Fitted bedroom. Bed won't fit!

The lesson to be learnt is to measure twice and cut once. But if you do what I did then it's also nice to know homebase will take half the blame.
The end panels would only work if you were about to move units back the same distance. This would have meant cutting the back of the side panels.0 -

I'm not sure what you mean. If I had an end panel I could have cut 2 pieces out of it to the size of the bridging units and put them either side. Then the bottom would have been covered by the plinth underneath. So from left to right you'd have seen wardrobe, end panel, small end panel, bridging units, small end panel, end panel, wardrobe.
But as you said earlier that would have made the bed fit exactly to the size but with no room for bedding. Now we've ordered the double bed there will be around 2.5 inches each side of the bed so I'm actually happier with this outcome than I would have been if I'd squeezed in a king size.0 -
Your get is 1500mm filled with a bridging unit of 1500mm, two end panels are 18mm each.
To fit the end panels into the 1500mm gap so that the total distance is 1536mm thus allowing a bed to fit would mean making the actual gap 1536mm. The only way to do that would mean moving the adjoining units 36mm. If they are against the wall you'd need to reduce their depth.0 -

They aren't against the wall, that's the question I've been asking him, read post #41 again,
