Thank you so much for including your mistakes! It takes guts, but it helped me avoid doing the same thing.
Hello! Exactly 😁 my goal was to help you save some time haha Thank you so much for watching 💚
I did it myself in about 45 minutes but only bc of y’all. Thx 🤙🏽
Hi Ben!! Aww Awesome! Glad to hear we were able to save you some time haha thank you so much for watching!
Thank you, your video was a great help!!! Trying to read the Ikea instructions is like reading hieroglyphics.
Hi Jameson! I'm so glad it was helpful 😁 haha yes it get been very confusing 😆 Thank you so much for watching! By the way, love your name 💚🌿
Thank you thank you thank you for making this video and explaining where you ran into trouble/mistakes! The instructions to this are horrible but your video has helped me out so much! Thanks again!
Hello!! Awesome super glad it was helpful🥰 thank you so much for watching!
you are a LIFESAVER lol I thought the Ikea instructions were HORRIBLE! thank you so much lol
Hi Arabella! Aww haha I hope this video was helpful in some way 💚 I tried to make it fun and informative at the same time 😁 Thank you so much for watching!
@@Melisawith1Schannel I meant the ikea instructions lol not yours! I don’t think my cabinet would have been put together if not for your video lol super helpful! Thank you!
That's awesome!!! Congrats on putting together 😁💚 I figured I'm probably not the only one that would have a challenge putting this cabinet together 😅
Purchased one for my wife & 3 months later I’m attempting the assembly. Wish me luck.
Hi Chris! Good luck 🤞 you will do just fine! I hope this video helps you avoid any mistakes I made! You may need a helper as well at some points 😁 thanks for watching 💚🌿
This video was super helpful and made the setup easy. The only part I messed up on was when I stopped watching the video.
Aww that's awesome! I'm glad it helped you out 😁 You are too kind! Thank you so much for watching 💚
Thank you for the video, it helped me a lot assembling my milsbo ☺️
Hi Borbala! I am so happy it helped you assemble yours 💚 that's awesome! Great work 🎉
Thank you!!
You are so welcome 🥰💚🌿
Excellent video guys! This was helpful!
Thank you so much for watching! 😁
Gosh, this video was brilliant! Took me one go with no mistakes thanks to you, thank you!
Hi Christopher! Aww awesome 😁 I'm so glad it was helpful and saved you some time 💚🌿 Thank you so much for watching!
@@Melisawith1Schannel I reckon it probably saved me an hour. It took 45 minutes to do because of the mistakes you identified which I reckon 80% of people would make. Really worthwhile video, thank you!
@@christophermills1733 Amazing! That was my goal with this video haha to help others save some time 😁 Thank you for your feedback!
Thanks for the tips, helped me before building it!
Hello skypink! That's awesome to hear! This video was kind of a vlog style since I chatted about my plant stuff too haha but I'm glad it was helpful, and probably saved you a bit of time too! Haha I'm sure it turned out great! Thanks for watching 😁
Yeah, I did this by myself with no help from a UA-cam tutorial in a few hours. I'm shocked how easy it was (I'm an idiot and never assembled anything with glass)...although I don't understand Step 28. I still have to attach it to my wall if I can, but it isn't necessary. Glad you like it!
Hi Twig! Awesome! I'm glad it worked out for you 😁 yeah I don't have it attached to the wall and it's been totally fine! Thanks for watching💚🌿
You saved my day. Great video made even better intention to help dumbs like me. Thanks to you wonderful partner.
Hello! I'm glad it was helpful 😊 We are all learning as we go 🌿
@@Melisawith1Schannel keep up the good work. Both of you are so beautiful. God bless
OMG so helpful thank you!!!! I was left with two screws at the end? Not sure where they went. But the cabinet came together nicely.
Hello M Dye! Congrats on putting it together! Did you install all the shelves? It may be for the middle part of the shelves, or maybe just spare screws! Enjoy your cabinet 😁💚🌿 Thank you so much for watching!
Hi! Any ideas why the lock is not locking even when I turn it?
Hello! I would suspect that the latch is loose or not attached? Do you hear it moving at all when you try to lock it? You could ask IKEA's customer support and Maybe you can get an exchange for the door? Thank you so much for watching! 😁🌿💚
Thank you for this video!
