Pax rear skirting board broken - Does it affect stability?

Good morning,

something stupid happened to me: while moving my Pax wardrobes over a high-pile carpet, the rear baseboard on one wardrobe broke off at the bottom and is now detached. The wardrobe is 1m wide and 2m high (so a 1m carcass). As far as I can tell, it still stands well and firmly (mainly on the side panels). Does the baseboard need to be replaced or can I leave the wardrobe as it is? On the other wardrobe (same dimensions) one of the adjustable feet broke off. It doesn’t carry any weight anyway, right? I know... stupid move, but unfortunately that's how it is now. The two wardrobes stand next to each other. Would you fix them to the wall with an angle bracket or screw them together at the top? Regards Horst

To my knowledge, Ikea requires them to be attached to the wall with the strap anyway...

I don't think I would take everything apart because of that. It would also depend on whether there are [Wasserkästen] or socks in the closet for me. What I would definitely do, however, is connect the cabinets together (there are screws from Ikea for this, otherwise you can screw them together) and attach each one to the wall with an angle bracket.

I don't think I would take everything apart because of that. It would also depend for me whether there are water boxes or socks in the cabinet. What I would definitely do: connect the cabinets together (Ikea screws are included for this, otherwise you can also screw them together) and attach each with a bracket to the wall.

I agree, not to take everything apart, especially if it depends on water boxes or bases. The idea to connect the cabinets with each other and to the wall is definitely sensible and improves stability. That's exactly how I would do it too.
