You may not believe that easy assembly of Ikea drawers is possible, but yes, it really is.
If you had installed an Ikea kitchen before, or maybe just looked into how complicated it will be, you might think that assembling drawers the easy way sounds like a fantasy. However, let me assure you, it is not.
Practice makes perfect
As with most things in life, practice makes perfect, and that can be said about assembling Ikea drawers too. The thing is, though, it takes a fair amount of practice to obtain sufficient experience. In other words, you will have to assemble a lot of drawers, before you feel you really master this specific discipline.
And just as you get there, your kitchen is finished. The learning curve was flat, so when you finally got the hang of it, the job was completed.
The question you may ask yourself then is, “How do I make a shortcut to becoming a Master Assembler of Ikea kitchen drawers fast?”
The good news is, you don’t have to.
Quick learning by clicking
I have done all the tinkering for you and created a “Drawer Assembly Guide,” which you can use at your convenience when you have one or more Ikea drawers to assemble.
By selecting between a few options, you will know exactly which holes, on the drawer front, the hardware has to be mounted into. It is truly as easy as 1-2-3.
In conclusion, try it for yourself. Soon you will find that Easy Assembly of Ikea Drawers indeed is possible. If you have any questions regarding assembling Ikea drawers, please send me an email or contact me here. Alternatively, you can leave a comment below. Thank you.

230+ Kitchens - Still going strong
I bought one of these when I started my business more than five years ago, and it is still going strong.
Unbelievable quality. I use it for assembly of all cabinets and drawers and the Gyro feature is truly awesome. There’s only one button to press. Rotational direction is controlled by the twist of your hand.
Very clever. I love it.
No, it is not a Philips bit
Contrary to what it looks like to the less experienced DIY’er, it is not a Philips bit.
For most, if not all, Ikea uses screws with a Pozidrive head.
PZ2 is the size and you will enjoy rising it instead of the more famous PH2.
Thank you for the drawer assembly guide.
I learn better “visually” rather than by words, so to have these photos made it really clear to me what I need to do to get it right first time.
I really found this useful!
Thanks, Gary. I am happy that you find the guide useful. I am working on a similar guide for hanging rails, so come back soon and check it out.
Sometimes I find it difficult to see where the hardware fits in the holes … the IKEA pictures are small and my vision is getting worse. So, I really appreciate this guide you have made.
Do you have a guide for where the drawer rails match up with the holes inside the cabinet? Thanks for all your videos!
Thank you for your comment.
I haven’t made a guide for installation of the drawer hardware yet, but you might find this short video helpful.
