I'm anticipating installing new kitchen units in the foreseeable future.
Some years ago I fitted the kitchen in the property where I currently live and I encountered a problem which I want to learn from for this occasion.
The 600mm larder unit arrived ready to fit only requiring the plastic legs to be screwed in place with diddy little wood screws.
I laid the unit horizontal on trestles to fit the legs, but then because I was working alone I couldn't find a way to get the unit vertical onto its feet without 2 of the feet meeting the floor at an angle which in the attempt snapped the 2 legs off damaging them in the process. I then had to construct a box to stand the unit on to replace the legs.
In the absence of having 2 people to lift the unit is there an accepted way to tackle or is it just a case of choosing flat pack and constructing it from the ground up?
