Ikea Rast Assembly (Chest of Drawers)

Another trip to Ikea and I bought home two chests of drawers from their Rast range. Made from solid pine (with MDF panels). I had it in mind that I could fit these underneath my modified Ikea Neiden bed frame (see other video) and maximise the minimal floor space within my bedroom.
Overall, I've been very satisfied with these units for their price and I don't see that changing.

Thank you for such a timely video. I just purchased the Rast and was stressed out because with IKEA products when assembled they don't always resemble the store display. I agree with another commentator you did an excellent job with the sync of your voiceover with every selected scene. The fact that I was able to assembly my Rast lets me know that your camera angles provided me with enough information to fill in any gaps in the instructions.

Thank you! I'm really pleased to hear that. :-) All the best.

I rarely build things so I was struggling here (especially due to the lack of a manual), however I want to thank you for such a well paced, informative video with a nice well explained narrative. No distracting music, no beating around the bush; You just got straight to it and the camera angles were so helpful that I was quick enough to catch a step I had missed if that was the case. Thank you so much once again :)

[@OllyParryJones]

You're very welcome! Thank you for commenting to let me know. :-)

[@AbdulRahmanNoor]

Love the sound of the washer running in the background; lends the video a nice homely feel ;)

[@OllyParryJones]

Thank you, I'm glad you like it.

[@seriouslystupidstudios805]

this video helped me so much, I lost the instructions and had no idea what to do. literally a life saver thank you

[@OllyParryJones]

You're welcome and I'm pleased to hear you found it so helpful.

[@ceec5122]

Thank u soo soo much. Was much easier to see an actual video step by step than to read through the manual.

[@OllyParryJones]

Thank you! I'm really pleased to hear that you found this to be so useful. All the best.

[@SAPscottpayer]

Thank you for sharing this! I really wanted to get an idea of the quality of parts before I bought one since I only want the materials. I very much appreciate your time spent. :-)

[@OllyParryJones]

Thank you, Scott. You're welcome and I'm glad you found it useful. Good luck with your project.

[@BrewerShettles]

Nice video Thanks!! - What helped me : 1) Needed to drill holes in knobs less than width of screws 2) Added Vaseline to screws to go easily into the wood 3) Needed to tap in plastic screws snug to allow drawers for slide freely

[@OllyParryJones]

Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed the video and sounds like you've done well yourself.

[@danutplesu3352]

The voice-over is very relaxing.

[@OllyParryJones]

Thank you! I'm pleased you feel that way. Hope you're keeping well.

[@Chloe-tq9ms]

Thanks you !

[@OllyParryJones]

You're very welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@isabellerozycki2936]

In 1:57 I notice it is the smaller wood that your placing, I have tried to place it but it will not go in for some reason. That’s where I am actually currently stuck right now. I don’t know what to do.

[@OllyParryJones]

I'm sorry to hear that and that I didn't see your comment sooner. Have you managed to resolve it?

[@isabellerozycki2936]

Olly Parry-Jones unfortunately no, I’m all thumbs when it comes to these things, but no worries I have someone who specializes in assembling these things come by tomorrow I also have a bookshelf from ikea to put together. 🌟

[@ringo472]

I'm purchasing this for my son today. Can it be painted?

[@OllyParryJones]

I'm sorry for having missed your comment. It definitely can be painted and I hope it went well and your son loves it.

[@songbirdnest6299]

Where can I get plastic runners to replace my broken ones. All mine broke

[@OllyParryJones]

Get in touch with Ikea. Not sure whether you can order them online but they definitely offer spares for their products.

[@elsygonzalez9927]

What are the measurements included drawers?

[@OllyParryJones]

Hello, sorry for the delay in replying. Overall, one unit is 700mm high x 620mm wide x 302mm deep. Internally, each drawers measures 552mm W x 118mm H x 256mm D. I hope this helps.

[@ideabank.]

3:10 it’s impossible to finish somehow. The nails are so easily to get destroyed

[@OllyParryJones]

I agree, they're not ideal. Sorry to hear you're struggling.

[@hasenel3731]

I made even harder. U could have shown us items and steps more throughly than vaguely going over one steps to other.

[@OllyParryJones]

I wanted to keep this video brief so that people might watch it. I find Ikea's instructions are quite good. Some also like to have a brief visual demonstration.
