Oh my God this is the only mounting video of these units I've been able to find with someone actually using the mounting bars Ikea sells for these shelves, and you did it without telling me your life story and being stupid for twenty minutes, I'm in love with you??? Thank you so much???

What a great video. No meaningless chit-chat, straight into the work and using the actual thing sold by Ikea. Thank you.

This is better than the idiots who just put screws through the back panels. Good job.

[bwager]

That's what I needed to see; doing some myself.


I like that no words are spoken. It let me focus on the activity. Nice cinematic touch, there. Cheers!

Thanks so much for this video. Why doesnt ikea sell this railing together with the eket??😣 we drilled the cube into drywall and in 4 days it fell off though the load wasnt much.

Now my question is can I drill the suspension rail direct to drywall (cut find stud) or will it fall off again??

How did you managed top get 3 drawers in the Ikea eket 70x35x70?

[DiYChannel-tg]

Are u drilling into the plasterboard or the brick?

Hey how did you get 3 darüber in the eket 70x35x70

Thank you so much for the incredibly helpful video! It’s a visual representation of the IKEA instructions - done perfectly! Question - should the entire cube be flush against the wall when finished? I think I’ve got it securely mounted but the top is not flush - there’s a slight angle

Do you need to mount this to the studs if there is no support underneath? Or are drywalls good enough to hold the weight?

Ikea engineers are the best in my opinion. Instructions are simple to understand. The whole experience in general is very interesting. Now i understand why ikea is popular. However these eket things had me scratching my head a few times. For example the bottem shelf has to go in a certain way, and the 2 small bolts have no purpose it seems ? Took me way too long

How can you get it flush with the ceiling? Finding it impossible as you need to mount by angling the cabinet up over the fixture and down

I just mounted my Eket shelves too, and I came here to ask if you tightened the allen screws at the back of the mounting rail. If you did, how?

[autopilotmuzik]

I just purchased the eket cabinet and the mounting rail and want to put them on my wall. As far as attaching the cabinet to the rail, how do you make sure it is clipped in? I wish the video zoomed up on that process. I hope your able to get back to me

Which size of fischer and screws did you use to fix one unit? 5mm fischer? 6mm fischer? Thank you!

[jeremyrodriguez]

In my opinion, it’s probably better to use Toggle Bolts instead of regular screws if it’s going through drywall instead of a stud

Good video, thanks!

Hi! I bought the EKET cabinet with door and failed to purchase the metal suspension rail separately. Do the metal corner pieces that you screw into the back also come with the suspension rail? If not, my hardware did not have those in the bag with the cabinet.

[chelondres]

Thanks for the helpful video. What screws did you use for the suspension rail?

[LoftOfTheUniverse]

What should I do if only 1 side can be screwed into a beam but the other side can't reach far enough for the next one? One side will be installed into sheetrock :/
