Where it goes
The boards
Every size in millimetres, worked out from the wardrobe's 1000 × 2100 × 600.
Scribe filler
2100 × 50 × 18From the wall to the box: 50 wide at the floor, 38 at the top, 2100 high, 18 thick.
Against the left side of the box and the wall, its front flush with the doors.
Stuck?Show a hint
A wall is rarely straight: you take the gap at the floor and at the top, and cut the filler to both. Here it's 50 at the floor and 38 at the top. The dashed line on the wall is its face at the front of the box.
