IKEA BESTÅ storage combination with drawers instructions

To help maintain the smooth operation of the BESTÅ drawers, here are a few tips:

First, check if the drawers are properly aligned. Ensure the drawer slides are securely attached to both the drawer and the cabinet frame. If they are loose, tighten the screws.

Next, clean the drawer slides and the interior of the cabinet frame. Over time, dust and debris can build up, causing the drawers to stick. Wipe down the slides and frame with a damp cloth to remove any buildup.

You can also try lubricating the drawer slides. Apply a small amount of silicone-based furniture polish or lubricant to the slides. This will help reduce friction and allow the drawers to glide smoothly.

If the issue persists, the slides may need to be replaced. Replacement drawer slides are available from IKEA. Follow the instructions carefully when installing the new slides to ensure proper alignment and operation.

With these simple maintenance steps, you can keep your BESTÅ drawers sliding like new

To fix a stuck drawer on your BESTÅ storage combination, try the following steps:

1. Check if the drawer is properly aligned. The drawers have integrated push-openers, so they need to be aligned correctly to open smoothly.

2. Gently pull the drawer out as far as it will go. Then push it back in firmly, making sure it slides back into the track properly.

3. If the drawer is still stuck, check the push-opener mechanism. Ensure there is no debris or obstructions preventing the drawer from opening.

4. Adjust the drawer hinges if needed. The hinges are adjustable, so you can fine-tune the alignment horizontally and vertically.

5. As a last resort, you can try lubricating the drawer slides with a silicone-based furniture polish or lubricant. This can help the drawer glide more smoothly.

If the issue persists after trying these troubleshooting steps, you may need to contact IKEA customer service for further assistance

The integrated push-openers on the BESTÅ storage combination drawers can be adjusted to change the sensitivity. Here are the steps to do this:

1. Fully open the drawer you want to adjust.
2. Locate the small adjustment screws on the sides of the drawer runner mechanism.
3. Use a screwdriver to turn the adjustment screws clockwise to increase the force needed to open the drawer, or counterclockwise to decrease the force.
4. Test the drawer after each small adjustment until you find the sensitivity level that works best for you.

Making these small adjustments to the drawer runners will allow you to find the right balance between easily opening the drawers when you want to, but avoiding accidental openings when just trying to close them. Let me know if you have any other questions

To eliminate the wobble in the drawer, you can try adjusting the drawer slides. First, fully extend the drawer and locate the small screws on the sides of the drawer slides. Using a screwdriver, turn these screws clockwise to tighten the slides. This will help stabilize the drawer and reduce any side-to-side movement. You may need to make minor adjustments to both sides of the drawer to ensure it is aligned properly. If the wobble persists after tightening the slides, you can also check that the unit is level on the floor, as uneven surfaces can contribute to drawer instability. With a few simple adjustments, you should be able to get that drawer operating smoothly again
