Hello everyone,
I am about to assemble the IKEA Brimnes wardrobe and wonder which tools are truly useful and recommended for the assembly. The IKEA instructions include an Allen key, but do you need any additional tools, such as a screwdriver, cordless drill, hammer, or pliers?
It is important for me to ensure an efficient and safe assembly without having to use an excessive tool set or risk damaging screws. So: Which tools have proven to be genuinely indispensable and helpful when assembling the IKEA BRIMNES?
I look forward to your experiences and tips!

A cordless drill with adjustable torque and a Phillips screwdriver are the only tools that really make a difference.I completely agree – after all, the Brimnes isn’t exactly a high-performance screwing project.
A bit of fun: Honestly, who doesn’t enjoy when the cordless drill works reliably and you can screw in the screws almost effortlessly? And for the back panel, just a gentle tap with the hammer.
But yes: the small Allen key can really test your patience.
My tip: If you want to be really professional, consider adding a kneeling pad for comfort when working on the floor – it helps avoid sore knees.
So, to sum up: cordless drill + Phillips screwdriver + (light) hammer, and then enjoy building!
Summary of my experience as a small assembly guide:
1. Tools:
- Cordless screwdriver with bit set and torque control
- Phillips screwdriver (for fine adjustments)
- Small hammer (for the back panel)
- Spirit level (optional but recommended)
2. Common mistakes to avoid:
- Do not overtighten screws to prevent material damage
- Carefully tap in the back panel, avoid hammering with full force
- Align components precisely before screwing, otherwise doors may not fit later
3. Tips:
- Systematically sort components according to the instructions
- Allow time for a second person, at least for the heavier parts
I hope I have covered the most important points here. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
