I am planning to replace an old bookcase with an MDF bookcase per picture attached.
I am planning to use 18mm MDF for the frame and shelves. I will need to scribe in on the left to match existing coving. I will build a plinth for the box to sit on above a bulky skirting board.
SUPPORTING THE...
Overkill, but pleased with result.
47 mill timber cut to make box [2 x 70 mill screws to secure].
Top and bottom from 18 mill MDF. Some hand sawing to mirror unsquare wall on left hand side. Primed then painted with gloss... Not quick, not that easy, but a good experience.
Thanks, Custard. I would like to apply the back tilt on top of the plinth. I don't think I will try to mach the plinth with the wardrobe material - it's the ikea high gloss finish, something that fits well and is brilliant also will do fine.
Very inexperienced in this line, I need to make a sturdy plinth to allow an Ikea Pax wardrobe to sit flush against the back wall in spite of a 13 cm skirting which contains central heating pipes.
I have mockup up what it will look like - see attached image.
Any advice would be much appreciated...
