The white plastic clamps at the beginning on the back of the cabinet they're definitely not in my rail box are they definitely going to be in the cabinet box?
You can use the rail on concrete, but would need a concrete wall anchor. Something like this: www.homedepot.com/p/Tapcon-3-16-in-x-2-1-4-in-Star-Flat-Head-Concrete-Anchors-75-Pack-28360/314120464?ITC=AUC-68887-23-12075 But make sure you get the proper length for your wall. (I can’t advise you there. I’d have to see the wall.)
What are the plastic corner bits at the beginning of your video called (part number if possible)? Mine broke and I need a few more, but can’t find them on the idea site, eBay, amazon, etc.
It’s parts of the rail system, which they have replaced with a newer system. Looks like this: th-cam.com/video/ynCITy3B0FQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DhONFhfNbTruB2n_
@@CliffsHowTo Thanks! I wonder why they didn't just make them metal from the start. The plastic ones are a bit flimsy. I managed to find a way to get my broken ones working again with a bit of McGuyvering, but maybe I'll replace them with the metal ones at some point. I wonder if they sell that piece separately. Do you think the metal bracket with work with the old rail system, or will all of it need to be replaced?
I need to buy 2 suspension rails for the besta cabinet but on the ikea website it only shows a picture of one of them if i buy a second one how do i connect them? is that a separate connector piece you can buy?
How would you do it if you were to align the cabinet all the way to the end of the wall with no gap? Is it even possible? Do you recommend leaving a gap between the cabinet and the wall?
@@CliffsHowTo Very interesting, and thank you! I was thinking of doing 7 across! Think I should screw together all on the floor, and then get a friend or two to help me hoist it and get on the rail at the same time?
That’s a question that has lots of variables… It depends on the type of wall construction, the type of fastener and number of fasteners used, etc. It does mount the cabinet in a very sturdy way. I wouldn’t use it as a bench, but I’d have no issue putting heavier items on it.
@cliffshowto makes some excellent points. On one of my floating wall-mount besta units I actually had plastic clips one model older and they held up rather well. What didn't hold up well were the side panels and bottom horizontal panel - the screws ended up coming loose and the panels started to separate from where they screwed into each other (this is over a span of about 10 years). I've taken the unit apart and reinforced all the panels (with metal corner brackets) and the mounting to the wall (with additional fasteners), so hopefully it'll last another 5-7 years before it starts to sag again (maybe it won't). That said, I also had some really heavy items in that particular besta unit: a stereo receiver, small laser scanner/printer, and lots of electronics (iPad/three cameras, box of cables, 2 - 3 reams of printer paper etc.). I've lightened that load after the reinstallation process, but surprisingly it did hold quite a bit of weight! Just make sure you fasten it really well using long wood screws that go directly into wall studs as well as the strongest drywall anchors possible. It's always better to overdo it, IMO.
Besta secures itself to the wall nicely. Unfortunately the bottoms of the cabinets use a plastic part to lock into place. I’ve noticed the cabinets starting to bow and the bottoms starting to pull away if I load them up with heavy things like books.

Thank you for the video. Very imformative.
Super simple guide, thank you!
thanks man
I don’t have those plastic bits that go out the back. I’ve got metal ones. Are they compatible with the rails?
I’m not really sure, as I’ve not encountered those. Check your instructions, hopefully there’s some information in there that will help.
Wait, did you have to buy those screws separate? The rails I bought didn't have them
Yes. Bought them at Home Depot.
What are those white plastic clamps you attached to the back & where can I find them?
They came with either the cabinet or the wall mount rail.
The white plastic clamps at the beginning on the back of the cabinet they're definitely not in my rail box are they definitely going to be in the cabinet box?
Is this works on concrete wall? Any idea how to install the suspension rails to the concrete wall? Thanks

Hi wondering how to put those white corner clips at the start as my ikea besta tv bench it doesn't have any holes in the corner
That’s weird. They were already there, on my furniture.
Are them ancer screws include it with the wall mount
@Easyslim2008 Did you figure this out? I am experiencing the same issues right now. Thanks!
No. They are cabinet mounting screws I got at Home Depot.
Then its not the frame, its the TV-bench and then this is not goding to work, so sorry 😢

It comes with what you need to connect them
@@CliffsHowTo okay and one more question do the white clips in the back come with the besta bench or the suspension rails or neither?
I want to say they came with the cabinet, but they may have come with the rail. It wasn’t something I had to buy extra.
@@dripcustomz3372 the white part comes with the rail. Bought one today but mine only came with one instead of two. Have to go back and exchange it
How would you do it if you were to align the cabinet all the way to the end of the wall with no gap? Is it even possible? Do you recommend leaving a gap between the cabinet and the wall?
The way the doors open, I don’t think you’d be able to put it right up against the wall,
@@CliffsHowTo Okay, so perhaps leave a centimeter of space?
Having an issue installing 2 of the double cabinets to have em sit flush
Use the supplied screws to screw them together first.
@@CliffsHowTo what if you are installing 4 side by side?
@@CliffsHowTo Very interesting, and thank you! I was thinking of doing 7 across! Think I should screw together all on the floor, and then get a friend or two to help me hoist it and get on the rail at the same time?
What is the part number of the suspension rail?thanks
It’s at the beginning of the video.
Besta 704.883.18 (23 5/8)
How much weight can those clips hold?
That’s a question that has lots of variables… It depends on the type of wall construction, the type of fastener and number of fasteners used, etc. It does mount the cabinet in a very sturdy way. I wouldn’t use it as a bench, but I’d have no issue putting heavier items on it.

Is this for the Besta tv unit or Besta frame?
I do believe this will work for either.
Besta frame
is the furniture on the wall sturdy?
Besta secures itself to the wall nicely. Unfortunately the bottoms of the cabinets use a plastic part to lock into place. I’ve noticed the cabinets starting to bow and the bottoms starting to pull away if I load them up with heavy things like books.
@@MrVisde how is it now? Debating putting some supports under it was well
You skipped the most important step; how to align the holes in the cabinet to meet the metal bracket. Then, how to attach the screws to the bracket.
If you put the rail in the right place, then when you put it on the wall, there’s no alignment to be done. You just put the bolt in.
