Measure the height and width of your kitchen island.
Determine where you want to position the island. You will need at least 3 feet of space on all sides of the island to allow enough room to walk around. Use the previous measurements to determine the ideal location. Tape an outline of the island on the floor to see where it will go.
Carry the island into the kitchen with the help of an assistant. Remove the drawers to make it easier to maneuver. Set the island at the desired location.
Set a level on the island and adjust the island's legs until it is level.
Replace all the drawers in the island.
