The most important lesson I learned is that the ledger board rocks! It makes installation and leveling of the base cabinets so much easier.

HOWEVER, do NOT use the ledger board that Ikea provides. Use real ledger boards - at least 1 inch in depth - preferably 2 x 4s from, say, Lowes. It will provide that extra support you may need in the vent your walls are not in perfect alignment.

If you’re using the ledger board provided by IKEA as I did, definitely consider using legs in the back for extra support. The ledger board is really thin, and I was worried about the back cabinet somehow sliding off the board, for whatever reason.
