Where it goes
The boards
Every size in millimetres, worked out from the wardrobe's 1000 × 2100 × 600.
Plinth
1000 × 100 × 181000 long, 100 high, 18 thick.
Under the bottom, its front flush with the front of the box.
Back
1964 × 964 × 181000 − 18 − 18 sides = 964 wide, as high as a side: 1964.
Between the sides, the top and the bottom, flush with their back edges.
Stuck?Show a hint
The plinth starts right under the box's front-left corner: hover the corner, then move down. The back fits between the sides, so it's 1000 − 18 − 18 = 964 wide, and as high as a side: 1964. Can't see the corner at the back? View › Face Style › X-ray.
