I bought a pair of wardrobes from Ikea. (Cheap, I know, but I'm not a woodworker, and I'm on a budget. Unfortunately, returning them is not an option). Anyway, they are made of white-finished particle board and I'm having a lot trouble getting them square. Because of that, I'm also having trouble getting the doors on straight.
So, here's what happened: first, I laid them down to assemble them, and the sides bowed inward. I used a triangle tool to get it as square as possible and then put in a couple of metal corner braces to try to hold the corners in place before I nailed the back on. But when I stand it up it still sways slightly. To complicate matters, the floor isn't level.
I tried putting the doors on hoping that maybe I could get thing to at least look straight, but they are not even close to even.
At this point I'm ready to pull my hair out trying to figure out how to fix this. If anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Lisa
