IKEA Kitchen Island DIY: How to Build a Double Row IKEA Kitchen Island

IKEA Kitchen Island DIY: How to Build a Double Row IKEA Kitchen Island
Watched many of your excellent videos. Doing my own ikea kitchen. I have a 90" cabinet to the right of the fridge and a soffit of 93.75-94'"(the bottom edge of the cabinet is not sitting next to other cabinets). I managed to get the cabinet up but what do you recommend for the legs? Ikea legs won't fit. Should I cut them down? It seems like a lot of weight for the metal supports alone. thanks
Hi Barbara. Thank you for your support to my channel. I appreciate it very much. So, your pantry. A clarifying question. Is it sitting lower than usual because of the soffit on top? In anyway, it need legs. Hanging on the rail only isn't sufficient. Yes, you can cut the Ikea legs shorter. I've done that before. I used a regular hacksaw.
Rannes, thank you for being so generous with your time. I have learned so much from your shared experience & tribal knowledge.
Thank you. Just something I missed or don't understand. If the plinth is 11cm, will the 82 cm railing hight will be enough? This 82cm Hight is based on which plinth size!? Doesn't the plinth size affect where the rail should be attached?
@@b.a.b7834 You're welcome. Those centimetres always confuse me as I work in inches, but check this video, and the guide on my website mentioned in the video description. ruclips.net/video/BixkS8JM3lE/видео.html
It looks like you did not screw every 12 inches. Do you find that it is unnecessary?
True. Most houses in Canada have stud walls with 16" on center, making it impossible to aim for a screw every 12". So far they are all (265+) hanging 🙏
this kit takes away any possibility to change the height after installation,. Not that you should change it afterwards but still... More importantly: I have the induction cooking plate with the integrated ventilation (which comes out at the bottom). This will NOT work with the frame. Be aware of that!
Good point with the appliance. Thanks for sharing 🙏 Regarding height adjustments. I think you still can do that but not as easily as with the old island brackets.
I have one sitting in my garage, but I won't be using it for another few months as the house it is going in is under construction. I wasn't going to use the old style, but this looks actually useful. I was going to build a plinth that was basically exactly this, but out of plywood. Level that, attach it to the floor, then put the cabinets on top of it. My island is not fully rectangular, it's two 36" full depth cabinets on one side, a 15" facing the end that is custom cut to 18" deep, with a waterfall edge on the other end. Seating for two in-between. Using one of the 42x74 laminate island tops. I will be very curious to see your video, I can always return it and go back to my original plan if it looks less useful than I think it will be. I am having a LOT of fun with this kitchen - I just built a trash cabinet with the electric opener and a custom insert to hold the trash and recycling bins, and a custom-topped Utrusta pullout work surface above them. It has a removable plug so you can sweep cuttings straight down into the waste bin. Also working on a 6" lower cabinet with a slideout holder for a stepladder, and another custom 18" pullout work surface in the tall pantry cabinet. Good times!
I tried both methods. Level and the frame before or after the cabinets goes in. I installed it on plywood subfloor both times so I could reach in and secure the brackets to the floor with cabinets in place. With tiles, not possible. When I leveled the frame before the cabinets went on top, the frame was skewed, which made it difficult.
