How to join cabinetry for an island bench

Three cabinet units joined together

Overview

An island bench is a great way to create more storage and workspace in your kitchen. You can make one simply by joining three cabinets together. We'll show you how to level your cabinets up and screw them together.

Steps

1Screw the cabinets together for an island bench

Put the cabinets in position and set the height of the legs to 145mm. Check the cabinets are all sitting level with your spirit level and adjust the legs accordingly. Now clamp the cabinets together and pre-drill some pilot holes through the sides. Finish the job by screwing the cabinets together with 28mm screws.
