Freestanding kitchen/beech worktop HELP !!

[davegriff2004]

Hope someone can help me.
My wife and I bought some freestanding units from Habitat along with a beech worktop in the sale.
We have had very bad experiences from carpenters, and have been let down so many times that we've now gone months without a worktop.
We have now decided, along with my Dad, to try and install them ourselves.
I've put all the units together, but I have no idea how to secure the worktop to the wall. Should I secure the worktop, or do I secure the units to the wall, then put the worktop onto the units and secure it that way ?
Any help would be hugely appreciated.

secure the units to the wall, then put the worktop onto the units and secure it that way ?

Yes but for extra strength put in approx 2"x1" at the back to give support to the worktop in between base units(do this first before worktop)
See this to help you further.What area are you from ? If you're near me I properly can help.

Its easy to fit a kitchen! Once you figure out one unit the rest is history!! I fitted my kitchen and Im a mere woman!! The cupboards can be fixed to the wall (Mine came with rightangled brackets for the base units)and the worktop can be attached to the cupboards with small right angled brackets. (Did they come with attachments or instructions?) Good luck!!
