My first mistake was letting my wife measure the gap. 2nd mistake was buying it and putting it together without checking.
So, got a 80cm wide bookcase to go into a 75cm gap....
I've managed to dismantle it and also get the back off (Without too much damage). My plan is to 5cm or so off the end of the top, middle, bottom struts and shelves. Obviously, I'm going to lose the ikea fixing then so I'll just have to screw through from the outside (wont see it anyway because of wall). Think rear will be a bit more difficult - its long and thin.
I have, a jigsaw, electrical mitre saw (probably shelves wont fit), hand held circular saw. Bench/Table saw would be best but I dont have.
Any tips/ideas?
