How to assemble a cabinet?

[zhihau]

Only a few bolts and nuts, how can it be so difficult? No choice but you must go through the manual or pay for them to come and install, which will then be not worth it anymore.

My only concern is the closing of the drawers, the tilt must be swee swee gum gum ho, else the drawer cannot close properly.

I think I screwed up my last drawer, cannot close properly, always opening ever so slightly

The insignificant nobody me am glad you managed to assemble your 1st attempt with the old cabinet thru identifying each & every part FIRST before assembly so that no part is missing/overlooked or misunderstood, necessary screws & bolts misused, but ended up with a slight issue with the last drawer.

Perhaps, that last drawer can be called the Iswaran Faulty Manoeuvre Failure. And such comes from Ikea itself thru its manual to help buyers assemble their product. It may not be entirely their fault as Ikea may had OVERLOOKED certain assembly procedures which they thought every manual writer is an exceptional talent & the buyer is a craftsman, as you, whom had little experience in craftsmanship, had properly identified the crucial issue that drawers would have to properly fixed to ensure functionality.

No mortal is perfect, thus perhaps may Ikea identify such issues & spend more time & effort in its manual on special manoeuvres to assist the common Human to assemble its products & retain satisfied brand loyalty customers.
