I want to build one (or several) rolling cabinets using Ikea Faktum (probably the ABSTRAKT design).
I’m not exactly sure whether it will be 60cm or 40cm (24 inches or 16 inches) wide, so I’m quite flexible there... The unit will actually be moved regularly between different rooms.
The casters themselves are probably the least of my problems, but I would appreciate your advice on two points:
1. Based on your experience, is a single Faktum cabinet frame rigid and stable enough to be moved around without warping? Or is it expected that the individual sides will need to be strengthened further with brackets and/or supports for added stiffness?
2. For aesthetic reasons, it would be desirable to cover the back. Having the front panel and the side panels on the left and right is no problem, but what about the back? Which product would you recommend for this? The situation is similar to a kitchen island, but in my case it will only be a single unit, so something like masonry or similar is of course not an option.
Thanks in advance for your answers!

EDIT:
Just wanted to say that after registering here, I first heard about METOD. So the Faktum rolling cabinet is off the table now...
