I love how direct this video was. Love the extra shots riding the back panel in and the angles from instead the cabinet as well.
Thank you for watching
I just bought 2 of this .I am very excited!I am just a girl, hopefully i will manage to build it myself.
Assembling now in 2024! Thank you 👍🏾
Normally we have no issues with Ikea's instructions, however I was so confused by the instructions for this Besta storage combination! 😅 Your video was a real lifesaver, thank you!!
Thank you for watching
Me too, I did a pair of these together and this was one of the worst assemblies and I’ve done about 50 other IKEA pieces!
I have three of these to set up this weekend with spotlights for BluRay and figure storage in the home cinema, thanks for a great video.
What an adorable accen!
Useful video. Thanks for posting.
Thank you very much. With such videos, you will receive blessings forever...
Thank you for watching :)
Thank you so much man. I was very puzzled about the shelves/dividers as they gave me like 3 different types of things to put the planks on. Now I know what to do :)
Thank you for watching
So helpful! Thank you!
MetaGrrrl Thank you for watching:)
Easy steps guide video. Thank you
You sir are a good man!
Thank you! This helped me alot :)
Glad to help guys many more to come stay tune :)
Thanks a lot for your help to others 😎
thank you, very helpful video, regards from Poland
Thank you for watching
Thank you
Very good video, just what I needed with this monstrosity of an instruction Ikea gave to us.
Thank you for watching
Interesting. We bought the box versions (no long wardrobe ones like yours) so we have small metal brackets to secure the boxes together on the back. Just to let others know the difference. Yes, you still need to screw the box version to the wall same as in this wardrobe version 🛠️
Thanks for sharing! 😍👍🏻🙏🏻
Thank you kind ser ❤
amazing video- I was just about to send the f*****g shelf back where it came from, but then I found this magical piece of video footage
Hi good size combination ,well done,can it be used as a wardrobe or bedroom storage as well? Thanks
,,, this was a great help for me thank you very much :-)
Thank you for watching
Hi what size screw did you use to connect the two cabinets/shelves together please?
Awesome video!
Is it possible to switch the cabinet doors to open the opposite direction?
Example: the cabinet on the left, have the doors swing out to open to the right?
I’m buying from someone and they are selling the one on the left but I need the doors to open to the right.
Thank you
Thanks
If I were to buy IKEA plastic storage boxes,could you please advise what size boxes I would need to buy. Also can I not put the shelves in so I can stack the plastic boxes?
Thank you for posting! I am having trouble getting my push hinges to work. The cabinet doors do not push up against them hard enough to push the spring all the way back. Any ideas on what I can do to fix that? Thank you!
Adjust the pop ups there you can just screw the top is adjustable
Very helpful video - thank you. What size screws did you use when fixing it at the top against the wall?
Size of the screws to fix units to the wall depending on your wall plugs and how far you go with spacers. I thing I use here around 8cm-10cm screws
is it possible to assemble the Besta 192cm standing up? Also, I love all of your videos - so very helpful!
I don't think so. You will need 192 cms up for placing the sliding background of the structure...
thank u so much
Thank you for watching
Like 5 Great video 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Thank you so much for this very helpful video. There is a plug point behind the Besta we plan to set up, which won't allow us to push the unit right up against the wall and secure it. Would you have any suggestions ? Can we eave it unsecured, as it looks heavy enough to not topple over...is that a bad idea ? Thanks for any advice you might have.
I have the same issue with the plug🙃 can I ask what you ended up doing?
Hi, I really love your videos and those become my reference to assemble ikea furniture. For this besta storage, how do you install the bottom door without drag on the floor?
There are adjustable legs at the bottom just open them up little before attaching to the wall
@@PPFlatPack thank you 🙏
Thank goodness for your video I was about to throw a lot of money down the drain!
