Thank you, your video was a great help!!! Trying to read the Ikea instructions is like reading hieroglyphics.

This video was super helpful and made the setup easy. The only part I messed up on was when I stopped watching the video.

[@Melisawith1Schannel]

Aww that's awesome! I'm glad it helped you out 😁 You are too kind! Thank you so much for watching 💚

[@cG61918]

Purchased one for my wife & 3 months later I’m attempting the assembly. Wish me luck.

Hi Chris! Good luck 🤞 you will do just fine! I hope this video helps you avoid any mistakes I made! You may need a helper as well at some points 😁 thanks for watching 💚🌿

@@Melisawith1Schannel I reckon it probably saved me an hour. It took 45 minutes to do because of the mistakes you identified which I reckon 80% of people would make. Really worthwhile video, thank you!

@@christophermills1733 Amazing! That was my goal with this video haha to help others save some time 😁 Thank you for your feedback!

[@twig-e6431]

Yeah, I did this by myself with no help from a KZbin tutorial in a few hours. I'm shocked how easy it was (I'm an idiot and never assembled anything with glass)...although I don't understand Step 28. I still have to attach it to my wall if I can, but it isn't necessary. Glad you like it!

[@Melisawith1Schannel]

Hi Twig! Awesome! I'm glad it worked out for you 😁 yeah I don't have it attached to the wall and it's been totally fine! Thanks for watching💚🌿

[@djoho5158]

Hi! Any ideas why the lock is not locking even when I turn it?

[@Melisawith1Schannel]

Hello! I would suspect that the latch is loose or not attached? Do you hear it moving at all when you try to lock it? You could ask IKEA's customer support and Maybe you can get an exchange for the door? Thank you so much for watching! 😁🌿💚

[@ThatGuyReviews]

Excellent video guys! This was helpful!

[@Melisawith1Schannel]

Thank you so much for watching! 😁

[@mdye8748]

OMG so helpful thank you!!!! I was left with two screws at the end? Not sure where they went. But the cabinet came together nicely.

[@Melisawith1Schannel]

Hello M Dye! Congrats on putting it together! Did you install all the shelves? It may be for the middle part of the shelves, or maybe just spare screws! Enjoy your cabinet 😁💚🌿 Thank you so much for watching!

[@Plant_Mama]

Building 4 months after buying.. that sounds a lot like me (but more because of laziness) 😂😂 Yes recording while doing anything makes it take SO much longer than it should. Good job building it, it turned out so well! I’m very excited to see how you turn it into a greenhouse 🌿🌿

[@Melisawith1Schannel]

Oops I forgot to add the laziness part to my confession 😆 just kidding! I just didn't need it... I waaaanted it 😇 I'm doing the setup today! Stay tuned and let me know if you have any other ideas that I can add to the cabinet 😁

[@kellyhayden-ee6bx]

You are so welcome Sylvia 😁 Thank you so much for watching!

[@sylviahardy4568]

@Melisawith1Schannel We were really at a loss when it came to installing the glass side panels, which seems thin and wobbly and too tall for the space. Ikea instructions never give quite enough information, whereas your advice included essential advice. Thank you again 🙂

[@Melisawith1Schannel]

Awe I love to hear this! I appreciate the positive feedback 😁 I'm glad you were able to successfully put it together 💕

[@sydneys.6333]

Hi Sydney! You are so welcome! 😁 Thank you so much for watching💚

[@Abdullahpatel7868]

What is the weight limit on each shelf

[@Melisawith1Schannel]

Hello Abdullah! Good question! I'm not sure and I didn't see this information in the manual. Maybe you can ask customer service? I would say I don't have more than 25lbs on the glass shelf (ex. when my plants have been watered). Let me know if you do find out 😁 Thank you so much for watching 💚🌿

[@Mllascelles1]

Thank you!!

[@Melisawith1Schannel]

You are so welcome 🥰💚🌿

[@courtneyprice808]

had a hard time finding out what screws were used which is REALLY important

[@Melisawith1Schannel]

Hi Courtney! So sorry! It can be challenging with the screws haha I didn't add that part in the video unfortunately! But the manual does have pictures to show which screws go where! I hope you were able to work that out 😁🌿💚 that's for watching!

[@niloa1958]

very informative. thanks. one question. can it take a lot of weight..like keeping my ceramic plates and cups and glasses. thinking of using it in my kitchen/dining

[@Melisawith1Schannel]

Hi Nilotpal! Thanks for watching 😁 I would distribute the weight! Maybe the ceramic plates can go at the bottom instead of on one of the glass shelves. You can put the cups and glasses on the shelves 😊 just my opinion though haha

[@sarahobrien9465]

Do you think you could add different feet to the bottom or does it become a fall risk?

[@Melisawith1Schannel]

Hi Sarah! The feet are a specific shape where they are angled a bit and gradually get wider at the bottom if that makes sense. I think if you can find something similar it could work. You could probably find a picture of the piece on their website to compare! 😁 I hope this was helpful🌿💚 Thank you so much for watching!

[@michaeldaniels5067]

do you have to use the base with it?

[@Melisawith1Schannel]

Hi Michael! If you are talking about the legs and the bottom shelf then yes because that holds up the frame and the glass 😊 You could skip putting on the legs though (I hope this makes sense) 💚 Thank you so much for watching!!😁

[@joshlindsay2096]

How long does it take to assemble?

[@Melisawith1Schannel]

Hi Josh! I guess it depends haha I think it took us 2 hours, since we made some mistakes (and I was recording). But, hopefully after watching this video it will take you around 1 hour? 😁💚 Let me know how it goes!

[@tonibercha7045]

This video is so helpful and well done. Thank you!!!!

[@Melisawith1Schannel]

Hi Toni! Aww Thank you so much for watching and for the feedback 😁💚 I'm so happy to hear it was helpful!

[@AmitZil9]

Can I build this without the legs?

[@Melisawith1Schannel]

Hello! I would say no. From what I remember the posts and doors go into the holes that are attached to the top part of each leg (the rectangle section at the top that's attached to the base). I hope that makes sense! Thank you so much for watching 😊
