IKEA Cabinet Construction

So we purchased all of the cabinets and started assembling them before ripping out the rest of the kitchen. The plan is to have all of them assembled, complete demo one day, and install the cabinets, countertop and sink the next day so we are only without a kitchen for about one day!

The first IKEA box was the most difficult to assemble with all of the drawers. IKEA's pictograms are great, but they would be even better if there were just a few words to help guide you. Some of the pictograms have such small details that if you didn't know you need to pay close attention, it is easy to miss. The first box took about two hours to put together, and after we figured out the small details, they went together in about a half hour with the both of us.
