Awesome install video, I just noticed however you have inserted the small shelf aluminum pieces upside down :D

I’ve been assembling and putting up ikea shelving and units in two houses for over 20 years and I have NEVER seen any instructions as confusing as the printed instructions for the Besta brackets. Without this video I would have wasted at least an hour on wrong measurements and then trying to figure the damn thing out.

Great video! Make sure your wall is not bowed otherwise the mounting bracket will not attach to the cabinet hardware. One section of our drywall bowed away from the mounting bracket. When we tried to hang the double cabinet it would not hook to the hardware on the back of the cabinet. We used a level to determine where we would need to add wood shims behind the mounting bracket. The hardware finally lined up and we were able to hang the cabinets.

I would have removed the TV out of fear.

Thanks for sharing!

Guys I’d advise not using cooking oil with a drill as the heat friction may cause it to ignite. Use a lubricant like WD40 instead

So you can actually daisy chain the mounting rail with more than 2?! Great!

One tip: remove the tv before doing the job. It’s so easy to drop something accidentally

So if I have a 120 cm wide double cabinet + a single 60 cm cabinet, will I then be able to hang them side by side using connectors between thei rails?

The reason I'm asking is because I want them to align as perfectly straight as possible and with no gap.

Thamks for posing this. I'm trying to attach the brackets to the cabinet, a besta 120x38x40, and there simply are no holes for the two tabs that go into the side panels. Theyre not there, and the panels are not swapped or turned.

And check that you have a nice flat wall, and not one with even a tiny curve otherwise you cant place the 120cm unit (it doesnt hook in at both sides). Use multiple 60cm units.

Matę you mounted shelf pins upside down. It should be rounded part to the top. This way pins are invisible with shelf unit.

Just heads up. The metal shelving studs are wrong way around ..

[riancahe]

Hi. Thanks for the video. Did you get the metal rail connectors from ikea? Bought exactly the same set but I’m missing the connectors and they are no where to be found on their website.

Could you not have fitted the back board upside down in the cabinet, then mounted the cabinet upside down so that the ugly holes for the feet would be on the top out of sight