Could you please build a Hallan cabinet (double if possible) as I’m having issues with the doors and your videos are always my go-to. Thank you :)
Will do when I get chance. Thank you for watching
@@PPFlatPack you’re very welcome. Your videos are very helpful. Great news… I realised I had the legs on backwards and got the doors to work so no need for a video now. But thank you so much for all the help (have built a Besta TV bench, malm bed and kallax unit with the help of your videos). Next up will be the Alex desk once they are back in stock here in Australia. Have a great day :)
@@mycavpups01 Glad all work out. Good luck with your next project
thanks
Thank you! After lots of practice, I’ve gotten pretty good with IKEA instructions, but their pics for the door installation were awful. With your video I got it done, though!
Thank you for watching :)
Why do I have so many problems to put the back panel? It’s a nightmare! Any advice?
How thick are the pieces that carry the doors?
I absolutely cannot insert the backing board without it falling out of the grooves. You slid it in so effortlessly! Any tips?
I had exactly the same problem - it was a right faff getting the backing board into those grooves ! As soon as you push the board into the grooves, the sides move/open up and the board drops to the floor.
Is this unit completely finished all around that I could put each section up separate instead of together?
Yes and yes you can separate them and use them as two independent units.
Awesome video!
Can you please share what screws are you using to secure the dividing panels (7:34)?
I’m not finding them. Many thanks!!
Haha thought the same, they're in the instructions but not in the bag
Supposedly Ikea screws 114667, but you may well need longer and a different sort depending on what type of wall you are drilling into. If you don't have any in the Ikea bag or personal stocks, any hardware store will help. The fancy cheap-looking plastic pieces that come with Bestå units are a pain compared with the metal system traditionally offered by Ikea for the kitchen units (I don't mean the rails). With those you can drill into masonry, set your dowel and put the screw half in. Then only you shove your unit against the wall and tighten the screw. Always better than fumbling around to find the dowel hole through the plastic holders we have with Bestå. Interestingly, the BeståTV still have the sturdy metal system.
They had to be secured, but it doesn't say anywhere. In this video the guy also doesn't secure the panels...
How long did it take from start to finish?
This wood colour looks way better than the 'white-glazed-oak' they sell today.... This one is unfortunately not available anymore....
At 7:32 you secured the dividing panels with screws. The screws for that and instructions for that step are not included in ikea directions. Did you just add that step on your own and use your own screws? Thanks
You not need to doit I find it more secure so I fixit one from under as well. It is quiet hard to get there as the hole is to close to the site panel but possible. You will have few extra screws in BESTA I just use one from the extra ones.
Which hole # do you install each door on and then the main shelves by the doors and the push parts? Thanks!
If you have 3doors as in this case start with the bottom doors, holes for hinges are predrilled can't make mistake. Line up bottom doors with the bottom panel and secure them. Second doors 2-3mm gap and you find the right holes automatically top door same thing. Now when you have doors attached you can easy do dividing panels just line them up with gaps between doors
HI...I just bought and setup the Besta Tall cabinet at 75inches and it wobbles a lot. It might wobble left to right at .5" to 1". I have followed the directions perfectly...however I have not screwed it into the wall as it is wobbling so much. I have read that the Besta unit has changed from older versions.
I see they also have a 50" vertical. Do you think my frame is defective? Or should it wobble so much until it is screwed into the wall?
Also, I have floor molding and was planning to wall mount a hanging Besta above this unit. I have about 1 1/2 inch of molding on the floor, do you think i have to take out the molding to make the two cabinets sit flush on top of each other considering the top unit will use the suspension rail?
Thanks!
The units (192cm high) wobble primarily because as opposed to units with a screwed/nailed or stapled back panels that cater for some rigidity and ensure the units remain somewhat square, you have some tolerance in the fit of the sliding panel. This allows some movement when a unit is standing and turns it into a parallelogram when not screwed to the wall. When the unit is not standing level because of that wobble the next problem is you wil have trouble adjusting doors as the spacing of Ikea doors rarely leaves much spare room to play with.
Nice work..Can these Besta cabinets be hung on the wall, not just sitting on the floor?
Yes they can be hang on the wall.