Hi Sydney! You are so welcome! 😁 Thank you so much for watching💚
Building 4 months after buying.. that sounds a lot like me (but more because of laziness) 😂😂 Yes recording while doing anything makes it take SO much longer than it should. Good job building it, it turned out so well! I’m very excited to see how you turn it into a greenhouse 🌿🌿
Oops I forgot to add the laziness part to my confession 😆 just kidding! I just didn't need it... I waaaanted it 😇 I'm doing the setup today! Stay tuned and let me know if you have any other ideas that I can add to the cabinet 😁
Thank you! 😊
You are so welcome Sylvia 😁 Thank you so much for watching!
@Melisawith1Schannel We were really at a loss when it came to installing the glass side panels, which seems thin and wobbly and too tall for the space.
Ikea instructions never give quite enough information, whereas your advice included essential advice. Thank you again 🙂
Awe I love to hear this! I appreciate the positive feedback 😁 I'm glad you were able to successfully put it together 💕
Thank you so much, you helped me a lot ❤
Hello!! Aww Awesome! Thank you so much for watching 😁🌿💚
Your video helped me a lot putting together the Milsbo. IKEA instructions might as well be in Greek! Thanks
Hi Kelly! Aww thank you so much for letting me know it was helpful 😁 Congrats on putting it together! Thank you for watching 💚💚💚
What is the weight limit on each shelf
Hello Abdullah! Good question! I'm not sure and I didn't see this information in the manual. Maybe you can ask customer service? I would say I don't have more than 25lbs on the glass shelf (ex. when my plants have been watered). Let me know if you do find out 😁 Thank you so much for watching 💚🌿
had a hard time finding out what screws were used which is REALLY important
Hi Courtney! So sorry! It can be challenging with the screws haha I didn't add that part in the video unfortunately! But the manual does have pictures to show which screws go where! I hope you were able to work that out 😁🌿💚 that's for watching!
very informative. thanks. one question. can it take a lot of weight..like keeping my ceramic plates and cups and glasses. thinking of using it in my kitchen/dining
Hi Nilotpal! Thanks for watching 😁 I would distribute the weight! Maybe the ceramic plates can go at the bottom instead of on one of the glass shelves. You can put the cups and glasses on the shelves 😊 just my opinion though haha
Do you think you could add different feet to the bottom or does it become a fall risk?
Hi Sarah! The feet are a specific shape where they are angled a bit and gradually get wider at the bottom if that makes sense. I think if you can find something similar it could work. You could probably find a picture of the piece on their website to compare! 😁 I hope this was helpful🌿💚 Thank you so much for watching!
I think you made a slight mistake at the end when you hung the doors. The doors have slots that the tabs on the cabinet lid insert into before they are secured with the pins. This prevents the doors from being hung upside down as you initially did. I found this out the hard way--I initially put those tabs on *top* of the doors like you did but had to loosen the bolts attaching the cabinet lid to do this (just like you). When I retightened the bolts, I bent the tabs; the doors would only swing freely with the bolts untightened. I discovered my mistake while watching your video, straightened the bent tabs and inserted them into the door slots...it all works better now. I notice you don't show the top of your cabinet at the end of the video. I am guessing you have a gap between the lid and the vertical posts in the front. Anyway...thanks for the helpful video. I agree with your fiance that the product is well designed. Good luck in your marriage!
do you have to use the base with it?
Hi Michael! If you are talking about the legs and the bottom shelf then yes because that holds up the frame and the glass 😊 You could skip putting on the legs though (I hope this makes sense) 💚 Thank you so much for watching!!😁
How long does it take to assemble?
Hi Josh! I guess it depends haha I think it took us 2 hours, since we made some mistakes (and I was recording). But, hopefully after watching this video it will take you around 1 hour? 😁💚 Let me know how it goes!
Can I build this without the legs?
Hello! I would say no. From what I remember the posts and doors go into the holes that are attached to the top part of each leg (the rectangle section at the top that's attached to the base). I hope that makes sense! Thank you so much for watching 😊
@@Melisawith1Schannel Thank you 😁
This video is so helpful and well done. Thank you!!!!
Hi Toni! Aww Thank you so much for watching and for the feedback 😁💚 I'm so happy to hear it was helpful!
