Step 3. Measure the front plinth from outer corners of the feet base plates and side plinth from outer corner of base plate to the wall.
Step 4. Cut the plinth or kickboard to length using a fine toothed saw and sticking some masking tape on the plinth to get a neater cut.
Step 5. Fit the clips to the inner surface plinth note that front and side plinth clips need to be set at different levels – see Ikea instructions.
