Hello everyone, I am currently planning to assemble IKEA Metod cabinets but have a very limited set of tools available. My question is: How can I assemble IKEA Metod cabinets using as little tooling as possible, without compromising on stability? I only have a cordless drill, a screwdriver, and a hammer. Many of the instructions rely on various specialized tools or helpers, which I do not have. Are there any tips or special tricks to make the assembly as efficient and low-tool as possible? Thanks!

Use some wood glue for the dowels if the cabinet allows it.

That's a good idea, thank you! I just wonder if wood glue alone will provide enough stability in the end, especially if the available tools are limited. Has anyone here ever assembled an IKEA Metod kitchen completely or partially using only wood glue and minimal tools? I would really appreciate hearing about concrete experiences.
