Well, the cabinets are almost there. Late last week the missing cabinet (over the sink) was installed and they were all attached to each other. The doors should be installed early this week, meaning I can finally clear stuff off my dining room table and start to put everything back into it's place. I guess Ikea doesn't keep every style of door in stock - you can get any of several styles for each finish. I did have some basics on the shelves since Tuesday when the last cabinet was installed. just enough to cook with and make dinners without running into the living room to get things over and over, but cleared them out again so nothing gets knocked over during door installation. Not sure when Microwave is due.
The old cabinets were just screwed into the walls. These cabinets are attached to a bracket. As you can see, many lag bolts have been used to attach this bracket to the wall. The screw sticking out is where the 'late' cabinet was installed. it's eventually attached to another bracket in the cabinet as such
The sides of each cabinet are attached to such screws on the bracket. So every vertical piece pretty much isn't going anywhere. I don't think these will come off the wall. (those silver brackets are hidden by grey snap on pieces, as seen in the first picture.) I have to say there's a certain convenience to not having doors on cabinets. but I don't want anyone to see where the potato chips are, so i guess it's all for the best ;-)
