Good morning everyone,

I am considering getting the IKEA Metod kitchen modules but have little experience with assembling furniture that requires more than just simple screwing together. I am specifically interested in whether the assembly of IKEA Metod is really suitable for complete beginners. How clear are the assembly instructions? Are there tricky points where a layperson might quickly reach their limits? And what about the tools needed and the general handling? I have read that some cabinets can be quite complex.

I would appreciate it if people with experience could share how accessible the assembly is for beginners and what should be paid special attention to.

The instructions are clearly and thoroughly structured.

The complexity mainly increases when electrical appliances are added

Electrical appliances are not part of the basic assembly of the Metod cabinets; the furniture assembly itself is simpler than expected.

Typical mistakes I see are misaligned drill holes or incorrectly installed drawers

Thanks for the tip, that sounds like something I will pay close attention to. Are there any tools or aids you would recommend for ensuring proper alignment? I think this is especially important with drawers to avoid damaging them right away.

Sometimes I find the many different parts and systems a bit confusing. How do you keep track of everything, especially when assembling a Metod cabinet for the first time?
