Hi there!
I have a series of Ikea wardrobes that aren't standing evenly beside one another (they start out parallel at the floor, but the gap between them widens until the top). I assume this is because the floor isn't level. What's the best way to solve this problem? The wardrobes have wooden "legs" they stand on, so is there an easy way to make one leg shorter, so the wardrobes will stand level with each other?
Thanks for all your help.

You can place a shim under what appears to be the shorter legs. This can be a piece of wood, folded cardboard, a match book, a slice of cork off a wine cork, or other. Push the tops of the wardrobes together and have someone slip the shims under the legs.
