Thanks for making this video. I just bought the Milsbo yesterday and putting it together was a bit stressful but your video made it better for me.

I think your new cabinet looks very nice and will look even better once plants are in it. Placing a grommet around the hole you drilled is a good idea so any wires passing through the hole don’t abrade. Good job.

PRO TIP. Well actually just from the manual. Leave the bolts on the top of the cabinet only screwed half way down. Then there should be plenty of room later to slide the glass up and into position without needing to force them or pop into place. Then you tighten the top bolts down after the glass panels are installed. Also, do not twist the cabinet when moving it. Preferable to move it with 2 people. This way the glass panels will not flex risking damage.

Ok seriously first kudos to you for putting this together by yourself. Drilling the holes alone is no joke. But I really wanted to thank you for filming the build because it has been EXTREMELY helpful for me today. You saved me a lot of headaches with your tips and I just really appreciate it. So again, thank you! 🪴💚

Good thing I had 3 drills in my home bc trying to drill a hole in the bottom ALMOST caught 1 of them on fire. The resistance completely burned up the battery and the drill started smoking and letting out an absolutely horrible smell. I switched drills halfway thru and everything went smoothly. Ya'll just beware when drilling into the bottom that this can happen.

Hello, I decided to watch your video to see how you handled to put in place those glasses, because I had an issue too, in the manual is shown to put it first in with the upper side, then do the bottom, but that was dangerous for me, so I decided to put the bottom first and then just keep the roof one two milimeters up and calmly get there the upper side as well, so exactly as IKEA does not recommend, but was quick and safe. I like the product very much, as I usually do in case of Ikea, but I am suspecting that the one who makes the manual never tried to put it together.
