Just put together a tall bathroom cabinet like this:

http://www.ikea-usa.com/webapp/wcs/s...01*13717*10136

The cabinet is skinny and tall so when I touch it on the side it sways. It
rests on four adjustable metal legs. In reading the installation guide
there are two holes on the top where you can screw the cabinet to the wall
to stop the sway. Well my bathroom is an exterior bathroom with CBS
construction and tiled walls, so I am not going to drill two holes through
my tiles especially there is no furing strip behind it where I want to place
this cabinet.

Any idea what I can do to stop the cabinet from swaying? Some sort of
angles or cross brace?

A strip of double sided foam tape ought to stick the back to the tile
wall just fine. If it doesn't lie close enough to the wall, use two
strips of tape with a spacer in between.

You might also want to put a few pieces of the same tape on the bottom
edges to keep it in place on the floor if someone bumps into it. Double
sided foam tape can be released if you decide to move the cabinet by
sawing it with a bread knife.

HTH,

Jeff