I hope you finish at least one video with it, because I have to install it. The thing is that I have an island-ish, I have a peninsula, a "L" shape, and only the short part is on the wall (2 cabinets) and 3 cabinets are not on the rail. I hope you have to say something about this. Thanks anyway for all your videos ❤
Don't get your hopes up too fast, as I'm off for the next 3 weeks 😊 Travelling in Europe 🌍
I hate it!! I have (last two weeks) installed it for a peninsula. Why don't I like it? 1. IKEA assumes you have a flat floor. Mine varied by over 1.5cm in various places - over the length of the peninsula. I found it impossible to get the fame under the cabinets and raise it using the instructions, ie via the screw feet at each end. To solve I shimmed the frame in various spots using plastic window/door frame spacers until the frame touched the underside of the all the cabinets. Then I added one screw to each floor bracket at each end of the frame. Then I secured each cabinet onto the frame using four screws into the cabinet base. I did not put the screws through the base sides of the cabinet vertical panels - as per the instructions - as I can see no point in doing this. Then I went back and put the remaining screws in the floor brackets including the middle brackets. So for me the levelling of the frame is not optimal. 2. IKEA assume you place the frame on the floor, get it level then add your cabinets on top. If your space is limited moving a long frame around isn't easy. If like me you screwed the cabinets together ( all nice and square) before putting the frame under the cabinets you need a lot of free space to slide the frame under. Again in a small kitchen this may not be feasible and you might have to undo the cabinets and remove them to get the frame in place. 3. There are hundreds of holes in the frame just so you can cut it and screw the end pieces on using the most appropriate/ nearest hole. This can mean it's tricky placing the floor brackets in a good place so that the screw holes for the brackets don't align with the bigger pre drilled holes - because then the screws don't fit. 4. The holes in the frame provide a weakness when screwing down the cabinet. You can feel the screws falling through these holes if you are unlucky enough to pick a spot where these holes are when you screw the cabinet down. 5. The previous system seemed much easier/flexible as you could place the floor blocks where best suited to the situation and were easy to align up/down The "only" benefit I can see for this new concept is you don't need a right angle screwdriver attachment as the frame is placed along the cabinet length. 6. For my installation the peninsula is attached to a corner cabinet ( the cabinet with the carousel/ Lazy Susan, not the bi-fold doors - see I do listen to you! 🙂). Reaching under the corner cabinet to screw the frame to the floor brackets is a stretch, if like me , you placed the frame in the middle of the base of the cabinet - if I had made the frame longer ie further into the cabinet i don't think i could reach it. IKEA want me to put the frame down before the cabinets but for my build this wasn't feasible due to the need to build/hang/place the cabinets and align then to avoid various obstacles. Next up is adding the cover panel to the back of the cabinets. IKEA changed this too. From something simple, two horizontal MDF bars fitted via brackets to each cabinet, to one flimsy timber bar at the top and metal right angle brackets that each have to be attached to the panel before jamming the lip of the bracket into the slot for the backboard. This isn't good for me at all. I ended up buying my own pieces of moisture resistant MDF and cut them to form bars that fit into the cabinet back panel and with my own brackets I fitted the back cover panel via the previous method. In other words buy/make the components that IKEA previously supplied as the new method is just terrible IMHO. To me IKEA changed something that was o.k. to something that is worse. But maybe I did it wrong/badly and there are better ways. I have certainly learned a lot from you Lars, so I'm curious as to your experience.
Thanks for your thoughts 🤔 I'll add my experience to the video I'll be making but my conclusion will line up with yours. A few comments. First, I did a double-row island. That didn't go so well. The floor anchoring was somewhat fine but the part where you connect the two rows at the top. It was not great at all as the two rows had cabinets of different widths, so nothing was sturdy. Very difficult to achieve a decent result. The single row I did last week was a lot better. I had plenty of room to slide in the frame, and by using a 90-degree attachment to my power drill, it went better than expected. I haven't put on the panels yet, so the small clips for that are still in the bag. The client needs to have flooring done before I get to do that.
@@kitchensbyrannes For my situation I struggle to see how this new design is a step forward, for either IKEA or the user. For one thing there is more timber being used/wasted ( what do you do with the excess wood you cut off if the row is shorter than the frame? , either trash or burn it?), the previous method had no waste wood. I only had a single row. For a double row I can see from the instructions the frame is shared across both rows. For me I would think it would be better to have two separate frames one for each row. In the UK a frame is £40 - so that's an expensive addition. The outcome is certainly less satisfactory than the previous design.
