What happens here

Build a simple rectangular frame from 2x4 lumber that will sit on the floor and support the base cabinet. Secure this frame to the floor using screws. Carefully place the assembled base cabinet carcass onto the 2x4 frame. Next, lift and position the upper cabinet carcass on top of the base unit. Secure both cabinets to the wall studs using screws and ensure they are level and plumb.

Goal: Construct a 2x4 base frame for the cabinets, secure it to the floor, and then install the assembled base and upper cabinet carcasses into the entryway nook.
