Hello and help
I have assembled a BRUSALI 3-door wardrobe. The instructions were missing—but I was able to download them.
So far, so good.
Now it’s standing here—the mirrored door is in place, but the doors on the right and left don’t fit.
At first, it looks like the dowels are too short—but according to the parts list, there are 10 identical dowels included.
So, are the doors too wide?
There are decorative strips on the right and left—no matter what I do, the doors won’t fit.
Help—what should I do now? I’ve never had anything from Ikea not fit before.
Best regards

No idea what I was thinking while assembling it, but you were right. By the way, swapping it out was quite easy... apart from the brief moment of panic when the cabinet almost tipped over.
