    Kitchen island socket back box

    Hi All, Having a new kitchen and the Mrs wants a socket on the back end of the island, does anyone have any back box suggestions? The socket will back onto a cupboard so I want to avoid a drywall back box due to it not being very sturdy. I would appreciate your suggestions. Thanks Dunk
