Hello everyone, I am planning to assemble an IKEA Hemnes wardrobe in our bedroom, but I have the problem that the floor there is not completely level. The unevenness is not severe but noticeable, and I am concerned that this might affect the assembly or stability.
I would be interested to know if anyone has practical tips or tried-and-tested methods for installing the Hemnes wardrobe securely on a floor that is not entirely even. Are there any special mounting aids, leveling solutions, or tricks you would recommend to prevent wobbling or uneven load distribution?
Thank you in advance for your responses!

A 5 mm (0.2 inch) difference is not a big deal – you can easily manage it with furniture pads or even small wooden shims!
For the Hemnes, you can use simple felt pads and, if needed, adjust the height by stacking them or place small wooden pieces under the legs to level and cushion the cabinet.
This approach keeps the cabinet stable and the floor protected as well.
Tip: Just try out what works best for the unevenness. A little tinkering is worth it and can actually be quite enjoyable!

How exactly could I adjust the leveling feet, or what material should I add to ensure stability?As far as I know, the leveling feet of the HEMNES are adjustable by rotating, allowing a height adjustment within a small range of about 0.5 to 1 cm (0.2 to 0.4 inches). You can simply turn the feet until they make secure contact with the floor—this usually compensates for minor unevenness.
If that adjustment range is not sufficient, additional elements can be used, such as rubber pads, small wooden wedges, or even metal glides of varying thicknesses placed between the foot and the floor.
I would always ensure that the load is evenly distributed, so nothing rests on a sharp edge. A larger contact area helps prevent floor damage and provides greater stability.