I agree....with everything. Og well, sometimes progression is a step back 🤔
I would not have done it that way. Install the base fixture FIRST, get it leveled up properly and attached to the floor, then put the cabinets on top. They can't be anything but level at that point. THEN screw them together and to the fixture. A double-row island is going to need two of these - no way would I try to just run it down the middle. This thing is going to be FAR easier to level than a bunch of screwed-together cabinets are. The old fixture does NOTHING but hold the island to the floor, it is no help in leveling them. I can't see this as anything but a huge improvement. Though entirely possible that making your own base for the island and installing it the same way is better than either of IKEA's methods, but they can't just deliver that. IKEA's rail system is brilliant, but that doesn't work for an island. Though I suppose on a double row island maybe using this for the first row and a suspension rail for the second row attached to the first row might actually be a not bad way to go. Then you only have to level the second row in ONE plane, not two. I don't like either method for attaching panels. IMHO the right way to do it is to replace the flimsy cabinet back that IKEA provides with rabbeted 1/2" plywood, and attach the panels to that. Takes 5 minutes to make a plywood back panel with a table saw and a dado blade or in my case a track saw and a router. But again, IKEA can't provide that. I think your method is pretty good too - if I didn't have a well-equipped shop that is probably how I would do it too. I agree, I don't like the idea of those clips, seems inevitable that the panels would end up a bit floppy.
@kevinrhodes335 New products, new ways. I'm thankful that you're sharing your thoughts on the process too. 🙏
What is the solution when you are hanging the cabinets on the wall and mounting them underneath? Trying to notch the back and running them straight up doesn't work because the rail is continuous from left to right. Any ideas or assistance would be much appreciated.
"Running them"....wires? Normally I run the wires into the wall and down under the base cabinets but if I must run them up, I make a small notch at the top, at the back. There's about ½" to the back panel.
Mister only down side of this channel are measurements,they are in inches. All other great info, cheers from Croatia.
Croatian people are clever, you'll figure it out 😀 The thing is, I'm in Canada and here, everything in construction is in inches, so when I work, inches, so what I can put in videos...inches. The METOD (EU) kitchen system is different than SEKTION (America) so I can only show what I do. For rails, check this though: ruclips.net/video/BixkS8JM3lE/видео.htmlsi=K3GZgXqwpTa1sRum
@@kitchensbyrannes ok, I get it, I know about American measures and hate them, I'm not that interested in IKEA, just like to watch installation of kitchens and you do it right, want to learn something from it.
Keep watching 😀
These holes were very hard to align with all the moving parts. Plus the second board had smaller holes for some reason. But now everything moves freely so I guess I did them right.
Yay 🙌 If it slides freely, you did well 👌
My panels did not come with the mdf strips

Are you danish Rannes?
Ja da, 100% jysk 👌
Thanks for replying to my comment. I thought I had deleted it. Yes. I am unable to remove the skirting board, so I cut 1.5 cms of the bottom part of side panels and secured it with a piece of melamine as backing of 15 cms. to retain the strength of the cabinet and kept rest of mdf backing in the groove. It worked out to be OK.
Great 👍 Feel free to share what you did with fellow DIYs. Your solution to this common problem may be useful to others. kitchensbyrannes.com/share/
whatever ikea is paying you, they should be paying you more. thanks for the video.
@AidanSkoyles you're very welcome. Paying...? 🤔 Ikea pays me nothing. Instead, I encourage my viewers to support the channel. Some do, and most do not. C'est la vie.
Thank you very much for this, and all your IKEA videos! The timing of this post is perfect! This is the last thing I need to do after my sister and I have assembled and installed a 17 cabinet kitchen, mostly on our own. This was possible because of your instructional videos. They are THE best out there!! I will be heading to your channel to show my appreciation! Thank you for taking the time to create these for us DIYers! ❤
You're very welcome. Almost there then 👍
Thanks Rannes, your videos were a tremendous help with our kitchen setup. We just went through this setup following your first video and also added the smart hub with a shortcut button. The name of the dimmer remote is called RODRET "Wireless dimmer/power switch, smart white". If you want to add your Mittled to your smart home (Apple Homekit, Amazon, Google) the hub is called DIRIGERA "Hub for smart products, white smart". If you add DIRIGERA you can use the shortcut button for themes which is called SOMRIG "Shortcut button, white smart". With this one button you can add multiple themes like "cooking", "night light", "100% brightness", "all off".
thanks for your videos! Question really...do the Mittled under cabinet lights have to be connected to a remote or can they be hooked up to a dedicated receptacle controlled by a switch and not dimmable?
