We thinking of getting these ones, so im not sure we could tuck in some hardboard underneath without it being noticeable:

just leave the legs off if your concerned, then the whole base of the wardrobe is in contact with the floor

We've had an almost identical wardrobe at the top of the stairs for several years, and because of where it's placed there's no wall behind to fasten it to, and it's fine without.

As others have said, I've never bothered attaching a wardrobe to the wall. The only item I did bother with was a 6' bookcase as it was a cheapy Argos one and was so shallow that it would have toppled easily. A wardrobe on the other hand would take some effort to pull over.

If it's an Argos bookcase then it will need fixing to the wall just to make sure that it does not collapse. At least, that is my experience of one that I assembled for my bowls club. Absolute rubbish compared with a similar one from Ikea that I assembled for myself.
