Just wanted to let you know that even now (09.09.23) you are helping a ton of people including myself and my wife build this drawer. SUPER AWESOME JOB and you cleared up so many difficult steps that were hard to see in the IKEA instructions. Thanks again!!! 😁
Thank you so much for making this video it was a great help, It took me over a week to complete but I couldn't have done it without your help, there were some quite tricky bits to navigate. I am 68 years old and did it all by myself, I am so proud of myself....girl power
Our marriage was in jeopardy, you saved us. First attempt at an Ikea product to build. Two more downstairs. Labels or numbers on the pieces would help. This lady's help was fantastic. Worth watching
Thank you for making this video. I bought this dresser a month ago. When i opened the first box and looked at the instructions, I was ready to take it back. I found your video and it made it make sense. 8 hours later and I'm almost finished. I only have the drawers to assemble.. that will be for another day.. Thanks for the help.
So many thanks !!!! Without your so helpfull video, I wouldn't have made it !!!! I'm 64 and made it on my own thanks to you ! So proud 😀🙂 Kind greetings from Bordeaux in France 🙏💙
I used to buy and build furniture all the time!!! I just purchased two of these dressers and after seeing you build this, I know I most definitely will be trying to schedule them to put this together. I no longer have the patience and I definitely can’t be on my knees that long
You’re an angel for making this video! Never assembled a dresser before and felt pretty intimidated, but your calm and positive approach and instructions got me to to the finish line. Thank you so much! ❤️🙂
I was absolutely stumped on #11 and your video helped me understand the difference sizes (the IKEA directions DO NOT). Thank you so much for posting this!!
❤❤❤ I also want to say thank you for creating a step by step video of this dresser build. I can not express enough how you help my anxiety disorder level stay in control. My daughter loves her big girl dresser ❤
Thank you so much, me and my family were struggling for 2 hours to figure out how to use and assemble this! Luckily we found your video and it took us 3 hours to complete! Thank you very much!! ❤️❤️
Thanks a lot for this video. We just bought the Hemnes dresser and I will save this for later. I’m usually not very good at assembling furniture, but this made it look quite easy! Thanks!!
I liked the dresser and the price, but was hesitant, as I had done IKEA assemblies before. I made the purchase and checked CZcams for videos, and found 3. I tried the other 2 and although helpful, there was a lot that was left out and some irrelevant conversation. I got stuck on step 11 and was ready to call IKEA, but checked out this video, and from that point on I was able to proceed to the end with very little difficulty, thanks to the clear explanation and visual display of Aksana's interpretation of the instructions. As I gained confidence I went a bit faster and in a couple of spots changed it up from how she did it, such as hammering the plastic 'nails' to connect the drawer sides and back-I used a towel on top of the dresser, allowing me to stand and put more force into the hammer. It took me a lot longer than her and what others have claimed to do the assembly, but it is sturdy and looks great. I have become a subscriber. Thanks! Dave
Aksana is a blessing!!! This should be the highest rated video for assembling this dresser on CZcams. I looked at a lot of videos, and Aksana's was certainly the best. I can't put into words how much I appreciate this video. You need to follow along/pause/replay as you go while using the Ikea guide to finish installation. Both visuals are key. Thank you Aksana!!!
Thanks so much for posting this. I got stuck trying to get the middle part together. Big brain fart. I knew I had the right pieces but couldn't get them right. LOL!
I am finding the holes are too tight for the screws and when I try to push down to have them bite into the hole, the screw head just strips / tears away and now the screw cannot be tightened anymore. How come yours did not do this?
Could not have done it with out this video. Things have changed a little today in 2021 with certain design peaces. Or some holes but still was able to put mine together with this video along with instructions
Me and the wife have one and the bottom of the drawers look flimsy like they’ll bend or break because there’s little support on them just wanted to ask if when your finished building does the drawers feel like it’s stronger to hold more clothes
The last one I built (today) had some new hardware. I think it’s intended to keep you from opening more than 2 drawers at a time. It’s a complicated piece of furniture.
Do you know how long it is ?? On the website it says it’s like 5 feet long and when I pulled the tape measuring it seems super long! Do you know how long it really is ?
I would like to buy one, but not sure about color. Currently only "white stain" color available(even on photos on ikea website some darker spots visible) , solid white is discontinued. So which one in your video??
this one is the "white stain". I think the darker spots you see is the wood grain. because you can still see the wood grain under the paint, which I love. you can also repaint this to make it your custom color if you choose to do that in the future.
@@Aksanazen This is the “white stain???”Or “white?” The picture on the website looks like there’s a texture to the “white stain” one and your video it doesn’t looked textured. Just double checking before I purchase 🥺
@Tiffany Del Valle I have the white stain, which means you can see the wood grain and texture, and its "softer". White means glossy white and solid and shiny.
I built these today. Bought them for my daughter because i have the same ones which I built 12 yrs ago. I did not remember having to build a confusing mid section frame the first time and it’s because I didn’t. IKEA have scrimped on the wood & made twice the work with all those confusing bits of wood. My set just has one panel in the middle. I can tell the quality has gone down hill. Great video though, it was very helpful today. Thankyou.
I have done many of the dresser so this is my feedback: would be better if the plastic locks would have the arrow in black color cause really can't see it that good. Also, the plastic legs don't really stay in the side panels so I add glue to it so it can stay in. Also, the back panel. would be better if it was slide-in instead of hammering all the nails. Sliding in is faster than hammering each nail taking more minutes to finish the panel.
I believe I did have extra left over for some parts. You can also go to the as-is department in Ikea, and ask for the extra screws (take a picture of what you need exactly and what furniture piece )
I’m so sad because I watched your video and was excited to start working on my dresser and then can’t continue because the holes don’t match for L1 and L2 😩
for the dresser. did you buy the white Stain finish Dresser from IKEA? ( i think ikea came in two finishes, regular white and Stain White). HOW has the white stain dresser held up these past 2 years?
For anyone that has an issue with the drawers not being flushed with the dresser and has a gap make sure the drawer is sitting correctly IN the railing and not just on top
Does anyone having the same issue as me : Step 15 ,The screw is not enough long to enter on the hole and hold the other peace of wood .. any suggestions please. Thanks
I finished buulding it and the drawers got locked in the dresser somehow? I pushed them all the way in and hear a 'click' and now I cannot open any of them. Any one have answers!?!?

