nuts. I would recommend this option.
