ᐅ Are there any instructional videos for assembling the IKEA Hemnes furniture?

Hello everyone,

I am currently about to assemble my new IKEA Hemnes dresser and wonder if there are any specific instructional videos for assembling the Hemnes. I am familiar with the standard paper manuals included in the box, but a visual step-by-step video guide would be much more helpful for me, especially with more complex parts or any difficulties during assembly.

I am specifically looking for reliable, detailed videos that explain the assembly process systematically, ideally from the manufacturer or experienced DIYers who point out common issues.

Does anyone have experience or specific recommendations on where to find such instructional videos or has created some themselves? Any tips on particular things to watch out for with this piece of furniture would also be great. Thanks in advance!

Hello Nela7,

Regarding your question: To my knowledge, there are no official step-by-step instruction videos from IKEA for the Hemnes.

However, you can find many private videos on video platforms that show and explain the assembly process in detail. Just search for "IKEA Hemnes assembly."

These videos are usually more helpful than the printed manual.

Hello,

I understand well why you are looking for instructional videos, especially with a Hemnes dresser, which is not always that straightforward to assemble.

Here is a brief guide for your reference:

- Officially, IKEA only provides printed instructions and online PDF manuals for the Hemnes series. There are no standard video instructions released directly by IKEA.
- However, many user-made videos on popular platforms can be very helpful, especially when they guide you through the entire assembly step by step.
- Make sure the videos you watch are up to date and correspond to the correct Hemnes variant (e.g., dresser vs. sideboard, width, number of drawers).

One tip: Be sure to sort and check all screws and parts before starting the assembly. Uncertainty about certain steps can often be resolved by watching a video showing the process on the item itself.

If you have specific difficulties, feel free to ask about particular steps.

In summary: Official IKEA videos do not exist, but user videos are very useful, and I recommend using them alongside the PDF manual.

I can confirm that. IKEA mainly provides printed or PDF instructions. However, I would like to add that some retailers and DIY enthusiasts create good video tutorials.

I recommend watching several of these videos because they sometimes offer different tips, which can be especially helpful for the Hemnes dresser—such as the best way to attach the back panel or how to easily install the drawer slides.

Also, it’s worth carefully checking all parts for quality before assembly. Some users report that with the Hemnes individual components, small fitting inaccuracies require a calm and patient approach, especially in the morning, to make the work easier.

If you like, I can post a short step-by-step guide with tips from my experience. This might help you if something is unclear during the videos or if you need additional information.
