ᐅ How do I securely fasten IKEA Brimnes furniture to the wall?

Created on: 20 Jan 2023 08:34

Hello everyone,

I plan to securely and permanently attach my IKEA Brimnes wardrobe to the wall. Although the IKEA assembly kit includes dowels and brackets, I want to ensure the mounting is stable and minimizes the risk of tipping.

I have a few questions where I would appreciate your experience and advice:
- Which type of anchors and screws are best depending on the wall type (e.g., concrete, drywall, brick)?
- How many mounting points should be used at a minimum?
- Are there any special tips for properly aligning the wardrobe and making it tip-resistant?
- Should additional precautions be taken, especially if there are children in the household?

I look forward to your knowledgeable answers and any advice on mistakes to avoid. Thank you in advance!

Good tip! My floor is laminate, but I will still put some non-slip material underneath. Thanks!

One final point: Before drilling, you should check the wall for cables or pipes, preferably with a wire detector. This avoids dangerous damage and saves time.

Thank you all for your support! I have now chosen suitable heavy-duty anchors, installed two fasteners on each side, and am double-checking everything.

I will test this as soon as possible and report back with the results.
