How Can I Fix the Annoying Gap Between My Wardrobes?
Asked by Qw3rTY28!
I've got this frustrating gap between my wardrobes that I've spent all day assembling, and it's really bothering me! The left unit seems level, but the right one isn't perfectly aligned. I have a photo to show the issue (https://imgur.com/a/KrYt2Xx). What would be the best way to fix this problem? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You can bring the two units together and make sure the tops are flush. Use wood screws to fasten them together, then level the sides as one unit. If one side is low, you can use wood shims or cardboard under the side panels to raise it. Just check that the doors fit well before trimming the shims. Also, don't forget to wall-mount them if needed for extra stability!

To fix that gap, you should try aligning the wardrobes properly. Remove the doors and clamp the units together. Pre-drill a hole not all the way through, then use a screw that's about a quarter inch shorter than the thickness of the sides. That should help tighten them up!

Have you thought about screwing them together either directly through the sides or using a bracket to hold the top/back? Once that’s done, you might need to shim the lower side to level them out. Just make sure to give it some time to settle before doing too much shimming.
