Thank you so so much without you i wouldn't be able to do anything !! Ikea should pay you for helping so many thousands of people all around the world ! Greetings from Serbia!
What a FAB tutorial. Thank you! I’ve never been one to buy flatpack furniture in the past, so I haven’t much experience building it. I thought having a tutorial to follow along with the printed instructions would likely be the best way to go about it. I feel like IKEA should literally include a link to this tute in the instructions (and pay you per view). You explain things so well and made assembling my BESTÅ TV bench an absolute breeze. It went too well in fact, that when it came time to pop in my glass shelves, they were too wide for the space by a couple mm as the unit was so tightly put together. I had to unlock the panels and have my Mum “hold them apart”as I slotted in the shelves, and then lock the plastic locks again once they were in place. This thing is strong enough to survive an atomic bomb now! Haha Thank you again for making my life that little bit easier x
Thank you so much, Ikea gives a general guide for all Besta units and it can be challenging. This helped so much, I stopped looking at the guides and just followed your lead.
Thank you so much, I would never have worked out how to attach the sliding drawer to the runners. Very generous of you to share your expertise with the novice.
Oh my god thank you I live in France and they changed everything completely you have to pick everything one by one and there is thing without guides, kept on trying until I though let’s see if I can watch a video and u helped so much so thank you
Best instructive video I have found! Totally recommend it! Thank you so much for explaining step by step. I wouldn’t have been able to build it without your help!
I was a bit concerned about ordering this TV bench online until I read a review that mentioned your video. You explain it very clearly thank you. I'll order the product now. 😀
@@PPFlatPack Mine didn't come together as easily as yours! (User error there lol). The hardest thing I found was getting the door level (it still isn't properly level because I can't get the screw to move any more. My husband got it way straighter than I did). The other was getting the drawers to close evenly, until I read about the little screw that can be turned on either side of the runners. If I hadn't made a couple of other easier pieces before AND then watched this video, I think I'd still be struggling with it. Thank you.
Thank you! You saved me a trip to Ikea as I wasn't able to figure out why the shelve didn't fit flush with the drawer; you've also covered on how to remove the drawers, which was of big help! Keep up to good work! Cheers
Brilliant video my friend. This helped me out a lot - I just bought this item but it's basically made up of separate products so the instructions became a bit confusing. Big big help, thank you once again.
Great video, IKEA individual instructions had me going in circles! This was so great to follow from start to finish, mine was slightly different but the main sections were so easy to follow!
This was SO helpful!!! Mine was a modular unit so a lot larger but this guide helped me with the drawers and cabinets/shelves… so easy with these instructions. Thanks so much!
Amazing video brother, thank you! Best video - well explained and good insight especially on the divider and shelf bracket detail! I wasn't sure what was the difference!
Hey, thanks really helpful! I have one problem though the dividing panels don’t line up with the screw holes on the bottom side to secure them. I’ve inserted them like you mentioned. Any clue what I could have done wrong? Many thanks!
great video. Though in my experience, for the middle cabinet, i recommend to tighten the screws for the hinges ON THE BENCH first and then the circular thingies fit in the cabinet door by themselves holding it in place so you do not have to worry about lifting it. I had to unscrew it first. Also because the central shelf wont fit inside since its too tight in the latest (2023) version. But thanks anyway for the overall guide.
Took me a long time to put the drawers inserted. Do it in the opposite order he showed. First insert the nail in to the hole and lock the plastic of the side, then it is easy to match the hook to the hole. It looks like super easy in the video, but you can't see the inside of the drawer and keep it stable.
Just was answering similar comment. 100% agree there was few comments when Ikea stuff was recommending my videos for assembly instructions. Well maybe one day if enough people approach them with this suggestion. Thank you for watching
Have a question. I am planning to buy a similar besta tv unit , not sure whether it has slots/holes on back. The only addition is one vertical drawer(4 slots) on both left and right side of the TV unit. My power outlet position is to the left and right of the vertical drawer at bottom. I am assuming since both the TV shelf and vertical drawers will be touching the wall, and there will be a screw to attach to the wall. My question is, how will I able to connect a outlet surge protector from the left/right side of vertical drawer to go back to the central tv shelf, if everything is touching the wall? Is it possible to install the besta unit and vertical drawers keeping a certain distance from wall?
Just curious, and I didn’t install the shelf brackets. Anyway, anyone have “issues” with the shelf brackets ? There’re specific screws for them (8X) but aren’t they ticker for the general holes ?
I had the push to open draws abd they are sitting higher than the middle door and the 2 shelves when I swap the holes on the draw fronts they go lower than the middle door ?
Smaller ones are for outside (thinner parts) and the bigger ones for inside (the thicker parts). There's no way to deceive. Unscrew the screws and pull with a clip 🤷♀️
Hi bro, What is the best way to hang IKEA Besta TV bench on wall (180×42×38) 1. Do I need to use suspension rails? 2. Do I need to use french cleats to hang on them and then screw it in metal brackets? 3. Directly screw them to metal brackets. For Besta suspension rails. It was clearly mentioned that this cannot be used with Besta TV bench
Hey so I filled the drawers with DVDs and some have fallen so they’re stuck where the drawer pulls out is there a way to remove the back panel and put it back ?
Thank you so so much without you i wouldn't be able to do anything !! Ikea should pay you for helping so many thousands of people all around the world !

