How many legs do I need per cabinet when installing my IKEA Kitchen?

Our base cabinets share legs as per our assembly instructions.

The number of legs per cabinet can vary by the shape and size.

  • Our L shaped base corner cabinet requires 6 legs.
  • Our high cabinets require 4 legs.
  • Our base cabinets only require 2 legs at the front of the cabinet. See instructions for more details.
  • Cabinets at the end of a row should have 3 legs for corner support.
    • For heavier countertops, you can install 4 legs per cabinet for added support.