I'm so happy to help! 💗
I’m helping my brothers ex fix hers. I’m so confused after opening the boxes lol.
How do you like the dresser so far
@@chaoswitch1974 thanks alot i am definitely wont be buying it now 🙏
How are your dressers holding up?
Did it today alone for the first time, it took me 6 hours and I am not clumsy
I used to buy and build furniture all the time!!! I just purchased two of these dressers and after seeing you build this, I know I most definitely will be trying to schedule them to put this together. I no longer have the patience and I definitely can’t be on my knees that long
Mmm

Girl Power!!! I just purchased one of these and came on to see the feasibility of doing it myself. I'm going to give it a try.
Just bought one today, right now its 12:04 where I live and I’m nowhere close to finishing it up. Your video saveeeed meeeeee!!! Thank you so much!
so happy to help :)

❤❤❤ I also want to say thank you for creating a step by step video of this dresser build. I can not express enough how you help my anxiety disorder level stay in control. My daughter loves her big girl dresser ❤
Do not think I could have built this dresser by myself without your video instructions - THANK YOU!!!
Glad it helped :)
Great video! Your little helper is adorable! I’m saving it for when I get my Hemnes dresser.
Yay! Thank you!
Thanks for the Quality video,it’s helped us to assemble our dresser 👍🏼
Glad it was helpful!
What do you do when the twisting screw doesn’t grab
Thanks for showing the boxes ! I have to drive a long way to ikea since they don’t deliver and we’re trying to plan out how much we can actually fit !
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much, me and my family were struggling for 2 hours to figure out how to use and assemble this! Luckily we found your video and it took us 3 hours to complete! Thank you very much!! ❤️❤️
Thank you! your video helped me a lot! Honestly, without it, I don't think I would have done it :)
so glad it helped :)
Thank you so much for making this video! It helped me all throughout the build!

This video saves my life!!! Cause I was going to pay for the assembly services from Ikea, but I don't need them now.😂
Thanks to this video, I was able to put the dresser together by myself.
Took 5 long hours, broke my back but this pregnant mama did it 😅
Great job!
I am eight months pregnant and trying to put this damn thing together too! hahaha
Thank you so much for the helpful video!
Thank you for making the video! I followed it and built the dresser 😊
Thanks so much for posting this. I got stuck trying to get the middle part together. Big brain fart. I knew I had the right pieces but couldn't get them right. LOL!

