ᐅ Mount the IKEA FRAMSTA baseboard speaker on the floor

Hello everyone,

I want to get the Framsta system, but I have to place it on the floor because I want more than 4 modules stacked vertically, and according to the instructions, it must not be mounted on the wall.

Do I need to remove the baseboard for this? The bottom module has adjustable feet, so I can't place it directly against the wall and I'm not exactly sure what I should do.

How have you solved this, or how would you approach it?

You mean that because of the baseboard, the Framsta does not fit flush against the wall at the bottom.
Option 1: Remove the baseboard at that spot.
Option 2: Build a plinth (at the height of the baseboard).
Option 3: Install the Framsta with a gap from the wall (not ideal if the wall is to be backlit).

It seems that I will unfortunately have to cut the baseboard to the width of the Framsta modules.
Do you have experience with removing baseboards? I've never done it before and am not exactly sure how to go about it.

It depends on the baseboard.

The baseboard is a nailed wooden strip

Simply pry it off with a wide chisel or something similar. The strip might get damaged in the process. But if it’s a rental apartment, a new one will have to be installed anyway when moving out.
Another option would be to use different feet, for example like those of the Pax system, if the strip is not very thick. The feet are not very attractive, but a covering for them could be easily made.
