  • In this very detailed video I show you how to unpack and assemble the IKEA Micke drawer unit, which is the companion to the Micke desk. This one takes about an hour to put together, or 45 minutes if you're paying attention and can work fast. This drawer unit is an awesome companion to the Micke desk, super functional and highly recommended.

    This how to video was a lifesaver you made it so easy I felt like we were building this cabinet together!! The worst thing about a do it yourself assembly is when you open the box and there’s no instructions and that’s what happened to me so I was happy when I found your video

  • @kwf92
    @kwf92 4 года назад +2

    Did this today, gave up on the instructions midway through and just used your video! Love how clear and straightforward and visual it was.
    For the comments about the struggle inserting the top drawer: try putting it in the lower racks and watch how it slides in so you can aim for the same angle. It feels awkward and sticky but it’s just an odd angle at first
    For separating the tracks in the last step: this totally stumped me and I struggled to see how it was working in the video. Looks like ikea’s updated the Micke too because my tabs were black. The trick is pushing the curved black plastic lever IN, at the same time as pulling UP on the track. Worked like a charm!

    I downloaded this instruction video about a year ago, I wasn't sure if this would still be on RUclips, I see that it is. I am so glad I had your video on my tablet, the main reason is, I lost the paper instructions, "egad". Well, I finally decided to assemble the IKEA Micke desk, and following your video on my tablet everything came together with ease. I want to thank you, and say, your video instructions should be part of IKEA's information instructions. Actually, IKEA should hire you to make videos for many of their products. Again, thank you for the video.

Your calm voice and precision made the illustrated instructions useless. I successfully installed this piece in under one hour and its perfect and only 1 misc. wooden dowel left over. Typically I have a baggie of ish I missed, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

We did everything the same but laying it down when putting the bottom drawer in. We put the Micke drawer unit on it's back and the drawer slid in no problem! Not sure why, but we're grateful for your video! Thank you so much!!

    • @maxmucino
      @maxmucino 3 года назад +4

      I’m sure you already got this fixed, but I simply loosened each screw closest to the wheel on the rail that is mounted to the cabinet.
      This allow the drawer to push the rail down a bit and slip in.

    • @NITROUSOXIDE921
      @NITROUSOXIDE921 3 года назад +1

      ​@@maxmucino I wish I read your comment earlier, I had the same issue as the person with the original comment. The first drawer is way more hard to push and pull out than the rest of the drawers, and I have owned mine for 7 years. I just never bothered to search up this issue as I didn't realise other people might have the same issue in theirs.
      Thanks a lot though:)
