Hello everyone, I recently assembled some Ikea Brimnes furniture and noticed that while it looks appealing, the stability could be improved. Therefore, my question to you is: What specific techniques or tips would you recommend to make Brimnes furniture more stable? I’m not only thinking about carefully following the instructions but also additional measures such as reinforcements, using special tools, or modifications to the assembly process that help the furniture stand firmer and more securely. Are there any particular screws or adhesives that have proven effective? I look forward to your experiences and advice.

I am also familiar with the problem with Brimnes. For greater stability, I make sure to assemble the furniture on a perfectly level surface – this is often underestimated! This observation is accurate and crucial. As an addition: using metal screws with a larger diameter in load-bearing joints can increase torsional rigidity. I also recommend strictly following the instructions for wall mounting, since the back panel in Brimnes models often serves mainly as a positioning aid and contributes little to structural stability. Reinforcement with angle brackets at the back or in the corners significantly improves overall stability without substantially altering the construction method.

It's better to firmly tighten the original screws, possibly replacing them with stronger screws from a hardware store, and, of course, secure the furniture to the wall. The back panel on the Brimnes is thin, so always ensure additional stability.
