It would seem - what is so difficult about assembling ordinary cabinet furniture? But for an inexperienced person, this process can sometimes seem like a super task. Especially, as often happens, if there are no assembly instructions.
Let's try, using an ordinary chest of drawers as an example, to talk about the basic rules for assembling furniture. So, they brought you packed boxes. There is no particular point in checking the presence of all the components (you won’t count all the screws and cogs), the only thing is that if there are a lot of boxes, then you need to compare their number with the number on the invoice. Does it match? So everything is fine.
How to assemble a chest of drawers
Before moving on to a precise sequential instruction circuit, it is necessary to consider general principles.
First assemble the base body of the item, and then the remaining parts.
- It is better to start assembling any furniture, especially large-sized ones, from the largest parts, continuing downwards. In our case, first the main body, then the fastening of the drawers and other small aspects.
- Work exclusively on a flat surface to avoid problems with the relationship of the body parts to each other.
- Cover the floor with a protective material to protect both the furniture and the work surface from scratches.
- Some materials may be fragile, which is why you need to perform all actions carefully - slowly tighten the bolts, do not drop components, etc.
The bolts need to be tightened tightly, but not too much.
Necessarily! Perform assembly only in a well-lit area to avoid loss of parts and inaccurate measurements.
We pick up the instructions or look at the diagram on the Internet
In our case, there are only two boxes. Let's unpack and first find the instructions. If it is not there, we are looking for at least a picture of the appearance of our piece of furniture. It can be pasted on the outside of the box. If this is not the case, then we can only rely on our own heads and these recommendations, or take a standard diagram as a guide:
First, let's look at the option with instructions. Depending on the responsibility of the furniture manufacturer, the instructions can be either detailed or brief (without part designations), but in both cases it contains an image of the appearance of the product.
Assembly should begin with the largest structure; in the case of a wall, it will be a cabinet with shelves for books.
Inspect parts for defects
The path that furniture takes from production to the end user is usually multi-stage, and therefore no one is immune from defects. It is better to check the furniture for the latter immediately before purchasing.
First, examine all the parts of the dresser before assembling.
Sometimes the case may be scratched or slightly damaged, and sometimes the damage may be significant. The chest of drawers comes with an assembly diagram, so don't be lazy to check the package before starting work.
In addition, the instructions should have a picture of this chest of drawers.

Required Tools
Some models involve “seamless” installation of all elements, which greatly simplifies the work. However, for reliability it is worth using fastenings such as nails and screws.
Use professional tools to assemble furniture.
To do the job well, we will need the following set of tools:
- A tape measure is a mandatory attribute; it is necessary for correct assembly and accurate measurements.
- We will also need a Phillips screwdriver that fits the size of the screws.
- It is most convenient to assemble the entire structure using a screwdriver. Since the self-tapping screws in the kit are of medium size, the drill chuck should not be less than 10 mm.
- A hammer will also come in handy.
Use professional tools carefully.
If possible, also use a level to assemble the structure perfectly accurately.
Design ideas for a white bedroom
In the bedroom, people are used to relaxing, indulging in interesting dreams in the arms of Morpheus. White is often chosen to decorate bedrooms. And for good reason - it is able to visually increase the area. At the same time, white is so easy to fit into almost any environment, in any style direction.
A white bedroom has calming properties. Of course, you can’t do without companion flowers. You can add blue, green, and beige tones to white. It would not be a bad idea to complement the modular bedroom with living plants - they will add brightness to the environment.

Assembly steps
After the initial inspection for defects, as well as equipping the workplace with light and tools, you must:
- mentally draw up an action plan guided by the principle “from big to small”;
- we start with the formation of the main body - the frame of the entire structure;
- Next you need to assemble the boxes;
- the next stage will be marking the installation of retractable mechanisms for drawers;
- after which you will need to correctly position all the fasteners;
- now - fronts for drawers and installation of handles;
- The final stage will be the top of the chest of drawers.
Important! The sequence of actions and the number of points in the plan may vary from model to model. Furniture is varied, which means the situation is individual.
Assembling the chest of drawers
Pay attention to how placement on the floor is provided. Sometimes wheels can be used, which must be secured with separate screws. In other cases, legs are installed, or the chest of drawers stands on solid base strips.
Inspect the details of the chest of drawers.
It is with this element that the process should begin in order to immediately give the mechanism stability.
Assembling the chest of drawers
In order for the case to be strong and reliable, it is necessary to fix all the walls with tightening screws. The back of the chest of drawers is usually turned towards the wall of the room, and therefore is often made of thin materials; nails will be enough to fasten it.
First, assemble the chest of drawers.
If your specific design includes cross bars, they should also be installed at this stage. To ensure a flat surface and maximum compliance of the sides with each other, it is recommended to check the installation result with a level.
Before assembling the chest of drawers, it is advisable to read the instructions.
Assembling drawers
The correct assembly of the chest of drawers is determined by both the accuracy of the measurements and the accuracy of the installation of the entire structure. For greater convenience, you should immediately divide all the components into separate piles so as not to get confused.
Assembling the chest of drawers will not take much time.
First, we take short self-tapping screws (25-35mm) and connect the body with them. Then use slightly longer screws (40-50mm) to attach the bottom. It is advisable to complete the installation of the boxes by fastening the facades using self-tapping screws.
Standard assembly of a chest of drawers is a fairly simple matter.
But it is better to carry out this procedure after installing the roller guides along which the box will move. This way you will protect yourself from inaccuracies and errors.
Installation of guides
The key to quiet and smooth movement of all elements of the chest of drawers is the correct installation of the guide elements (ball or roller). Accurate measurements using a tape measure are necessary so that the drawers can be pulled out without touching anything or creating additional noise.
Secure drawers carefully.
Initially, you need to attach the runners to the inside of the chest of drawers, then the guides to the outside of the drawers. For successful fixation, you will need short-length self-tapping screws (no more than 30mm).
If you have drawers, the first thing you need to do is screw the guides to the inner surface of the chest of drawers (cabinet).
If the work done was successful and all the drawers are positioned correctly, all that remains is to attach the fronts and handles to them. You can use nails, screws, or even strong double-sided tape.
Finding the side parts and transverse elements
Let me remind you, we have a chest of drawers.
We look for the side walls of the chest of drawers (cabinet) among all the parts. The instructions contain their size, so we take a tape measure and measure the length and width (believe me, this will be much faster than trying on every detail and looking for the right one).
If there are no instructions, we look for parts of the same size and compare the holes on the inside. They should be located symmetrically (except for the holes for the hinges).
So, the side parts have been found, we are looking for the transverse elements. Since the external dimensions are known to us (width and length are discussed before purchase), we are looking for shelves and lids of suitable width in accordance with the drawing, paying attention to the coincidence of the holes in the sides of the cabinet and the ends of the horizontal elements found. So, all parts of one structure (cabinet) have been found, let's start assembling.
Where can you put a chest of drawers in the house (proper location)
The appearance and dimensions completely determine the place where the chest of drawers will be located most harmoniously and most conveniently. Since retractable elements take up a lot of space, this type of furniture should definitely not be placed in the aisle, near doors or in narrow rooms.
A standard chest of drawers will fit harmoniously into any interior.
The ideal location would be along the edge of the room next to other interior elements. The chest of drawers can also serve as an excellent table for cosmetics, in combination with a mirror, or as a good TV stand.
