Hey Everyone, IKEA recently changed some of the steps with the Hemnes 8 Drawer Dresser. We made an updated and more in depth assembly tutorial on this dresser, here's the link to that video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7lhfrh8ubOuiIE.html&ab_channel=OriginalFurnitureReviews

Upon unboxing, I was immediately upset at how the rails were very noticeably bent. But I kept going, all tools needed to assemble were included kzfaq.infoUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-d81YecKCshn and I had it set up in about 30 minutes. Honestly I love this thing, make sure to read the measurements and measure your space so you know if it'll work for you. I bought this to put inside my closet, underneath where I hang my clothes and it is absolutely perfect! It is VERY sturdy and all drawers glide easily and mine are stuffed, and they are still flush when closed.

Excellent video, perfect narration, I appreciate you taking the time to make this for all of us. The dresser was somewhat of a beast once all the boxes were open and wood stacked up but your systematic step by step process helped tremendously. Thank you

Thank you very much for this video, you did an excellent job. I ordered a task rabbit and he kept rescheduling so I cancelled him and did it myself. I wouldn’t be able to do it without your video. You had the best video out of everyone, very professional and organized . Don’t ever stop 💕

Big thanks! I got to the building the center skeleton section and was worried about having the wrong side exposed. Your video help clear that up. I been building IKEA furniture for 10+ years. I add wood glue to the drawer rails and handles. They are have moved around the world due to being in the military. Never had issues with them falling apart. Again, thank you!!

Thank you, I have had my hemnes 8 drawer chest since 2012 they didn’t come with the supports it was fine until three years ago when I noticed the bottom coming away went to IKEA and got the supports came home and didn’t know how to fit them, but thanks to you I’ve finally put the drawer supports in today following your instructions. I’m grateful you were there to help. I have another problem while screwing the three drawers divers in they started to split so I stopped which caused a gap and the drawers leaning sideways and I have lived with them like this since. Please help me correct this issue. A VERY BIG THANK YOU

Best tutorial. Got it done way faster than trying to interpret the drawings in the book. Thanks!

Awesome video. Great job explaining. Me and my lady just got this put together thanks to you. Saved $130.

thank you for saving me from a stress induced panic attack bc holy hell. the spawn of satan draws the ikea building “manuals”. i was literally 10 secs away from throwing myself and the dresser out my two story house. if i hadn’t found this video, i would have quit my job. ty ty ty lol

Your video helped alot and saved me a few hours. Did this in about 2 to 3 hours not including rest time. this dresser is straight forward and easy to put together if you watch the videos and manual. I have the exact dresser as the video but slightly updated screws and all. For anyone installing this at this time. Please know that one of the screws or whatever that metal thing is called in this videos has changed. The version in this video is all metal while the one i got has a plastic or rubber piece in the middle. It is very important that you use the exact screw you see in the manual because if you dont you will end up with drawer not sliding in properly.

This was SUPER helpful as my husband and I built my new dresser. Thanks for your help!

Thank you so so much for this!!!! This was so easy to follow along with.

Haha bro you saved my life with this one for real. Took me about 4 hours but would have taken way longer without your help. Thanks!!!

Assembled my dresser after seven hours, easy to follow and no issues! Thank you for the video!

Having trouble putting the top piece on top 9:06 you skip the step on how to properly insert it. The back screw doesn’t line up

Thank you so much for the excellent video

Thank you this helped me so much. Didn’t even use the manual!! What a lifesaver!

Great video dude. You should be a teacher or instructor of some sort in any field. You're assertive easy to listen to and your instructions are clear and easy to follow. Putting furniture together and also getting the 411 on furniture details isn't always easy or something the general public wants to do on there own lol but you definitely give a good run down of the pros and cons.

I like the part where you skipped what I wanted to see. Hammering the plastic pins into the drawers

A really big thank you coming at ya 🫡, well done on your excellent tutorial, marvellous piece of work. THANK YOU AGAIN. Hope you get all the likes and loves you deserve 💙💙

Thanks so much. You have the best video on putting this drawer together. Because of this video I did it all by myself.

