Re: ikea kitchen Base cabinet using plywood

Hi and welcome to IKEAFANs

I haven't heard of a single person here making their own cabinet boxes out of plywood - the IKEA cabinets are quite sturdy ... you'll see LOTs and LOTs of kitchens here with the standard IKEA cabinet frames - installed with the plastic legs ... with granite, concrete and other stone countertops - e.g. soapstone (which is what I have in my kitchen)

You don't need plywood!

I love the linjar blue cabinets ... they're stunning and a fabulous value at 50% off. Please let us know how your kitchen is taking shape and be sure to post some photos ... we love photos!

Doreen
