    Curious if anyone else has experience with putting cabinets on legs? I’m considering 31″ cabinets, no toekicks, and then installing on metal legs with a height range of 4-5″. I live in a rural area with a serious rodent situation, and the kitchen I tore out was a mess of nests under each cabinet. This ensures no homes for mice, and the new cabinets will be easily leveled in my old house.

    Sure, We actually offer a set of adjustable leveling legs that serve as the cabinet support structure. They also include clips for attaching the toe kick, making the toe kick easily removable so you can access underneath the cabinets for cleaning or maintenance.

    Here’s a video from a past project where I used these leveling feet:

    Another popular option is to build and level your own support platform (or ladder base) first, then install the cabinets on top of it. This is a simple and effective method because you only have to level the support structure once, rather than shimming each individual cabinet. It also provides excellent support and makes cabinet installation much faster.
