Cabinet Leveling

Casegoods (dressers, cabinets, etc.), are fitted with doors and drawers while on a level, flat surface. The gaps surrounding the doors and drawers are made uniform based on a level cabinet.

The floors in most homes are not perfectly level. Therefore, it is usually necessary to place a small wedge under one of the rear legs of the cabinet in order to make it level. After this is done, the doors and drawers should fit perfectly.

If you move the piece at any time, it will be necessary for you to level the cabinet again.
