1. A leveling device to level first and second adjacent cabinets to a floor and to join the first and second cabinets together, comprising: a first channel defined between generally parallel interior and exterior walls, and including a bottom wall connecting the interior and exterior walls, the first channel being sized to receive the entire width of a first cabinet sidewall lower edge of the first cabinet;a second channel defined between generally parallel interior and exterior walls, and including a bottom wall connecting the interior and exterior walls, the second channel being sized to receive the entire width of a second cabinet sidewall lower edge of the second cabinet, the second channel being parallel with the first channel, and the first and second channels being free of projections extending upwardly from the bottom walls;an intermediate section connecting said first and second channel; andan adjustable threaded member oriented substantially perpendicular to the floor in use, said adjustable threaded member received through a threaded opening in said intermediate section and including a structure at the upper end thereof for receiving a turning device to provide rotational adjustment of said threaded member, said structure for receiving a turning device being accessible from above said intermediate section, and wherein said adjustable threaded member provides leveling adjustability to said device by facilitating the raising and lowering of said channels. 2. The leveling device of claim 1, wherein at least one of said first and second channels includes inward projections to provide a friction fit with a cabinet sidewall. 3. The leveling device of claim 1 wherein said adjustable threaded member has a foot pad at the base thereof. 4. The leveling device of claim 1 wherein said structure for receiving a turning device is a female Allen-type opening. 5. The leveling device of claim 1 wherein said interior walls of said first and second channels and said intermediate section define an interior cavity. 6. The leveling device of claim 5 further comprising a base wall for partially enclosing said interior cavity. 7. The leveling device of claim 6 wherein said base wall has a threaded opening therethrough for receiving said threaded member. 8. The leveling device of claim 1, wherein said intermediate section is positioned between the first cabinet sidewall and the second cabinet sidewall in use. 9. The leveling device of claim 1, wherein said upper end of said threaded member is positioned above said intermediate section. 10. A leveling device for installing with first and second cabinets on a floor and for joining the first and second cabinets together and maintaining the space therebetween, the leveling device comprising: a first channel defined between generally parallel interior and exterior walls, and including a bottom wall connecting the interior and exterior walls, the first channel being sized to receive the entire width of a first cabinet sidewall lower edge of the first cabinet;a second channel defined generally parallel interior and exterior walls, and including a bottom wall connecting the interior and exterior walls, the second channel being sized to receive the entire width of a second cabinet sidewall lower edge of the second cabinet; the second channel being parallel with the first channel, and the first and second channels being free of projections extending upwardly from the bottom walls;an intermediate section connecting said first and second channel and situated between the first cabinet sidewall and second cabinet sidewall; andan adjustable threaded member for providing leveling adjustability to said device by facilitating the raising and lowering of said channels, said adjustable threaded member being oriented substantially perpendicular to the floor, being received through a threaded opening in said intermediate section, and extending above said intermediate section. 11. A cabinet assembly situated on a floor in a room, comprising: a first cabinet having a first cabinet sidewall, said first cabinet sidewall having a lower edge,a second cabinet adjacent the first cabinet and having a second cabinet sidewall, said second cabinet sidewall having a lower edge,and a leveling device for leveling the first and second cabinets to the floor and for joining the first and second cabinets, said leveling device comprising a first channel, including a bottom wall, for receiving the entire width of said first cabinet sidewall lower edge; a second channel, including a bottom wall, for receiving the entire width of said second cabinet sidewall lower edge, the first and second channels being free of projections extending upwardly from the bottom walls; an intermediate section connecting said first and second channel; and an adjustable threaded member for facilitating the raising and lowering of said first and second channels, the threaded member being oriented substantially perpendicular to the floor, received through a threaded opening in said intermediate section, and including a structure at the upper end thereof for receiving a turning device to provide rotational adjustment thereof, said structure for receiving a turning device being accessible from above said intermediate section and between said first cabinet sidewall and said second cabinet sidewall. 12. The cabinet assembly of claim 11 wherein the leveling device supports the lower edges of the first and second cabinet sidewalls above the floor.
