Subject: Re: New cabinets

From: "schabtach" <lists@...>
Date: 2008-11-23

I use T nuts inside the top of one cabinet and machine bolts with
washers through the bottom of the cabinet above. This joins one
cabinet to the next fairly solidly. I tried using a couple of kinds of
stick-on feet but after having a near disaster with only two cabinets
stacked, I decided I had to do something more stable when I added a
third cabinet.

Coincidentally, I just posted a photo of my modular on my blog today:

If you click on it you'll be taken to the Flickr page where you can
see a higher-resolution copy. You won't, however, be able to see the T
nuts and bolts, though; they're inside. :-)
