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!!! 😁

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!!!

I liked the dresser and the price, but was hesitant, as I had done IKEA assemblies before. I made the purchase and checked KZfaq 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

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.

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.
