Installing a flatpack against a wall seems pretty straight forward and there's lots of video/guides on the interwebs on that part. I'm curious however as to how others have installed their flatpack systems in an island configuration as stability cannot be obtained from being fixed to a wall. I have timber floors and I would prefer a mechanical system (screws/brackets etc) to a chemical (glue) system.

I've seen full framing done for a base and then cabinets attached to that in some guides for building an island from scratch. Have others utilised the adjustable legs to get the height and then additionally used a bracket/framing system to lock the whole structure down to the floor? Or simply built a frame and attached the cabinets straight onto that and not used the legs.

I don't want it to fall if someone were to get up on the island benchtop overhang for instance.

Thanks in advance.
