    Well I did done fuck up. Assumptions and failure to measure causes flat pack furniture to not fit. Going to need a Frankenstein solution.

      I always measure 47 times to make sure things I buy are going to fit.

      And I still manage to get it wrong sometimes, especially if there are clearances for opening doors or similar involved.

        This is one of those over the loo arch shelf things. Utterly unflushable unless raised 3 inches. Fits perfect every other direction. Gah!

              I’d build it to height then make the rest hollow to fit the legs in.

          Clearance issues. It’s always some sort of clearance that messes things up! I have a little cupboard in the bathroom that fits perfectly, except for a compartment on top with a lift up lid which hits the bench overhang.

          Put lockable castors on the bottom?

            Nice idea! Need a bit more height than the ones I’m aware of

              Some are adjustable but not sure by how much

      Bunnings stock a bunch of different furniture feet/ legs that might help?
