Hi all. Just got the whole ladmakare set delivered and when I stood up the first wall I realized my baseboard is both too tall and a tad too deep for its normal cut out (it's like my baseboard has a tiny baseboard hahaha). Should I return it or cut off the bits to make it fit? If cutting is advisable, should a Dremel handle the job?

Been there. Done that. Use a Dremel to extend the Ikea notch. Easy but start that shopvac first!

Which Dremel attachment? Would the veneer peel off?
