Faktum/Akurum Leg Installation?

Which screws am I using to attach the legs? The screws that came with the cabinet are too long to screw through the bottom of the base cabinet...What am I doing wrong????

Re: Faktum/Akurum Leg Installation?

No screws come with the legs, you have to buy them separately. IIRC , 5/8" is a good size.

They only hold the leg in place while moving the cabinet and are not required (but make it easier when you are moving the cabinets by yourself, it's easy for a leg to fall out, especially if you have to slide the cabinet a little).

Hello Liamclareowen, welcome to IKEAfans!

Reefer is absolutely correct. I just wanted to add a link to an article I posted with pictures of attaching the legs. I hope it's helpful to you and/or anyone else looking for Leg help.
