Ikea Kitchen. All help appreciated

    Bought a kitchen from ikea a couple of weeks ago. Last night realised I was missing 2 legs from one unit. A pack of legs is €4 but I'm not going to drive to dublin (I live 2 hours away) for the legs. The unit needs 6 and I have 4. Does anyone know of a way to improvise a couple of legs that will work properly and stand the test of time. All help is appreciated.

    Take two off your old kitchen units

    Unfortunately not that simple. New build house. Never had a kitchen before...

    Can you ring them up, tell them your dilema and ask them to post the legs to you?

    I tried that too. They won't send them because I haven't paid for them. If I had paid for them and hadn't received them, then they'd send them. Ikeas customer service really indent the best. ðŸ˜

    Surely when you purchase a unit that requires six legs then you should get six legs with it?

    If I were absolutely stuck, and could not wait, I would fit the four legs to allow leveling the unit and prop the other two points with timber. They legs will be hidden by the kick boards.

    Alternatively you could try a B&Q store or similar if there are any near you.

    I have a homebase next to where I work. I'll try there and there's a b&q not too far away also. Thanks for that. I was thinking along those line but wasn't sure if it would be a good idea or not
