Is it possible to trim 4-6 inches from the back of this cabinet?
Hi. I love this cabinet but its pretty deep for my space.
Is it possible to trim 4-6" off the back?
There are no interior shelves to worry about removing and resizing.
6" would be the max I can take off b/c of the sliding pocket doors.
It you think it is possible to remove the a few inches from the cabinet, what is the best type of saw to use? How would you approach this project?
Thanks!

You're aware that would have to be removed and reattached, right?
Any feet on the bottom or anything like that? Or is the bottom uniform front to back?

Yes. I am aware the back would have to removed and reattahced.
There are no feet on the bottom....the piece is uniform front to back.
The side shelves you see can be unattached...

When I do "ideal" cabinets like this I use my table saw, set to the amount I want cut off, set the unit on the saw, run it through, do 90 degrees and continue until it is all off, uniformly, very little boogers. It takes a steady hand, both pushing and keeping it toward the fence, so unless you have experience at using a table saw, you may want to relegate it to a cabinet shop or take it to a tech school with a wood shop. They will usually do it free.
