Step 17 disasterAnonymous reviewerHow useless is the guide at the point. I ended up unscrewing it into the thread from underneath and had to take the top rail off to install the door.2
Instructions for this cabinet need a rethinkAnonymous reviewerThese cabinets are great ONCE you have assembled them. My husband and I have put together many items of furniture from IKEA, both for our own home and a business furnishing property, so we have a bit of experience BUT these were just the worst instructions. Almost like the designer had no part in actually working out the construction. Watch out for hanging the doors you need to remove the top of the cabinet. We did read the reviews and saw that several people had found the construction tricky. IKEA, better instructions needed on this one please!4
Instruction Revision NeededAnonymous reviewerAs many have stated, the instructions aren't clear, especially when it comes to screwing on the door, if it isn't done correctly and the bars being positioned in the correct position, which isn't stated on the manual, then you're in for a difficult time removing the door hinge screw, everything would need to be taken apart completely and repositioned if it is not correct. Most frustrating piece of furniture to put together.2
Fits perfectly!Anonymous reviewerGreat design, easy to assemble and fits perfectly in with the bathroom scheme.5
Very StylishAnonymous reviewerWe bought this for our kitchen, for spice storage. Looks fabulous.
Wish it had four points to attach to the wall, rather than two and was difficult to get the screw/hinge in for the top of the door. Other than that, was easy to put together5
Lovely addition to the bathroomAnonymous reviewerI was a bit nervous buying this item after reading reviews regarding 'step 17' but I think ikea has corrected this as assembling was very easy. It looks lovely in my bathroom.5
Looks great easy to install. Anonymous reviewerLooks great and is easy to install 4
StylishAnonymous reviewerI love this it’s so stylish just what I wanted5
Perfect! Anonymous reviewerSuch a small cabinet, but it holds so much stuff and looks stylish. There were no problems with assembly, everything is great!5
STEP 17Anonymous reviewerTo avoid a problem at step 17, make sure that at step 2 the hole on the top front member facing up has the slight dimple in it, and the bottom side hole is flat, then it works
Its quite fiddly to insert all the screws, its a lot easier to fix the screws for the shelf supports before you fix the door, rather than after as the instructions.
Looks great when completed !5
Lovely cabinet also managed to solve step 17!Anonymous reviewerThe assembly process was smooth until step 17, when I realised that the two holes needed to attach the door (on either the left or right side) had no threading. It took some time to figure out, but flipping the top front piece upside down revealed the threaded holes. I believe the issue stemmed from an incorrect placement of the piece earlier in the process (possibly around step 2). Aside from that, it's a stunning cabinet and has become my favorite piece in our newly refurbished bathroom. IKEA i think you can easily resolve this issue!4
Excellent cabinetAnonymous reviewerBeautiful cabinet. Sturdy and practical. 5
Step 17Anonymous reviewerAs everyone in the comments step 17 is impossible! Spent so much time but it is not working! Very frustrating!2
ugly but practicalAnonymous reviewerbought this to hang in bathroom near bath tub I find it quite igle but it does the job the colour is very limiting wish it was available in white at least3
Faulty designAnonymous reviewerStep 17 instructs to screw the thread from the top, however it never work and the thread is now stuck in the hole.1
Just perfectAnonymous reviewerWanted some extra cabinet space for glassware in our kitchen, bought one and was so impressed bought another so have these both sides of our range and they fit perfectly.
They were easy to make and look amazing, I would agree with other reviewers and say these are the best thing I have ever bought from IKEA.5
Miss aligned drill holesAnonymous reviewerPoorly miss aligned drill holes, shame as product looks lovely but couldn’t put it together. Common fault with metal apparently1
Matching setAnonymous reviewerWas sold out for a while but finally bought this as the matching set to the upright cabinet to put in the bathroom. 4
Nice cabinet but needs work!!!!Anonymous reviewerLovely cabinet but such a pain to put together, had the same problem with the top screw for the door - the thread was awful and some of the holes aren't properly done. Instructions are absolute rubbish also I would suggest putting the shelf screws in alot earlier 3
Frustratingly fiddly!Anonymous reviewerA really lovely cabinet when it’s installed, great size & the shelves give enough height for most products.
Very difficult to put together though! Frustratingly long time to assemble 4
