I was ripping this whole wall of cabinets out anyway for my reno but i m all about re use re cycle since i wanted a kitchen island and i was lucky enough to have an extra set of 2 double doored cabinets in my dining room originally.

Place the cabinet assembly the island base right side up on the kitchen floor and position the island precisely where you will install it. This island is built to house two 36 inch base cabinets but can easily be modified by simply adjusting the width of the center wall.