Great vid! Can anyone give me the dimensions of the top open shelves please? Trying to see if it would fit a PS5 sitting sideways on.
Took me a long time to put the drawers inserted. Do it in the opposite order he showed. First insert the nail in to the hole and lock the plastic of the side, then it is easy to match the hook to the hole.

Ikea should put your video on their product page.
Just was answering similar comment. 100% agree there was few comments when Ikea stuff was recommending my videos for assembly instructions. Well maybe one day if enough people approach them with this suggestion. Thank you for watching
Very helpful video. But do you have to secure it to the wall? I have a new house and don’t like the idea of making holes in the wall.
Did you mount it to the wall?
besta tv
ora pro nobis!
bench with doors black brown grey green!
Praise be Odin, who art in ikea!
Any idea on how to get the small locks out if accidentally screwed them in the bigger holes?
Thank you! It looks kinda simple. Hopefully we'll be able to do it the same
If I can everyone can. Thank you for watching

Thanks!
Yes it can be mounted on the wall without feet
Just curious, and I didn’t install the shelf brackets. Anyway, anyone have “issues” with the shelf brackets ? There’re specific screws for them (8X) but aren’t they ticker for the general holes ?
Great video thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching
I had the push to open draws abd they are sitting higher than the middle door and the 2 shelves when I swap the holes on the draw fronts they go lower than the middle door ?

What di you do when the 1st set of 8 screws do not screw all the way into the base.
What did you end up doing as I’m having this issue
Appreciate it brother
Does anyone have the dimensions of the top open shelves. Looking to buy this, but just need that one dimension. Thanks
Thank you so much !
Put the plastic locks in the wrong parts one is stuck how to i get it out?
Smaller ones are for outside (thinner parts) and the bigger ones for inside (the thicker parts). There's no way to deceive.
Unscrew the screws and pull with a clip 🤷♀️
Can it be used as a bench for seating since it's call a TV bench?
No
Hi bro,
What is the best way to hang IKEA Besta TV bench on wall (180×42×38)
1. Do I need to use suspension rails?
2. Do I need to use french cleats to hang on them and then screw it in metal brackets?
3. Directly screw them to metal brackets.
For Besta suspension rails. It was clearly mentioned that this cannot be used with Besta TV bench
Hi, where can we find the tv unit legs? We can’t find it on the Ikea site. Thank you from now. 🙏🏻
Plenty here www.ikea.com/gb/en/cat/besta-legs-55032/
awesome 👏
Great! Thanks man!
Hey so I filled the drawers with DVDs and some have fallen so they’re stuck where the drawer pulls out is there a way to remove the back panel and put it back ?
If the drawers are somehow suck, unscrew the plastic screws and remove the entire top 🤷♀️
Nice video!
Thank you for watching
Can this unit be wall mounted?
Yes
It was frustrating to put those drawers and then 10 seconds after he tells me to remove them 🙄
Thank you!
Thankyou sir
This has taken me 2 days to couple. Still going, Jeez!!!😓
God bless you
I'm already regretting buying this
How to re open those plastic locks?
unscrew the screws and pull with a clip 🤷♀️
Does anyone want to answer my question please.
Its good to say that whole Besta by Ikea is big shit. The frames, drawers, door all of this is total disappointment.
I hate how he talks
Oh sorry about that ;)
Thank you so much! This was incredibly helpful!!!
