really strange, I had no problems with loose or falling off legs.

yes, I had to cut the outlet hole too. that is much easier than the cord hole. the backing can be cut with a razor knife. just measure in from the edge to where the center of your outlet will be and punch a hole. from there, just keep on trimming away until you expose the whole outlet. your cover plate will make up for any slight mistakes you might make. like I mentioned though, be careful where you are cutting the hole for the cord!

[quote:dstone001 format=text/plain]With the legs -- the whole piece falls out of the holes on the bottom of the base cabinets -- they aren't very tight. It's a pain in the ass.

For the microwave, I not only have to make a hole on the bottom for the cord to come up, but cut out a hole in the back for the outlet. That's the tricky one, since I see zero change of my cutting it out in the right place.[/quote]

Base cabinet time: The pictures show that these should be fixed into the stud with bolt head screws (like the kind that were used to hang the wall cabinets). Yet none of the base cabinets came with these screws. Instead, they all came with regular pan-head (?) screws -- the type the pictures say not to use. ?????

Duh. As with the wall units, they do not include screws for attaching the base cabinets. Would it be so hard for them to write screws not included on the fricking bags?
