Hmm I think it's a fair bet their walls aren't out of plumb (and almost certainly not out of square)

No customer has a spirit level that's accurate to + or - 0mm to check a guys work,no brickie,plasterer will build walls 100% accurate,square or plumb either.
Even the most expensive units aren't 100% square and most importantly a humans eyes won't differentiate between something being 1mm off the square or plumb,let's get real here guys!!

although if you have a tall unit in the kitchen this is your starting point,it needs to be set to height first and the wall units follow the height of this.

It's Christmas and there's nothing on telly, the wife's not here for me to annoy, I've sunk a couple of bevvies, so I'll now bore you with tales of the old days.

I can remember when there was no such thing as tall units.

Wall tiles were either 4.25 or 6 inches square, wall units were set up to accommodate either three or four rows of tiles (depending what size were going to be used).

Anybody remember the old Hygena QA kitchens from the 60s?

QA stands for quick assembly, these things had plastic sockets on the front and back sections and a bit of bent wire that hooked into both sockets to hold the back and front the correct distance apart, (as well as holding them together).

We had these on the 1970's kitchen that we just removed, quickly dis-assembled as well
