Thinking of building a built-in bookshelf in MDF, 3 sections each 63 cm wide screwed together on site in the niche. 1-2.6 meters high (slanted roof). Shelf depth 25 cm (MDF: cut and ready).
But the damn skirting is getting on my nerves. 45x70 mm "glued down" to prevent sagging. Nevertheless, the battens wobble considerably on the (actually very even two-year-old) wooden floor.
Level except for the last half meter where I would need to wedge properly.
Is it a lost cause to even try using wooden battens as a base, assuming that plastic skirtings would go much smoother? Just disappointing when you thought you could get a sturdy wooden frame level without spending so much time.

were you just planning to lay the frame construction on the floor? Where does the baseboard's unevenness come into this?
consider that there will be weight on it too. Plus, you will likely be anchoring it to the wall as well. So without knowing how uneven it is, it seems like it should sort itself out.
Yes, planning to place the shelf sections on the plinth, then screw them to the back wall with brackets (no back panel to save some depth and less work).
So it will be uneven since it's framing timber, despite having ripped, flipped, and glued it. I don't have a jointer. Sure, the weight should press the frame down against the floor, maybe enough, but it would feel better to place the sections on a level frame. I guess you'll have to expect to use wedges a bit everywhere if you're building with wood. Unless there's a better method.

on the floor plinth or the frame you've built?
there are adjustment screws for windows, etc. that can be used. How uneven is it?
