If your planning on installing your own upper cabinets, for a kitchen, garage, or laundry room, then I would recommend that you either have someone help you or you can do it yourself. If you decide to not get help with the installation, here is what you should do. Actually, use this method even if someone is helping you mount the upper cabinetry to the wall. Make some prop sticks. Cut four pieces of wood about 48” long and 2 ½” to 4” wide. Usually 3/4” thick wood works just fine for this application. Pair them up so you have two sets. Now, by adding screws to them you can adjust the height of the prop sticks to correspond to where the bottom of the upper cabinets will be. If your installing the cabinetry where there is no soffit above, when you place them on the prop sticks it will be necessary to keep pressure on the cabinet against the wall at all times. This is where the extra person becomes very valuable.

Let’s face it, buying cabinets from large service centers is going to be a much more economical way to go than having a custom kitchen built. To understand this concept we have to think about the words “mass production” and “volume.” read article Low Priced, Cheap Kitchen Cabinets
