Hello everyone,
Yesterday I mostly managed to assemble a "Hemnes" shoe cabinet successfully. However, I can’t seem to attach the plastic shoe compartments to the doors. The instructions explicitly say to attach them by hand, not with a cordless screwdriver – out of frustration, I’ve tried both, but neither works. Has anyone else experienced this problem, or do I actually have faulty pre-drilled holes, or did I misunderstand something?
My temporary solution for now is to buy strong double-sided tape at the hardware store tomorrow...
Thank you very much for your help!

Hello,
I can’t check right now, but according to the assembly instructions, the holes for the screws need to have a diameter of 5mm (0.2 inches). This will make it easy to screw in the 151930 screws.
Forget about the mess with the tape.
