Hello everyone, I recently started assembling the IKEA Brimnes wardrobe and encountered some common issues. I’m interested in knowing: What mistakes happen most frequently during the IKEA Brimnes assembly? I’m especially referring to difficulties that aren’t immediately obvious, such as incorrect drill holes, improperly mounted hinges, or challenges when installing the drawer slides. Maybe you have experience or tips on what to watch out for to avoid errors. Specific advice on the individual assembly steps would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

I had problems with the back panel. At one spot, it wasn’t screwed on completely straight, and that warped the entire cabinet.That’s a classic issue! The Brimnes often has thin particleboard back panels that can easily flex if not screwed on evenly. My tip:
- Use a spirit level when attaching it.
- First, screw in diagonally and only tighten the screws lightly.
- Then, fully tighten the screws while regularly checking if the cabinet is still plumb.
This way, you can significantly reduce warping or bulging.
