I have a small sectiongas pipe exposed and it extends from the kitchen going thru the wall,into the laundry room next room. It is 2 feet long, 6'' tall from the floor, and 2 1/2" away from the wall.If Iinstall thebase cabinets there and use 6" tall legs for all my base cabinets, will Ineed to trim the base ofone or twocabinets a little in order to pushagainst the walland stand rightabove the gas pipe? How thick is the base board of base caninets?

The 6 inch legs will make your countertop a bit too high, around 37-38 inches instead of the standard 36. I wouldn't recommend it, but some people (very tall people, usually) prefer their countertops a bit higher than standard.

If I were you, I would first consult with a plumber as to the possibility of re-routing the pipe, but if that doesn't work you would probably have to reconfigure the cabinet to raise the floor of it by a couple of inches. It would mean drilling a couple of holes for the cam-lock system, but it isn't too difficult a modification.

Eva, thanks for the suggestion.

What length legs would you recommend for base cabinets in general, since base cabinet hightis normally 30".

If the countertop is 2" thick, that would mean I should get a 3" tall legs for the base cabinets, correct?

The 4 inch legs would give you a standard countertop height. The plastic legs that come with the AKURUM cabinets are 4 inches and are adjustable about an inch or so.

30 inch cabinet plus 4 inch leg plus 2 inch countertop equals 36 to top of counter.

	Akurum definition Akurum is the North American equivalent of FAKTUM; that is the fitted, frameless, component kitchen cabinet line, which when paired with door and drawer fronts as well as interior accessories makes up the full kitchen cabinet system.

I'm not sure I can "see" the situation, but I would consider routing a path for the pipe through the back of the cabinets, like I have done for vent stacks or electrical conduit.

I am considering raising the feet the full height just to get them a little taller - I like taller cabinets.