Me and the wife have one and the bottom of the drawers look flimsy like they’ll bend or break because there’s little support on them just wanted to ask if when your finished building does the drawers feel like it’s stronger to hold more clothes
Thanks for this Video !! Omg I will do mine today !!

Thank you so much for your helpful video.
It’s really help us to install easy.
this was so helpful! Thank you
i'm glad it helped :)
Thank you so much! I opened the first box yesterday and freaked out because it was not a white stain.
Glad I could help!
Do you know how long it is ?? On the website it says it’s like 5 feet long and when I pulled the tape measuring it seems super long! Do you know how long it really is ?

Thank you !!
It was really helpful!!!
Thanks so much for your helpful video!
I just bought this dresser myself! How long did it take you to put together?
Took about 7 hours
@@the-bookworm41😂fucking love u
Thank you so much because I was completely lost looking at the directions. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I appreciate you sharing this.
Glad it was helpful!
Soo helpful!! Thanks for sharing!

@Tiffany Del Valle I have the white stain, which means you can see the wood grain and texture, and its "softer". White means glossy white and solid and shiny.
By any chance would you happen to know the maximum top load? I want to place my tv and soundbar on top
The slides that came with mine aren’t long enough to fit across at 8:06… did they put the wrong ones in the box? Or am I doing something wrong?
Great Video, thank you so much
What do you do if the nail doesn’t fit in the hole ? For the first part I tried drilling it and it just doesn’t go
amazing work
How do you like the dresser so far? I am thinking of buying this soon for my 2 toddlers bedroom
I believe it's one the the best pieces from Ikea.
Thanks! Very helpful!

How are you liking the dresser? Any issues?
Just away to build this very unit now.
I wonder how long does it take to build one! I bought the nightstand and It took me 2.5 hours!!!
I did one last night.
It took 8 hours with no break (by myself.)
I like how the little girl is helping lol

Sliding in is faster than hammering each nail taking more minutes to finish the panel.

Did you have any extra screws or small parts left over? I messed one up:( and I’m wondering if it at least comes with a few extras lolz
I believe I did have extra left over for some parts. You can also go to the as-is department in Ikea, and ask for the extra screws (take a picture of what you need exactly and what furniture piece )
@@Aksanazen thank you so so much!!
About how long would you say it took to build?
I have trouble screw two middle ones at manual number 27. Anyone has same issue?
I’m so sad because I watched your video and was excited to start working on my dresser and then can’t continue because the holes don’t match for L1 and L2 😩
How much experience did you have building before this? How long would you say it took for this specific kit first time? Last time?
I built it once, solo. It took 7.5 hrs.
for the dresser. did you buy the white Stain finish Dresser from IKEA? ( i think ikea came in two finishes, regular white and Stain White). HOW has the white stain dresser held up these past 2 years?
this is the white stain, you see the wood grain underneath. the glossy one (white) is shiny white and you dont see the wood underneath.
@@Aksanazen thank you! much appreacited
For anyone that has an issue with the drawers not being flushed with the dresser and has a gap make sure the drawer is sitting correctly IN the railing and not just on top
Life safer thank your for that Video
you're welcome! ❤
Is everyone enjoying and liking these dressers? Thinking about purchasing one at our ikea tomorrow and thought I’d ask people’s thoughts on it.
What colour was this drawer set please. White or white stained ? Thanks
This one is white stained, meaning you can see the wood grain underneath. the white is glossy white. hope this helped. :)
Did you have to drill extra holes for the drawers?
no I didnt have to drill extra holes
I bought it , beautiful straight forward assembly. Assembled by myself.
Yes same here on page 14 step 5 was so bad centering off the holes i need to drill extra
I took my time with it. Kind of feel dumb but didn't want to ruin anything
Brilliant 👍
Would you still recommend this dresser a year later? I wanna know before I buy this.
I def. recommend this dresser. Its very sturdy and strong, solid wood, and will last years.
Does anyone having the same issue as me :
Step 15 ,The screw is not enough long to enter on the hole and hold the other peace of wood .. any suggestions please. Thanks
I finished buulding it and the drawers got locked in the dresser somehow? I pushed them all the way in and hear a 'click' and now I cannot open any of them. Any one have answers!?!?
How long did it take you to do?
