Assembly Steps

Frame Construction

Begin by attaching drawer runners (IKEA CL, IKEA CR) to the base panels using screws (e.g., 10048881). Insert dowels and connectors into the side panels. Connect the side panels to the base structure. Secure back or support panels with screws (e.g., 10090743) and insert any central supports. Attach additional runners or brackets to the main frame using screws (e.g., 146113).

Drawer Assembly

Prepare drawer bases by inserting dowels (e.g., 101345). Slide drawer base panels into grooves and connect drawer sides. Assemble the drawer boxes and secure them with screws. Attach the corresponding drawer runners (IKEA DL, IKEA DR) to the assembled drawer boxes using screws (e.g., 151706, 151705). Finally, attach the drawer fronts and handles using screws (e.g., 10077982, 100001).

Anti-Tip Device Installation

Crucially, attach the anti-tip bracket to the top rear of the assembled chest of drawers. Then, secure the furniture to the wall by attaching the other part of the anti-tip device to the wall, ensuring it aligns with the bracket on the furniture. Follow the wall mounting guide (A, B, C) for appropriate screw and plug usage based on wall type.

Final Drawer Insertion

Insert the assembled drawers into their respective runners within the main unit. Different drawer configurations (1x, 2x, 3x) may be assembled. Pay attention to any visual cues or clicks indicating proper seating. A warning icon [⚠️] indicates caution during insertion, possibly related to overloading or incorrect placement.
