My wife recently bought a small sideboard to go in the living room alcove, however the top overhangs on each side, meaning it's about 10mm too wide for the gap (uneven walls don't help either).
Given that it's unlikely to be made of solid wood, how would I best go about trimming down the top to size? I don't think the top comes off, so it'd have to be trimmed in situ.
I've been thinking of getting an oscillating multitool for a while now - would it be usable for this? I know they're not meant for long straight cuts, but can a reasonably straight cut be achieved with a slow, cautious approach? It should fit flush to the wall when done, so hopefully any imperfections won't be visible. Perhaps I could sand it down?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
