I’ve been looking in the mags like Architectural Digest, and surfing the sites of all the high end cabinetry outfits, and it seems as if today’s expensive megakitchens have cabinetry that is done to resemble furniture.
Gone are straight runs of recessed toekick. Now we see ins and outs in depths, both in the base units below counters, and in the runs of wall units.
Turned legs, squared legs, bun feet, chippendale corner feet, all the bottoms are done up to look as if the collection is a whole array of separate furniture pieces. Island sections look like heavy tables.
If you have built or installed these types kitchens, what is done to mount and level the base units? Do they in fact have platform stands, back there in the dark, which provide the installation support, while the posts and feet and leg arrangements are applied afterward?
Sequence pics would be great!

Some have the standard cabinet toekick but it is recessed about 6-8 inches making it hard to see. Other cabinets are built like a chest of drawers and the floor is open.