You're welcome. You can do both, or either. Many of my clients have the lights connected to a receptacle placed under the cabinets, behind the toekick, but still running through a regular light switch. That way they can turn the lights on/off on the switch, and dim on the remote. Naturally, the lights can not be turned on when the switch is off.
Great video and explanation. Do you find the backing mdf to be a bit thin and flimsy? Is there a way to strengthen it? Can I use a thicker mdf or melamine back?
Thanks. Nope, flimsy will do it. Don't spend energy on it 🤗
Would you recommend using glue for dowels and edges to increase overall strength of the cabinet?
Short answer: no, not necessary.
Thank you very much. Its really clear after seeing.
You're welcome 🤗
If you are assembling or install yourself, make sure to check that the cabinets are square (either using a square ruler or measure the distance between 2 opposite corners) before hammer the nails in. We just assembled our cabinets just to find out they are not 100% square, 1 or 2 mm out. This can cause a bit of trouble once hanging the cabinets together. So remember to make sure it is square, take your time, don't rush. Hope that helps. Rannes videos are helpful, he makes it look effortless. In fact, it does take a bit of effort if you haven't done it before.
Important points 👌 I normally use the back panel as a square. If you push and hold it into a corner while putting in the first three nails, it'll be adequate. In general I find the cabinets to be a bit soft, and in particular the base cabinets.
Great video, thank you Rannes!
My pleasure!
Awesome thank you the information is user friendly.
Thanks. I'm glad you like it 😊
Brilliant video!! Always do informative and well thought out and explained!!
Much appreciated! 😊🙏
So, front legs FIRST, then tie together cabinets second, then 100% level all cabinets , and the last step is just to put the rear legs and just make them have contact the ground to avoid messing up your previous level ?
Yes, but before that, put in the grey lock nut at the bracket/rail.
Thank you for this! found the video at the crucial moment of hesitating between two kinds of corner cabinets and not knowing how to make a judgement. You provided all the answers!
You're very welcome.
fantastic video again! Thanks for the heads up for the new floor anchoring and connector rail kit. Have you used the new kit and do you find it more intuitive? I'm installing my island right next to a wall - would you recommend leaving a small gap to the wall or attach it as closely as possible?
Thanks, again 🙏 I've used the new island kit once, for a double-row island. Didn't like it that much but maybe I will after a few more. If you leave a gap to the wall, it's an island, if you don't, it's a peninsula 🤣 No preference regarding installation.
Wish my problem was dishwasher was 30” tall. My measurements from tile to bottom of countertop is 33 1/4. And all dishwashers these days lowest measurements are 33 1/2 or 33 5/8. I have much bigger problem than you
What if you remove the feet on the dishwasher?
such a great video again! I also wondered: will the quartz not be lifted by those metal rails and screws reducing the contact with the cabinet ?
Thanks. No. The quartz countertop will rest on the metal rails going across and then be secured with silicone from below.
@@kitchensbyrannes I was wondering how strong these metal rails could be 😳 But I’m sure ikea has done lots of research one this 😜
Don't count on that 🤣 Ikea has a bracket (Fixa) for that purpose.
how would you check theh level for the upper cabinets? since they're so close to the ceiling that we can't use this great technique ? I assume you have to make sure your rail on the top is perfectly leveled and then they will hang leveled automatically?
Just use a spirit level on the front and check that it is vertical 👍
such amaing content. Thank you so much! You've inspired me to try to install our own ikea kitchen... it's a straight line, no corners but I'm sure there will be complications :P How to I start my first cabinet if it's a free standing dishwasher, do I just use a panel on the right wall , put the dishwasher in and then next to it on the left sink cabinets... IKEA does have dishwasher cabinets but integrated... mine would just slide in so no cabinet really but something would still need to support the quartz countertop on the right side of the dishwasher which is just wall :O Thanks so much for your input!
Thanks. You don't start with the dishwasher./panel, that's the last one to do. Start at the other end 😀
You seem very methodical, so I am sure there is an answer for this - but why do you nail in the back of each cabinet by hand? I'm surprised you don't use a brad nailer instead. Is using a brad nailer a bad idea? Thanks for your videos, I'm learning a ton!
