How to make an island on wheels using Ikea cabinets

I really like this kitchen island and I wish you had told us in the description the names of the cupboards and the drawers etc. Also some measurements would have been great to know😊

I truly admire people that can do things like this. Very impressive work and I learned much

Cost???

Is the counter top a stone? We are on the process of kitchen remodel and I was told that having an islnd on wheels is a hazard, and I really need a moveable island since our kitchen is very tight

Really clean work

Doesn't the base in the middle portion need more support? Asking for me. 😆

Love ur clean n go method 💯

Dern. I wanted to see how to put on the counter.b 😆😭😭

Pan heads in countersunk holes, heretic!

MAXIMERA IKEA CABINETS! AWESOME VID! THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION!!!

Great job!...Just one question. I was wondering why you didn't do the same depth all the way across instead of using the cabinets that weren't the same depth as the ones on the ends...

Cool but Ikea MDF or whatever they use for infill is like screwing into sand. It eventually crumbles apart and is only useful for things not meant to hold up to real use.

👍

Thanks for sharing, great work! I'm a bit concerned over hypermobility of the iseland. Once in position you probably want that big piece of furniture fixed so you could lean on it and so that visitor's kid wouldn't run it playing into something or someone. Wheels with breaks will help a bit but I wonder if floor mounted rails are needed to have full control/safety.

This is perfect. Exactly what I was looking for so I can make an island that is the exact size I need in my kitchen. Thank you!

Can you lock the wheels.

So that corner rail on the bottom is just to stiffen the plywood between wheels? Is there a minimum distance between wheels less than which you wouldn't need to do that? Does using it mean you don't have to use as many wheels? Thanks.

very nice and great job

nice..

Crazy skills!!!

Looks fantastic

👍👍👍👍👍

Gave me some great ideas, thanks for sharing!

We're looking to do an island in our home soon. Curious how much all the material cost???

I was watching the video hoping to see how you will attach the benchtop but it was skipped :(

Nice build. Since you went with metal casters, would you recommend using more than 8 to distribute the weight more? I am worried about scuffing the flooring, whether it be hardwood, laminate, or tile.

I see you don't have a wedding ring.... How you doing?😂

Did you make your own island top??

this fruit is such a clean freak... good grief.

ah... once that island has a load on, those nice metal wheel will fuck up your flooring BIGTIME. FAIL

Awesome job. Thank you for taking the extra time to make a video of your work and post it for us.

Great clean and thought out
Well done

He used a circular saw, clamps, an oscillating tool, a drill or two, and a shop vac for this entire project. This guy is the shit.

What was used on top

Pretty cool

Where did you get these wheels from

Don't tell my husband, but I forgot all about this island and fell in love as soon as I saw him clean up after himself. 😄

Omg, that’s beautiful. I wish you could have put a free plan for us

Excellent work, great video. What were the dimensions of this particular movable island?

Main part I was waiting but it was skipped...That marble on the top😢I was wondering how it is kept

Hi bought a ikea island for my crafts. Old and stupid old woman. Do you have any idea please how to lock the wheels. Don't want unit to move. There's a grey lever on each wheel. But I can't budge it either up or down to lock wheels. Help would be much appreciated please. Thank you

Wow! This is awesome. This is why I attempt DIY projects. Not nearly as talented as you! You make it look like a breeze. Love it! Keep posting! Greattttt ideas!!!

looks nice! can you share countertop, and the oak and beige cabinets?

Hi. Does the kallax unit easy hold the weight of the marble top?

I ask out of complete ignorance, don't those metal wheels mark the wooden floor??

Please be based in Los Angeles. I want to hire you for exactly this kind of rolling island for my closet. Please post contact info?

What is the metal tracks for where the wheels are? Is this in place of wood reinforcement?

exactly what I was looking for thanks a bunch for showing your process!
