For example, usingadjustable legs for a kitchen set, you can compensate for floor unevenness, achieving perfect horizontal alignment of the furniture.

Standard legs are available in several heights:

• Legs 60 mm suitable for cabinets installed in compact kitchens.

• Legs 100 mm are a universal choice for most standard kitchen cabinets.

• Legs 120 mm or kitchen legs 150 mm are used for tall cabinets or furniture where ease of cleaning is important.