I cannot come up with one good reason to use a nailer honestly, besides saving half a minute. A small hammer is cheap to buy, doesn't require batteries, and doesn't take up much space in my tool bag.
👍
👍👍
do you have a video showing how you're cutting the actual panel in detail with your usual great explanations?
Not yet! Sorry. Maybe one day ☺️🤗
These videos give me so much confidence to try to tackle my ikea kitchen myself.... I only have a straight 115 inch line, no corners etc... so hopefully with your expertise videos I can do it! :) if I don't add a pantry cabinet I could follow the 32 3/16 instruction though right? Because my upper cabinets will be installed below a bulkhead so I can't use the ceiling as my measuring point
Of course you can do it 😁 Yes, nothing complicated. 32 3/16" if your floor is in already 👍 Check this too ruclips.net/video/Q-wMScq6S94/видео.htmlsi=QvJ236VT49ZMkXA4
I would advise to consider buying a permanent pen. Easier/quicker than using the masking tape in my experience. Especially since you buy new templates anyway. Thanks for the video content anyway! Or whiteboard pen to reuse the template.
Great tip! Thanks. I don't use the jig from Ikea anymore and hasn't for a while. Now I use one of the more professional solutions, like this one: amzn.to/4dLHtRE (aff. link)
@@kitchensbyrannes Wow, ok that device looks pretty nice!
Is there a link to a video how to install the corner cabinet light? Can these lights be hard wired? Is there a way to connect these lights at an angle(for corber cabinet)?
No video showing that yet. The lights for the 45-degree corner are just two 15" Mittled, sitting at the end of the light(s) under the adjacent cabinet(s). The lights are 24 volts, so they are powered by the Trådløs power supply, which isn't approved to be hardwired. In other words, if you cut the plug off, it isn't to code (in Ontario, Canada), but I see electricians do it nevertheless.
I went crazy with the lights, I added lights to pretty much every single bottom cabinet, even in the corner cabinets with the carousels. I also added the glass on the sides on all my drawers. I did pay an electrician to add 2 outlets to connect the bottom cabinets and the lights under the upper cabinets. I end up spending way more than I wanted, but it didn't feel that way because it took me over a year to get all the cabinets, but it is finally completed. About the extra stuff: I have been buying things like the drawer liners, utensils organizers, and even the little white plugs for the holes in the cabinets. I love my kitchen though. Thank you for the videos!
You're very welcome. Thanks for sharing your kitchen adventures ☺️
Why Ikea puts 6/8, it is 3/4, elementary maths?
Yes, it's basic math but the measurements were most likely added by a metric person. He/she isn't wrong, but it's good practice to reduce fractions. You wouldn't see 21/28 either 🤔
We are looking at renovating the kitchen in about a year. These tips are good to considerate when we are starting. Have already designed the kitchen at IKEA and ended up with a price of 8k Euro similar size to the one you made. that includes benchtop, fridge and dishwasher. I added mostly bottom drawers as they are most practical and right now the kitchen we have is really unpractial and missing so much storage. I think in general opting for an IKEA kitchen, but maybe splurging on a better benchtop is the best sollution. We have an granite top today and its so practical as it is heat and scratch resistant. If we can I would like to buy an granite top myself.
@@rab6121 Thank you for your input. I agree with you regarding the countertop, or benchtop as you call it in Europe. Granite or quartz are superior to laminate when it comes to durability in my opinion.
Thanks so much for all these videos Rannes, they've helped my Ikea kitchen self-install massively. The only issue I have is having to convert inches to metric! We stopped using imperial quite a while back here in Ireland (thank you EU standardisation), so well done to you for being able to adapt to an archaic system of measurement when you moved to North America😆!
It wasn't easy, still in therapy 🤣
Just discovered this channel, planning to make DIY kitchen so will watch all videos.
Hope you enjoy!
Last time I checked the Voxtorp fronts are more than double in the US than the price in Canada... :-/
Wow...you're right. I didn't know. Your comment made me check two doors, Voxtorp and Askersund, and they are close to THREE TIMES more expensive than in Canada. I wonder how that can be 🤔 Maybe a combination of greed, opportunity and import tax. That is unbelievably expensive.
