- Countersink holes should be drilled ¼-inch deep. Apply glue to the outside of the face frame with the holes in it, it should also be able to slide tight against the other 18-inch cabinet and secured with the 2 ½-inch drywall screws.
- The 36-inch kitchen base cabinet must be set so the back of it faces the back of the two 18-inch vanity drawer bases.
- Glue must be applied again to the top of the back of the 18-inch cabinets, and the cabinets pushed together, back to back. By using the 1 ¼-inch drywall screws, screw together through the back of the 36-inch cabinet, they must be secured into the nailing strip located at the top of the 18-inch cabinets.
- Apply contact cement to the back of the tallest cabinet.
- The laminate must be secured to the back of the cabinet. Install the countertop according to the manufacturer’s instructions to the kitchen base.
- However, there are things you should have to keep in mind in order to build a multi-level kitchen island with your own design.

It is important to have proper ventilation when applying contact cement. Do not leave power tools unattended in the presence of children.
