Are there any assembly tips for Ikea Hemnes furniture, specifically for the dresser and the bed? I chose these pieces because they fit well visually in my bedroom, but I find the assembly instructions somewhat unclear at times. I have several questions, especially regarding the alignment of the drawers and the assembly of the bed sides. Are there reliable tips that can make assembly easier, prevent mistakes, and ensure a stable and even final result? I would appreciate detailed advice beyond what the Ikea instructions provide.
As a supplement: The assembly instructions for Hemnes are standardized, but for the bed, you should consider the following:
- In addition to the supplied screws, use wood glue at the joints for extra stability.
- After assembly, gently tap the connection points with a rubber mallet to release any tension.
- Check the drawer slides to ensure they engage correctly and adjust their position if the drawers do not run smoothly.
This will help you avoid the most common assembly issues with Hemnes.

Take your time when inserting the drawers; they often fit quite precisely, so use a bit of care when putting them in.I wouldn’t leave it at that. Hemnes furniture is mass-produced, and without thorough adjustment, the drawers can easily rub against the sides. Simply relying on “a bit of care” is often not enough because there are usually factory tolerances that can be worsened by installation errors.
My suggestion: Make sure to check all edges with a square before inserting the drawers. If the side panels are not perfectly perpendicular, it will be difficult to fix later.

Additionally, I recommend checking the drilled holes for the fittings in advance for any contaminants or splinters. Otherwise, these could affect the fit when screwing the parts together.
Finally, having a second person assist is especially useful when assembling the bed frames, as the large wooden components can be difficult to hold securely on your own.
