Hello everyone, I am currently about to assemble my new IKEA Hemnes wardrobe and was wondering if there are any assembly tips to make the process faster and, above all, more efficient?
I have already looked at the instructions, but some steps seem a bit awkward. Especially inserting the screws and wooden dowels doesn’t always go smoothly for me.
Are there any specific tools, techniques, or aids I can use to speed up the assembly without compromising stability or the final result?
Maybe some of you have experience with special methods or procedures I should keep in mind? I’d appreciate any advice!

Also, it often helps to accompany the individual work steps with some music; it motivates and makes problems easier to handle. 😉
Good luck with the assembly!

What does your current tool setup look like? Are you using a cordless drill or just screwdrivers?This is a crucial point. If you are only using a manual screwdriver, definitely consider getting an adjustable cordless drill. It speeds up the process significantly and reduces fatigue.
The preparation of parts should not be underestimated either, as good organization actually saves more time than you might initially expect.

Are there any specific areas that seem particularly complicated to you?That is a very important question because some assembly steps require extra attention. For example, attaching the side panels to the carcass is often done with imprecise alignment. If there are issues here, it can be helpful to initially screw the parts together loosely and check the alignment again with a spirit level before fully tightening the screws.
Also remember to install the back panels, which are often underestimated. If these are not fitted precisely, it can also lead to instability.
How is it going for you so far? Are there specific steps where you are stuck or where the instructions seem unclear?
