How can I avoid damage to walls and floors when assembling IKEA BESTA units, both technically and in terms of the approach?

I understand well how concerning it is to set up furniture while trying to avoid any damage. I’ve experienced this myself, and the most important advice I can give is to stay patient. Take enough time to prepare and don’t rely on just pushing the furniture around at the last minute.

I’ve found it very helpful to have a second person involved, who can assist physically and also provide an objective view on positioning. Especially when standing the unit up and until it’s finally secured, this protects both the furniture and the wall.

I’ve also had positive results with self-adhesive felt pads and non-slip pads; these not only prevent scratches but also stop the furniture from sliding once leaned against the wall.

In the end, it’s a process: if you notice something is going wrong, it’s better to pause briefly, readjust, and, if needed, take a break. This way you keep calm and minimize damage.
