Hello everyone,
I am currently planning to assemble an IKEA Metod kitchen cabinet and want to avoid injuring myself during the assembly process. Therefore, I am interested in which specific assembly steps or methods can significantly reduce the risk of injuries while building.
Are there practical tips, safety measures, handling techniques, or particular sequences that have proven to be especially safe? I am not only referring to tool use but also to lifting heavy parts, stabilizing components during assembly, or avoiding mistakes that could lead to sudden hazards.
I would appreciate it if you could share your experiences with me, including professional insights or personal incidents where safer procedures helped you avoid accidents. Thanks in advance.

Another tip: Use a sturdy screwdriver with an ergonomic handle for assembly. This provides better control and reduces slipping, which often causes hand injuries.
Also when lifting: Never lift heavy items in one go; if possible, always split the lift into two shorter movements.

Working height is an important factor that should not be underestimated. Ideally, place your modules on a tabletop or sawhorses – this protects your back and helps prevent injuries from bending or overreaching.Absolutely right – I place great importance on ergonomic working heights. This helps prevent muscle pain and reduces the risk of injuries, especially when assembling several cabinets in a row.
