ᐅ IKEA PAX Wardrobe and Wall Trim: Assembly Tips

Hello everyone,

We are moving next week, and I have ordered several Pax wardrobes from Ikea. The problem is that the dressing room has relatively high baseboards/skirting boards (about 12cm (5 inches)) that are built in and cannot be removed. I would like to have the wardrobes flush against the wall, not with a 3 cm (1¼ inches) gap.

My question is: Is it possible to cut or trim the back of the plinth and the wardrobe so that the wardrobe can sit over the baseboards, or is it better not to do that?

Thanks in advance, everyone. Best regards

Cutting out should be possible since the "Billy shelves" are also cut out at the back to avoid baseboards.
