Vent: My old bathroom vanity was a pain to level on the uneven floor
I tried shims for a while, but they kept slipping out. Ended up using a tube of construction adhesive under the base, let it set for an hour, and it's been solid for months now. Has anyone else found a better fix for a wobbly cabinet on a bad floor?

Yeah, Diana's right. That adhesive is gonna fail eventually when the floor shifts. You really need to scribe and cut the bottom of the cabinet to match the floor's slope.

Remember when people said you could just shim it? I used to do that until a vanity cracked a tile after a year. Now I always scribe it, takes longer but it actually sits right.

Oh man, I feel this so hard. I totally wrecked a vanity leg trying to shim it on my old uneven floor, it was such a mess. I mean, @tessa_murray is totally right about scribing, it's a game changer once you get the hang of it. I finally learned to do it after my third wobbly cabinet and it just sits perfect now, no weird gaps. That adhesive trick is okay for a quick fix maybe, but it never really solves the actual problem.
