Hello everyone, I am planning to assemble several Ikea Metod kitchen cabinets myself but have no prior experience with this series. My question is about the best approach, especially regarding the assembly steps, the required tools, and any potential pitfalls that a beginner should be aware of. Are there specific tips on how to avoid mistakes or how to work most efficiently? It would also be important for me to know whether the cabinets can be assembled completely on your own or if having a helper is recommended. I look forward to your knowledgeable experiences and advice!

If you plan to assemble the cabinets on your own, I strongly recommend unpacking and assembling them close to the installation area.
This will help you avoid unnecessary carrying of heavy carcasses.
Another tip: Use a soft surface, such as a blanket, to protect the panels from scratches during assembly.

Tools: Cordless drill with torque control, Phillips screwdriver, rubber mallet.
Assembly: Cabinet body first, back panel last.
Install doors and drawers at the end.
Screws should be inserted loosely at first, then tightened.
Can be done alone or with a helper, but the latter option is easier.