Truly a nightmare to assemble but your video helped a ton! Needless to say, won’t be buying anymore IKEA furniture from now on.

No BS, very straightforward. Thank you and well done.

Thank you so much! This was a tremendous help! Hubby and I definitely struggled in the beginning. Thank you thank you thank you !!!

Thanks for demonstrating this assembly. Your video is clear and helpful.

Thank you for this you made it simpler than the book!!!

This video deserves a million likes….

Excellent video thank you made my day stress free

I did it! (3 hrs later) thank you for your help

Thanks Could have not done it without your video.Appreciate it😊

Thank you so much, your step by step made it so much easier.

Made my life easier, unfortunately the top part is not locking in so I still have to get those banana heads to come over and fix it

Thank you sir! A lot of pausing. 3.5 hours and I’m done. Someone give this man money

The Allen wrench isn’t screwing the four screws in the top

The best guide on I seen so far. Makes it mad simple 🐐

Great video! , it saved me a lot of time , the paper directions are brutal! Thank you 👍

Awesome video! Helped beyond belief!

That’s great and helpful man, was stuck for a bit

Thank you for your detailed instructions. Super helpful!!

Lifesaver! A friend and I used your video to supplement the instruction manual and the two worked together perfectly. Thx for being here! Will always look for your videos first when buying IKEA!

Thanks so much! I did it with your help and I'm a woman!

Best tutorial ever! Thanks so much 😊

thank you so much for your video! this helped me out TONS!!

Life savor!

Thank you! Best tutorial out there

Great content. Not interested in the dresser but your other videos were a huge help in getting my new place setup. Just here to give a thumbs up and help w growth

easiest thing i couldve followed. Ikea sure knows how to confuse someone inexperienced!

Just finished setting up my dresser thank you so much for the step by step instructions

This is amazing. Thank you so much for making this!

It would seem that Ikea has added additional parts that are not shown in the video.

Thank you! Newly separated and I was able to do this by myself with ease! Keep up the great work!

I can't thank you enough

you are a life saver!

Kinda bullshit how u don’t struggle to put in your top panel, this shit hard as fuck to align all these screws

Thank you for this video!

Ξεκινάμε πρώτο με το κουτί 1 τη συναρμολόγηση? Μετά με το κουτί 2 και μετα με το 3? Ή είναι μπερδεμένα τα κομμάτια?

thanks so much this was such a big help!!!

thank you. you helped me

thanks for the help:)

Thank you. You save my life ❤️

THANK YOU!😊😊

All the legs don't touch the ground causing my dresser to rock 😢 What did I do wrong?

6:20 two of the screws won't go all the way in even tho it's the right one

great, thanks alot. perfect

Would you happen to know the maximum top load ? I want to place my oled tv and soundbar on top

My drawers keep hitting the screws. Click and grinding while opening. How do I fix this?

My long cross piece of wood doesn’t have an unstained side…what do I do ???

I have trouble screw two middle ones at manual number 27. Anyone has same issue?

I'm confused at 6:50 Mine one uncolored facing outside

The best!

About how long would you say that took to assemble? Trying to gauge time.

Man I gotta start from scratch.

My drawers catch like crazy. What am I doing wrong?

The drawers are locking all the time.

I specifically came here to see how to balance the parts of the drawer while hammering in the pegs for the back panel. Because if I start hammering, everything just shakes apart. Why did you skip this crucial moment? :( I need real-life advice! :(

Um I’m missing 4 screws

MERRY CHRISTMAS KEVIN 😎

How long does this take on average to build?

One of my fasteners isn’t going on step 16

The rails aren't long enough to screw in the first panels

The left rails do not match the holes on the wood on mine. I hate this dresser!!

Wish I would have watched this one instead of the other video 😅

9:49 I only have one backing

Yuo the best 👌

Dude why did you go all over the place and not stay in one sequence 😂😂

Man, thanks you! Ikea directions weren’t worth much.

commenting for the al gore rythm

This is worst of worst IKEA furniture. Take hours to assemble it.