Good tips! Personally, I installed all drawers (where I could) and upper cabinets which open to the top. I did this because this will be the best for functionality and comfort. Money saving is a good idea. But do you want to use your kitchen for years and be reminded all the time that if you would have spent a little more than the functionality would be so much better? About all those little accessories: Until now I only bought a few of them like for cutlery. I guess over time I will buy some more accessories. The good thing is that they can easily be added later when we really need them. It is not necessary to buy them together with the cabinets in one go.
Thank you for your input, which is always appreciated ☺️
@@kitchensbyrannes We are almost at the other side of the world. I just woke up in Bangkok and see your video from "yesterday", I guess you will go to bed sometime soon.
@edgar9651 Yes, within long 💤
Do you have any tips on setting the proper height for the legs at the back of base cabinets in a galley kitchen layout, where hands can’t easily reach?
For a regular depth cabinet, you just lay on the floor and reach in. For the 38x38" (88x88 cm), check this: ruclips.net/video/1scxJS1P-NY/видео.htmlsi=2462KOBPEI2CVBDb
@@kitchensbyrannes Thanks very much for the info. I didn't think of using a trench for the task.
You're welcome 🤗
Great video. Simple and easy. Quick question, I did not find the lower brackets like you put in this video for the island. Do I have to buy them seperately? What is the part number? Mine came with only the top two brackets.
Thanks. Ikea recently discontinued the island support brackets shown in the video. The new one: www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/sektion-floor-anchoring-frame-f-ktchn-islnd-10557036/ I haven't made a video on the new one yet, so you'll have to consult the instructions from Ikea
Edit: I was too stupid to plug it in right - it does work after all in the US just like in Canada: one has to use the round ends of the Ansluta extension cord to parallel connect the next. To me, the connection looked blocked off with white lids on the Trådfri, but these move back when inserting connector cable. I love your videos. Thanks for making these! I just went to Ikea in FL yesterday and bought a lot of these products. FYI The Trådfri power drivers here no longer come with the ability to plug in another one - the second port is simply sealed off. As a result, each Trådfri need their own receptacle plugged cable.
Glad you like them! But.....whaaattttt..... maybe in the US only 🤔 I hope so. Maybe they had a case where someone hooked up a lot more than the first power cable in line can handle in terms of amps. Absolutely possible.
@@kitchensbyrannes Thanks. It turns out I was wrong. I have made an edit to my post above to rectify. Sorry for the confusion.
Thanks for clarifying 😊
Hi Rannes, thank you for the educational video! I'm redoing the kitchen in my Copenhagen apartment but I need a vent hood without a motor which is suitable for a central ventilation system. Do you have any recommendation? I would be getting the Metod cabinet and would like something like the 'Underverk' hood from Ikea ideally. I learned from your video that hoods come with a filler piece as I was stuck trying to find a hood matching exactly the cabinet side before :-) Thanks again!
Glad it was helpful! Snakker vi dansk så? If Ikea has a hood you like, how about removing the motor and use it as a hood/funnel only?
@@kitchensbyrannes ja det kan vi godt! Det har jeg tænkt over, men jeg ved ikke om ikea emhætterne lukker hullet i røret når det ikke er i brug?
Den emhætte du overvejer, "underverk" kommer med 2 flapper som forhindrer nedslag af luft udefra, men hvis der ikke er en motor til at skabe udluftning, vil de næppe virke som de skal. Hvorfor kan du ikke bruge en med motor da den jo "skubber" luften op i ventilationssystemet? I virkeligheden skaber den jo et lille vacuum på undersiden som starter en luftgennemstrømning. Mon ikke en vvs'er bør ind over?
@@kitchensbyrannes i min bygning er der central ventilation, hvis man tilslutter sin egen motor til den er der risiko for at det forstyrrer luftstrømmen i de andre lejligheder (f.eks. skubber snavset luft ud i andre lejligheder). Jeg vil tage en snak med en butik, hvor de sælger emhætter :)
Ah ja. Du må hellere spørge. En mulighed er at spørge naboerne.
