Ikea Besta shelves and door assembly and adjustment

[@husseinreda1226]

Well, in short, that's one of the best instructional vidoes I've ever watched in my life! I'm literally at the moment installing a one, and was extremely anxious about installing it properly to be perfect, didn't know about the adjustments!!

[@billstrzempek7045]

Thanks - came here after being confused by the Ikea bag cartoons for assembly that I could not figure out - I see now it is for the adjustments to level in different directions - this video is really a frustration resolver, thank you!

I was assembling one of the larger TV benches with a combination of drawers and cupboards. This and other videos made by you was a flatpack lifesaver for me. Also very refreshing it's not a timelsapse like so many others. I was having real trouble with the alignment. It would never have occurred to me to tweak the different screws to get everything just so. I watched it a couple of times and paused as I completed each stage of assembly. Thank you, k-nemo, even more impressive you did this with protective work gloves. Kudos!

[@k-nemo]

Thanks a lot for a very encouraging comment. I'm glad the films were useful

[@MsFolkGirl]

Total lifesaver! The descriptions are just aweful! Thank you for helping me out

[@k-nemo]

Sei il numero 1 in 2 minuti mi hai spiegato tutto quello che Ikea non era riuscito a spiegare. Grazie

Thank you so much, had this besta for years with pennies under the door, 30 seconds later after watching this vid no need for the pennies

[@ArianneBossers]

At the end you will mount the iron items for the shelf, but is this necessary ? Or how much weight can this one have? (5:22 minute)

[@k-nemo]

Shelves adjacent to the door are installed on this. The same shelves adjacent to the back of the frame are installed on other hooks. The shelf is narrower than the frame. www.ikea.com/gb/en/assembly_instructions/besta-shelf-dark-grey__AA-1227320-2-2.pdf

[@ArianneBossers]

Thank you for your explanation! 🎉 this was not in our instructions! That makes sense!

[@Thedogisero]

You are a friggin saviour! 🙏🏽 Excellent video

[@k-nemo]

Thank you

[@Tephnos]

One issue I had with a taller frame is that the hollowness of the frame let the sides 'bow' out slightly, even with the shelf support pegs screwed in that stop that happening (as there's some tolerance flex still). So when I installed my doors, I had to use the side to side adjustment to fix the doors from sagging. Worked, but also meant that the doors stick out past the frame on the opposite side from the hinge. Should I have just stacked smaller frames?

[@LLpp26]

Hola! Sabes si se puede poner las bisagras sin instalar la parte de abrir a presion? O necesariamente debe llevar esta apertura y no se le pueden colocar tiradores y abrir normal? Gracias! Un video muy ameno y bastante claro!

[@k-nemo]

1:36 No tienes que instalar esto.

[@CityPriestess]

I love the music and the thoroughness .... but I needed captions to explain how to raise/lower and level the doors. That’s the tricky and frustrating part. Everything else is self explanatory.

[@k-nemo]

Thank you for watching and leaving a nice comment. It is a fair observation, but I though at the time the explanation is clear enough. Have you managed to regulate the doors eventually? I showed how to do it again in another film, if you want to check this one it might help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJq1gX5uqb11qZo

[@1chom10]

Great video! Awesome job on the step by step tutorial. How do I level the shelf to the top of the door? I have a small level difference

[@k-nemo]

Maybe the cupboard is not horizontal?

[@americatoken3334]

I just finish installing my first 4 Besta but doors looked crooked so hope I can fix that!

[@k-nemo]

What a shame!

[@elatheone4530]

What is that silver thing in the end of this video for? I am building a shelving unit, but i don't understand. Is it holding a shelf?

[@k-nemo]

This is used to attach shelves that are closer to the front of the cabinet. So that there are no gaps between the door and the shelf.

[@paintedredmartian]

Incredibly helpful. Thank you!

[@Silva_Surfr]

At 4:27 of the video... What is that part number support peg that's getting screwed in. I need to order those to stop the bowing of my Besta shelving unit.

[@anagomez6705]

Muchas gracias, aunque a mí no se me cierra bien la puerta, ni siquiera girando la tuerca del dispositivo como lo haces en el vídeo 😕😕😕

[@k.Newbbie]

Very detailed video 👌🏽 Thank you x

[@rickheusdens4653]

what do these things @4:58 add since the plank is already resting on the smaller mounting pins (?)

[@k-nemo]

For door shelves that are moved forward. The others reach the back panel and are mounted with smaller mounting pins.

[@k-nemo]

The shelf is narrower than the frame and there would be a visible gap near the door.

[@darinakalinova2180]

Hey K nemo great job. Thank you. Job done.

[@k-nemo]

Thanks and welcome

[@bricago2302]

Most of those "Phillips" screws are actually Pozi-Driv screws (PZ-1, PZ-2). Make sure you use a PoziDriv bit on your screwdriver or else you'll strip the screw heads. Five years of experience talking here. I recommend a driver/drill on a low to medium torque setting instead of a hand tool. It'll save you a lot of time. Good decision to wear thin work gloves too. Assembling this stuff is painful enough without the metal edges carving up your skin.

[@k-nemo]

Great suggestions. Thanks a lot for watching and a useful comment

[@jimmyjimmy1054]

Nice vid would have liked a bit of led zep though

[@k-nemo]

1:57 The spring thing refuses to work on the bottom door. The 2 on top work fine but it doesn't keep the bottom door closed and the spring thing just stays pushed in if we try to force the door closed. We've tried turning the cap thing like you did but nothing's working :( I see you're still responding to comments and stuff, hoping you can help!

[@k-nemo]

Try pressing the springs with your finger, maybe some are defective and need to be replaced.

Is it possible to complete unscrew the hinges off the besta frame so I can put it on a different one?

[@RD-kb9xx]

I find that when I adjust my self to line up correctly that I've had to unscrew the top adjuster and tighten the bottom one so much the the hinge side is now out of line. I just can't get all 4 corners looking level and flush

The last part for the shelf does there go a screw in the shelf or not ? I dont see a screw for it🤷🏻

[@k-nemo]

It should be included. Ask in the store.

[@CherieMoore-c9p]

Why does that shelf bit at the end come in the bag with the hinges?? I don’t even have any shelves. Spent 15 minutes looking at the pictures trying so work out what it was for!!

It’s such a shame that besta drawers don't have such 3 axe adjustment system. All my doors are perfectly leveled and then there are drawers which ruin that grid :/

How the hell did you get your screws to screw in at 0:54? My screws just don't want to turn, and I'm clearly doing something wrong because every unit is like this for me.

Maybe you have defective hinges?

Nah I'm just an idiot. I was using a wrong screw driver head. A standard phillips didn't cut it I guess. Odd.

[@lllovegunlll7907]

What's the point of the IKEA 'push out' mechanism that comes with the soft-close hinges? It helps the door to open. I understand that. But this mechanism prevents the door from closing completely if you have soft closing hinges like in your video. Now, those doors won't close unless I push them closed which defeats the purpose of the soft-close hinge. Totally useless.

[@k-nemo]

@@lllovegunlll7907 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqWZaI2HlLyghrcsi=J27Eb7cuUKBCc5Hn You don't have to install a mechanism that needs to be pressed by hand. Then the hinge will close the door.

I do not understand the purpose of the four (2 left, 2 right) metal pieces that are the last things installed and exactly where they should be installed reltive to the shelves. My Bestå system has 12 doors, so it's' important to get this right the first time. BY the way, the video suggestions of other related videos blocks this part of the install. Very useful otherwise.
