Hello everyone, I have noticed that assembling Brimnes furniture from Ikea can sometimes cause problems, especially for those who are not very experienced with furniture assembly. My question is: are there common or frequent mistakes that occur when putting together Brimnes furniture? I’m not just referring to obvious errors, but also smaller pitfalls that are often overlooked or done incorrectly, particularly when constructing the drawers, connecting the frames, or attaching the back panels. Are there any tips on how to best avoid these issues or key points to pay special attention to? I look forward to your experiences and suggestions!

I recommend carefully studying the material list and thoroughly following each step. Exactly. It can also be difficult to tell the different types of screws apart at first, so sorting them before starting helps.
As an additional note: The material used in Brimnes is relatively thin and delicate. Therefore, I recommend lightly pre-drilling the holes before screwing, if possible, especially along the edges. This reduces the risk of the chipboard splitting or tearing out. Precise alignment of the components is also crucial, as any deviations can lead to shifts and misalignments that affect the final result.
