I am trying to assemble the Vihals TV unit and I have a problem with one of the shelves. It doesn't seem to fit properly into the bracket, even after adjusting it to the smallest setting. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?

The issue with the shelf not fitting properly into the bracket is likely due to a misalignment or a problem with the pre-drilled holes. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the problem:

1. Double-check the alignment of the bracket. Ensure that it is installed correctly and securely into the frame.

2. Inspect the pre-drilled holes in the bracket. Make sure they are not damaged or misaligned, as this can prevent the shelf from fitting properly.

3. Try adjusting the shelf position slightly. Gently move the shelf back and forth to see if you can get it to align with the bracket.

4. If the shelf still doesn't fit, you can try carefully enlarging the pre-drilled holes in the shelf using a drill bit slightly larger than the original holes. This may help the shelf fit better into the bracket.

5. As a last resort, you can contact IKEA customer service for further assistance. They may be able to provide a replacement part or offer additional troubleshooting advice

I'm having trouble assembling the VIHALS TV unit and I'm stuck at step 2 where it says to attach the shelves to the frame using wedge dowels. The instructions don't seem clear on how to do this. Can you provide more detailed guidance or perhaps a video tutorial?

To attach the shelves to the frame using the wedge dowels:

1. Locate the pre-drilled holes on the inside of the frame where the shelves will be placed.

2. Insert the wider end of the wedge dowels into these pre-drilled holes, making sure they are securely in place.

3. Align the shelf with the wedge dowels, then firmly press the shelf down onto the dowels. The narrow end of the dowels will slide into the holes on the shelf, locking it into place.

4. Repeat this process for the second shelf, adjusting the height as needed.

The key is to ensure the wider end of the dowels are properly inserted into the pre-drilled holes on the frame first before pressing the shelf down onto them. This wedge design provides a sturdy, secure connection. Let me know if you have any other questions
