Hello everyone, I am currently installing a Pax system in an older building. When the individual carcasses are placed side by side, there are small gaps. My question is: can I simply adjust the leveling feet to compensate, thereby raising the cabinet at the front and be done? It feels a bit odd to me that the entire load would then rest only on the feet (and press into the nice wooden floorboards). What are your experiences?

If the cabinet is only standing on its feet, the bottom panel can easily break out. For this reason, the carcasses should be secured to the wall. It can also be helpful to support the sides.

If you always have to stabilize the side panels, it makes me question the purpose of the feet... Still, thank you for your response.

Use the feet to adjust its alignment. The wall mounting carries the load. Of course, you need to be careful not to tighten the screws so much that the cabinet becomes crooked. It is best to shim the gap between the bracket and the wall.
