STEP 1 Build a 100 cm x 60 cm wooden frame and fasten it to the floor.

STEP 2 Stack 6 METOD cabinets (40 cm x 40 cm each) in 2 rows of 3, then screw them tightly together where the arrows above indicate. Do the same thing with a group of 6 more cabinets.

STEP 3 Place the 2 groups of cabinets back-to-back, and screw them together by their backsides. You can use one side to store cookbooks and the other for baking tools.

STEP 4 Mount the island’s base onto the frame and secure it by screwing them together according to the arrows above. Do the same for the 3 lower cabinets on the other side.

STEP 5 Place an 80 cm x 80 cm cover panel on each side to hide the joints and create a clean finish.

STEP 6 Add a countertop that’s just slightly larger than the base, 90 cm x 150 cm, and screw them together to fasten where the arrows in the illustration above indicate. Do the same for the 3 upper cabinets on the other side. Get to baking!
