Hi all,
I'm building a frameless bathroom vanity that has walls on three sides.
All three walls are completely tiled all the way to the floor.
The two side walls are a bit out of square with the back being narrower than the front. I decided to build the cabinet square and now have gaps on both side walls.
The left-side gap is about 7/16 from top to bottom. The right-side gap is 3/16 at the bottom and 7/16 at the top.
I am planning on a bank of drawers on both sides with doors in the middle.
What options/techniques would you use to deal with the side gaps for this installation?
Here's what I've come up with:
1. The easiest option is to just leave it as is! Since the walls are tiled it doesn't look too bad, and the only disadvantage here is that the right-side gap varies 1/4 inch from top to bottom. I can see the inconsistent gap on the right side, but my wife probably wouldn't notice unless I told her...
2. The drawers on the sides will be full overlay. I could cut the drawer faces oversize to cover the gap. On the right-hand side I could cut the drawer faces on a slight angle to account for the out-of-plumb wall.
3. Install a filler strip on both sides. I have a track saw and could cut the angled filler strip on the right-side without a problem.
Any thoughts? Options 1 and 2 are my own independent ideas as a beginner - are they dumb?
