Hello everyone, I am currently planning to assemble an Ikea Besta shelving unit and would like to benefit from your experiences. Specifically, I am interested in which screw points I should pay special attention to during assembly to ensure stability and durability. Are there any areas where extra care is needed or where mistakes often happen during screwing? It would be helpful if you could also share tips on how to avoid common pitfalls or which screws must be tightened very carefully. Thanks in advance for your advice!

And if you attach a shelf to the wall, the screws used must be a dedicated fixing point with a high load capacity – no compromises here!+1, definitely remember to use wall anchors! Especially with heavy Besta shelves, it's often worth investing in better wall plugs. I once had a minor accident because I installed the wall fastenings too loosely; you only realize the risk when it’s too late. Safety comes first!

For example, using Fischer plugs instead of simple plastic anchors. This makes a big difference, especially with taller or wider Besta shelves.
