In normal circumstances, how much is allowed to adjust the height of cabinet footings?

The adjustment of cabinet footings is crucial for ensuring that cabinets are level and stable, especially when installed on uneven surfaces. Allowing for a maximum adjustment of 1/2 inch strikes a balance between maintaining a level aesthetic and providing stability. This level of adjustment can accommodate minor discrepancies in floor height and irregularities without compromising the structural integrity of the cabinets.

The options for smaller adjustments, such as 1/4 inch, may not be sufficient to address many common installation issues, while an adjustment allowance of 1 inch could lead to instability or an awkward appearance. Thus, allowing a 1/2 inch adjustment is practical and commonly used in the industry to ensure proper leveling while still adhering to aesthetic standards.