If I do not screw the 2 inner top corners to the wall, would the whole thing topple down towards me when all doors are opened? Door seems heavy. Not sure if there is a difference of (2 frames with 6 doors) vs (1 frame with 3 doors). Thanks. Very useful video.
I think is better if you fix it on the wall this frame is light and doors heavy it would go down.
The holes in the sides to put the shelves in don’t match what can I do
Great! Now, show the part where the doors constantly need adjusting because the weight of them doesn't play well with gravity, and how you need to secure the cabinets in studs in at least 6 or more places because if you have more than one door open, that cardboard backing tears and down it comes (hopefully not on a kid). You need to modify the bottom if it is not on carpet and add a few 1x4s to the back that screw into the actual wood frame of it and then to the studs.
how do i anchor this to the wall if the wall has a 1/2 inch bass board
base board.
how would characterize the quality level of Besta storage?
As cheap as you can do something that barely keeps standing, and only while you screw it to the wall, but not even straight unless you have a day to adjust it... I wold suggest ikea to change the name to "worsta" :D
Any tips for adjusting the cabinet doors? I can't get them to line up correctly. They're not straight, or touching each other. Thanks
First attach unit on the wall thank each hinge have 2 screws you can adjust the doors in or out if you need to lift them up or down you can unscrew little 2screws holding hinge on the side panel push the door where you need and secure the screws back. Hope that help.
Hello, my Besta is shifting side to side by about 1/2 inch. It's not very stable. I tighten the cam locks and they seem to hold the base/top very tight but the frame is still shifting. Does the unit design to stand alone or do you have to screw to units together else it will shift? I am thinking about getting the metal cam locks and see if it will help or not. Do you have any suggestion? Also I don't put the cam locks in the hole first like you do before pushing the base/top in, does that make any difference? Thanks for your help in advance
Disclaimer: This is my first time installing any IKEA furniture so I could have easily miss some instructions (or pictures) :)
I assembled two standalone units (72x23") and they both are shifting
If you have only 1 small frame 23"H x 23"W x 8"H does it have to be secured to the wall? Every time I open the door the unit tips forward.
Yes this one need to be fixed to the wall
@@PPFlatPack Thank you! I am going to try to return it then.
@@4tun8nanette Maybe get wardrobe with sliding door there is not that much pressure on the frames.
Hello! Sorry bothering again. I just trying to install one of these but even secured, mine bends a bit and cannot adjust top door. If you push one of them by hand bends? Mine yes, I'm trying to figure how to fix this. Thanks in advance :)
I mean, big side panels of the shelf bends by hand, maybe due to the slim back panel. Any advice on this? No related to legs :(
It's clear, is the weight of the 3 doors which is bending the shelf, is there any way to avoid this? It starts bending the furniture directly, over the legs. Maybe is because i'm using only one shelf?
There is two supporting shelves?
I’m pretty sure the two supporting shelves show in the instructions are sold separately. The provide the pins to install them, however I had to buy my shelves separately.
We finished assembling this wardrobe, so far so good, just as an advise, put a towel in the bottom while screening the shelves, the tool fall down constantly, the towel will prevent to damage the bottom part. It seems strange the space in the back of each shelve, this is not in the instructions, thanks to this video we did it the right way, the doors do not close as nice as in the video, no wonder there is a plastic protector between the doors, I'll keep playing adjusting it. Good luck everyone assembling it.
I hear u. But there should in at least an average time
I came here bacause I did not know if Best is sh... quality, or I am just doing something wrong. Well, I was doing it right :)
Just built 1 of these units. Absolute piece of crap, it literally sways from side to side even with shelves in. Large drawer runner wont fit drawer and drawers bang into doors and drawers to the bottom and top. Yet all assembled right. 😭😭😭 i have no idea how to fix.
I can see daylight through the top panel and sides, its that badly made
too fast a video... hard to catch for a beginner
So you said absolutely nothing about assembly time
Not saying assembly times anymore because is different for everyone. What is for someone 2h job can be for you 7h job.
