Hello everyone!

I want to build one (or several) rolling containers from Ikea Faktum (probably design ABSTRAKT). The thing (whether 60cm or 40cm wide I’m not quite sure yet, I’m quite flexible there…) is actually supposed to be regularly rolled back and forth between different rooms. The wheels themselves should be the least of the problems, but I ask for your advice on two points:

1. Is a single Faktum element, based on experience, stiff and rigid enough to be moved without warping? Or is it expected that the individual sides will need additional stiffness with brackets and/or braces?

2. For aesthetic reasons it would be desirable to panel the back side. Front panel at the front and side panels left and right are no issue, but at the back?? Which article would be suitable for that? So the problem is similar to that of a kitchen island, only in my case it will, of course, be just a single element, and something built of masonry etc. is naturally out of the question.

Many thanks in advance for your answers!

EDIT: Just wanted to say that after registering here in the forum I heard about METOD for the first time. So the FAKTUM rolling container is off the table…
