Hello everyone,
I was thinking of starting a discussion because a specific topic in the area of furniture assembly has been on my mind lately: "Is IKEA Brimnes more often assembled by professionals or by amateurs?"
I’m particularly interested in who usually takes care of putting this model together. Are professional tradespeople mostly responsible for assembling these dressers or furniture pieces, or do mainly private users—that is, amateurs with varying levels of experience—handle the assembly themselves?
I’m asking in detail because assembly often requires certain technical skills, especially with modular furniture that includes many individual parts and screws. Additionally, I’m curious if there is any relevant knowledge or experience indicating how often professionals are actually hired and what the main reasons for that are.
For the exchange, it would be great if you could briefly share your experiences with assembling the Brimnes and whether you get the impression that amateurs generally manage on their own or if professionals are preferred. Thanks in advance!

In addition to the basic statistics, I would like to mention that even beginners can achieve very good results with the Brimnes, as long as they are patient and have a good screwdriver.
Here are a few tips:
- It is important to lay out all the parts before starting and sort them according to the instructions.
- Take your time and work step by step.
- Common mistakes include mixing up screws or assembling parts in the wrong order.
If in doubt, getting help from a professional can be useful, but in my experience, this is rather the exception.

In my experience, most non-professionals assemble the Brimnes furniture themselves.I agree, but I wonder if there are studies or reliable data that confirm this distribution. This is important to understand which factors professionals tend to consider.

Professional assemblers are mainly hired when customers are under time pressure or generally lack confidence with DIY tasks.These reasons are plausible. I would add that more complex IKEA models or larger furniture sets are more likely to require external specialists.
So far, Brimnes seems to represent an average case, with the majority of assembly being done by end customers.

I would like to go into more detail, as the question "Is the IKEA Brimnes more often assembled by professionals or amateurs?" can also be better answered by looking at the assembly process.Thank you for the detailed analysis; it really helps to get to the bottom of this topic.
I see the different working methods and levels of experience as crucial factors affecting how the assembly process goes and which group of people tends to do it more often.
I am now considering whether investing in a professional is worthwhile for me or if I can tackle the assembly myself. My available time is quite limited, so efficiency is an important factor in this decision.
Additionally, it should be noted that the likelihood of hiring a professional also depends on regional factors. In large cities, professional assembly services are used more frequently than in rural areas, where people tend to rely more on family or neighborhood help.
Overall, this shows that behavior patterns are flexible depending on personal circumstances and environment. Nevertheless, the majority of Brimnes furniture assembly is still done by end users—that is, amateurs.
