IKEA should install their plinths with the frames – our plinths will be 
applied over them.

IKEA legs should be fixed at 8cm height – if not, our side panels may 
not fit correctly. 

Similarly, where base cabinets are installed back-to-back to create an 
island, the spacers along the back of the frame should not be installed 
facing one another at the same height from the bottom of the cabinet. 
This will increase the spacing between the frames and may cause side 
panels to not fit correctly. Do not install back-to-back frames without 
spacers – this may result in side panels not fitting.
