    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. ua-cam.com/video/QS1KUKTMJXM/v-deo.html&ab_channel=OriginalFurnitureReviews

    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 💕

    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 ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-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.

    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!!

    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.

    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

    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.
