Why does nobody talk about using drywall shims for cabinet leveling?
I was trying to install some IKEA cabinets in my kitchen last weekend and the floors are so uneven in my 1920s house. I spent like 2 hours trying to get the first cabinet level with those little plastic feet they give you. Then my neighbor came over and handed me a pack of drywall shims. Said to use those behind the cabinets to shim them level against the wall and at the base. It worked way faster than messing with those feet. The cabinets now sit solid with no wobble. Has anyone else used this trick for kitchen cabinets?

YouTuber I watch swears by drywall shims for cabinets. Says it's way easier than messing with those little feet.

Little plastic feet" lol more like little plastic lies if you ask me. My floors are so crooked in this old house that those feet just made the cabinets look like they were trying to walk away. Drywall shims are genius because you can stack em, break em, whatever you need to get that perfect tight fit against the wall. I actually ended up using a combo of shims and old playing cards once when I ran out of shims at 10pm. Did your neighbor laugh at you too when they saw you fighting with those feet?
