If you've assembled IKEA furniture and encountered stability issues, there are steps to ensure proper installation. First, revisit the instructions to identify any missed steps during assembly. Check and tighten all screws and bolts to prevent wobbliness, and use a level to ensure the furniture is balanced. Confirm that the weight on the furniture is within its capacity to prevent potential collapse.
To address potential errors, compare your furniture to the product photos on the IKEA website. If uncertainties persist, contact IKEA customer service for assistance. Additionally, consider using a power drill for quicker assembly, applying wood glue to screws for added security, and using a rubber mallet for minor alignment corrections. Placing the furniture on a level surface is crucial for stability.
By following these tips, you can ensure your IKEA furniture is correctly installed, enhancing its longevity and stability.
