does anyone know what to use to support kitchen cabinets. we have a granite counter top and a deep kitchen sink, and we would like to support the cabinets under the sink as a safe measure. let me see if i can describe what i am looking for: its a metal rod in another metal rod. it would go from the floor to the bottom of the sink. it would adjust be either screwing it or unscrewing it. does anyone know what these are actually called as i would like to go to home depot or lowes to pick them up today. thanks.

this is similar to what i need, but it is to big, only need it to expand from about 30"- 40".

Why don't you just add additional fasteners through the back of the cabinets? That would be easier to conceal than jacks or columns supporting the bottom of the cabinets.

I would just buy some pipe and a bracket to attach it to the base of the cabinet and wedge it under the sink for support.

forget lowes and h.d., go to a plumbing supply house and ask to see what they have for old wall mounted sink legs, either bathroom or kitchen type, that's what you need. the only other option would be to make something up out of threaded black pipe and flanges, but you would need to have really good measurements for it to work, the adjustment would be in how tight you screw them together. good luck, hope this helps.
