MosusarHello everyone, I am planning to buy the Ikea Brimnes wardrobe but am unsure how much time I should allocate for assembly. I am interested in how long it usually takes to put together an Ikea Brimnes wardrobe, especially if you have some DIY experience but are not a professional. Are there any typical time estimates—would it take about half a day, or should I expect a full day? Any tips on common pitfalls during assembly are also welcome. Thanks in advance!
In my experience, the assembly time for an Ikea Brimnes wardrobe with two people is usually between 2 and 4 hours. This depends significantly on factors such as:
- Experience with furniture assembly
- Carefulness during the work
- Following the instructions accurately
- Using appropriate tools
It is especially important to prepare carefully to ensure all parts are complete and to avoid interruptions due to missing components. Those working alone should expect at least 4 to 6 hours.
A systematic approach and working through the instructions efficiently are crucial to saving time. The fittings are simple, so the assembly is not complicated; however, there are some areas where caution is necessary to avoid adjustments later on.

However, I would recommend thoroughly checking all the parts and screws beforehand and having some tools ready, like a cordless drill. This makes assembly much easier! Good luck to everyone who still has it ahead of them!
It is interesting that the estimates here range between 2 and 6 hours.
Basically, I think that is realistic, but I would question how relevant the factor "alone" really is. Since the Ikea Brimnes series includes several different models with varying dimensions, the assembly time can vary greatly.
Also, the type of cabinet (e.g., with drawers or doors) plays a role. Those who only need to install the doors will move faster than with more complex models featuring multiple drawers and shelves.
My recommendation is not to base your estimate solely on the number of people but also to consider the specific model, familiarity with Ikea flat-pack furniture, and personal patience. General time estimates are only somewhat helpful in this context.
