Kitchen Island on existing hardwood floor

grocery

I am installing a kitchen island. I currently have 5/16" hardwood and a 3/4 inch sub floor underneath. When I install the cabinets, do I need to cut away the hardwood so the cabinets can be secured directly to the sub floor? Or, can I simply attach the cabinetry to the hardwood and subfloor together? Thank you in advance for your responses!

Hi and welcome to the forum.

If it were me, I'd just mount it directly.

I second the island on the finished floor. No ill effects to concern yourself about.

Grocery,
I normally fasten a couple of 2 x 4 cleats to the floor under the cabinet and then fasten the island cabinets to the cleats with hidden screws. Are you putting in an outlet(s)?

is it a glue down floor or floating?
