Hi!
I recently bought a white Pax (200x236x58 WxHxD) and started assembling it yesterday. So far, no problem. Now I need to anchor it to the wall at the top. Problem: the baseboards/ skirting boards behind it. The baseboards prevent the cabinet from sitting flush against the wall at the bottom. Because of that, the body leans against the wall by itself at the top. I am now a bit undecided about what to do.
Either I remove the baseboard and push the thing all the way in. Advantage: no risk of accidentally knocking out the only nailed-in Pax back panel. Disadvantage: no ventilation behind the cabinet.
Or I leave the baseboard in place and use washers at the top to compensate for the distance to the wall. Advantage: ventilation; disadvantage: vulnerable Pax back panel.
What would you do and why?
And which screws would you recommend? There were none included with the cabinet.
