I spent Saturday fitting Ikea Platsa wardrobes in our bedroom.. due to us having sloping eaves to one side we decided to buy 1200mm high bases and 600mm tops which would need cut into the slope of the roof.. Little did I know that both the ceiling and floor would be seriously off the level.. I had to pack out the floor at one end by 30mm.. also had to space the wardrobes off the wall to allow them to run into the roof.. turned out well in the end.. some pics of the process..
The base packing strips got larger at the edge of each wardrobe.. which I built up with various cuts of wood I had.. 3mm hardboard, 9mm ply, 12mm OSB, 18mm MDF, then layered it up to suit.. Made a MDF template for the sloped bit then cut them all using the table saw.. they do have unfished edges against the ceiling, but you'll never see that..
