How to Mount Kitchen Island to Floor - Ikea Sektion 

Honest video, no one shows the troubles that actually happen and get solved on the fly. Good job

Thank you Shannon, this is how it is in real life, all those DIY videos that show everything so neat, clean and easy need to show everything, not just the good bits.

Your drill bit melted because it hit rebar it's just something that happens need to move hole over a little to left or right. Great job !!😊

I love this tutorial! And tell your husband if he’s got time to lean he’s got time to clean 😂.

Great video and learning experience.

Every project requires 40 trips to the hardware store, just learn to accept it. Although, as your misc. stockpile of extra parts grows from projects, you'll need less trips.

Very helpful! Great to show the mistakes that can be made along the way and quick solutions that cause less trips to the depot!

Thanks for this - we are fitting an IKEA kitchen this weekend and I wondered how the island was fixed to the floor

I used this video to setup my island. My countertop was installed 4 months ago and the island is still holding up well! Thank you!!!

Great video Shannon, I will be doing this on the weekend, a finished kitchen is in site! Thank you.

You're so handy and smart! Thanks for posting!

This is just what I needed. Thank you.

Really helpful. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Thanks for sharing Shannon, it puts lots of mysteries in my brain out! Very helpfu video :)

Thank you very much for sharing this...helped a lot

Use a standard screw gun with torque setting instead… never use an impact for tapcons

Husband looks helpful…

I'm not doing an island but rather a peninsula - same concept applies. The guy laying on the floor instead of helping while you're doing the work. Really? Anyway brava to your success. Very helpful.

Thanks Shannon!

Super helpful. We are in and 80 year old home and the floors are very uneven from settling. Leveling each cabinet individually is a nightmare, so I love the approach of screwing them all together first. Good trouble shooting.

Go deeper with the hammer drill. If it feels too loose you can always use epoxy or stuff wood chip in the hole.

Great video. 👍

This is a pretty solid little workbench. While once you figure out how it comes together, it is physically Easy to assemble ru-vid.comUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh by yourself. But the diagrams explaining the steps are really pretty bad. I could not get the handle pins in all the way despite multiple attempts, so I just used a screw I had on hand for the 2nd handle. I could not get the first pin in further or pull it back out. You are supposed to hammer it in, but I had no leverage and the handle is plastic and I did not want to risk breaking it. I will get a lot of use out of the bench because of the convenient size and height. It does fold up nicely for storage. They even explain how to fold it so you don't get pinched...that is important!

Very helpful

👏👏👏👏👏👏 thanks. Your vid help a lot, 😊 Thanks

Nice video

use concrete anchor bolt.

Great job. Thankfully I have a wood floor, so I'll be doing this soon with the easy wood screws in the floor!

Put oil or water on drill so it cools down in between drilling.

Have a cup of water to dip the hot drill into while you are drilling

Thanks great job. I decided just to place island directly on to new 2x4 platform without the plastic legs. Those legs are garbage.

For those concrete screws, I have found it best to stop at about half-inch shy of the required depth. I then finish out the hole with a more narrow masonry bit.

In the UK, the brackets are called Metod. Good helpful video, thanks.

Thanks for this video! Currently installing my Ikea island and instructions aren’t clear, and even wrong with the 2 screws for the timber piece. The height is just too low if you have both screws in, might as well just put one in only at the start.

Clean the holes. Driving the screws slower, not full power.

I always, ALWAYS keep a glass or bucket of water next to me to dip the masonry bit in. Keeps it cool and get the junk off.

Hey Shannon, what did you put to the back of the island?

Where was hubby? Go girl, my wife is the same - so practical and able, like me.

I usually plan on 2-3 holes per concrete bit, and if you can use the water trick to get a little more you are great, but concrete eats through bits quickly.

Hi, nice video. Your screw head broke because you didnt clear all the dust out of the hole after drilling. Adds too much resistance to the screw going into hole.

You need one more size up on your drill bit..

You probably don't have to have them all screwed into concrete, since the cabinet are all screwed together anyway

That is the wrong tapcon to use for a metal bracket. The counter sunk tapered head is use for wood into concrete. For a metal bracket you should use a flat head tapcon.

I know it's been a whole year or so since you dropped this video but the only thing i do differently is anytime I'm drilling concrete, metal or tile I always have a bit of water running or sitting on the surface just to help cool down the bit. But amazing job and thanks for the tutorial.

Are you drilling the screw straight into the concrete? You'll need to do one of two things: 1) drill a hole for a plastic plug, hammer in the plug, then drill the screw into the plastic plug in the ground. Or 2) you can drill into the concrete, then install a dynabolt into the hole, when you mount the bracket on the bolt, as you tighten the nut, the dynabolt expands in the hole, creating a firm hold.

Where are your safety glasses?

you're supposed to share the legs between the units...you didn't do that part properly. Unless you aren't supposed to do that for the island. But I doubt that's the case.

Woodglut is a good solution for every woodworker.

Use better drills. Bosch multi
