Morning,
Going to be starting a kitchen Reno in the next few weeks. What is the best way to secure your kaboodle kitchen island to the floor?
Solved! See most helpful response
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Lawrie. It's fantastic to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about installing a Kaboodle island.
If your island is created from more than one cabinet, you'll be screwing them together in all four corners of the side panels with 28mm screws. To secure the island to the floor, you can install timber runners onto the floor. Depending on the floor type, the fixing method will differ. For a concrete slab, countersunk Dynabolts would be used. You can then screw through the bottom of the cabinets directly into the timber. I've created a rendering below that hopefully should help illustrate.
Alternatively, you could screw the feet down to the ground, but the timber runners would be more secure.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Yea brilliant mate I was thinking of something along those lines. Appreciate the feedback.

Hi Mitchell,
what about the kitchen island with black plastic legs at the bottom? Kindly advise.
Hello @Amirjonak
The same technique applies, just keep in mind that the Kaboodle kickboard is 140mm high and must have this space underneath the Kaboodle cabinet so that it fits properly. The timber you'll be using on the floor must be at least the same height as the kickboard. The black plastic legs are adjustable, and I recommend leaving them in place.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hi Eric,
Thanks for your kind and quick reply. Can you please share a video link here as well?
I would appreciate it.

Hello @Amirjonak
The only video guides I can show you are the cabinet assembly and how island cabinets are brought together. By watching these guides you'll get a good idea of how the cabinets are set up and where you can place the timber underneath the cabinetry.
Here are some handy step-by-step guides:
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
