Hello,

I need some help with nailing the Pax back panel:
The holder/template is so short that the nails are placed on the last half millimeter (0.5mm) of the Pax back panel. Is this correct?
Off the top of my head, I would place the nails more towards the middle of the outer boards. After all, the Pax back panel is supposed to stabilize the cabinet, right?

Best regards from Hamburg

Half a millimeter is really quite tight. The back panel can easily tear out. I would recommend replacing the nails with screws anyway. This allows for easy, non-destructive disassembly during a move.
