I recently hired some kitchen installers for my IKEA kitchen, but unfortunately, they did a really shoddy job. They left me with uneven cuts and misaligned cabinets everywhere. The plumber did manage to install the dishwasher so that it's level with the countertop, but the side panel is visibly angled and crooked. Is there any way I can fix this situation? I'd really appreciate any advice!

Fixing an issue like this can be tricky. Remodeling is all about geometry, so if your floor isn’t level and you set your cabinets down on that uneven surface, you’ll end up with problems like this. Honestly, the best way to get it right is to take up the counter and reset the base cabinets so everything is level and plumb again. Otherwise, you might just have to learn to live with it.
You want to make sure your dishwasher is level and plumb for proper drainage. Check if there are adjustable legs on the bottom front – you can tweak those to fix the height a bit. It might help with the alignment!
It’s already leveled and plumbed; the real problem is the crooked side cabinet. Any other suggestions?
