I have a Bekant shelf unit and I'd like to attach some decorative trim or molding along the edges. Can I use adhesive, such as double-sided tape or hot glue? Or is there a specific recommended method for attaching these types of decorations to the shelf?

I love the idea of using this Bekant shelf unit as a room divider, noticeboard, and clothes hanger. I'm planning to use it in a small apartment where space is limited. My question is: Are there any additional accessories or hardware available that can help me customize the shelves further, such as adjustable dividers or hooks for hanging bags?

To further customize the BEKANT shelf unit, there are a few additional accessories and hardware available:

- Adjustable dividers - BEKANT shelves are designed to be adjustable, so you can add dividers to create custom compartments and organize your storage. IKEA offers a range of shelf dividers that can clip onto the shelves.

- Hooks - There are various hook accessories made by IKEA that can attach directly to the metal frame of the BEKANT unit. These include single hooks, double hooks, and even angled hooks that allow you to hang bags, coats, or other items.

- Magnets - As mentioned in the product description, the metal surface is magnetic, so you can use magnets to attach notes, photos, or other items to create a customized pinboard.

- Cable management - IKEA also sells cable management accessories like clips and trays that can attach to the frame to help keep cords and cables organized.

These accessories allow you to fully customize the BEKANT shelf unit to fit your needs in your small apartment space

I am having trouble assembling the BEKANT shelf unit. I have all the parts, but some of them don't seem to fit together as described in the instructions. Can you provide more detailed guidance on how to assemble the unit?

To assemble the BEKANT shelf unit, please follow these steps carefully:

1. Ensure you have all the necessary parts and hardware as listed in the instruction manual. Double-check that none of the pieces are damaged or missing.

2. Start by attaching the side panels to the top and bottom shelves. Make sure the holes on the side panels align properly with the pre-drilled holes on the shelves.

3. Secure the side panels to the shelves using the screws and tools provided. Tighten the screws firmly, but do not over-tighten.

4. Next, attach the back panel to the assembled frame. The back panel should fit snugly into the grooves on the side panels.

5. If you're having trouble getting the parts to fit together, ensure that all the components are properly aligned. You may need to gently tap or adjust the pieces until they click into place.

6. Once the main frame is assembled, you can then add the adjustable shelves and any additional accessories, such as hooks or magnets.

If you continue to experience difficulties, please double-check the instruction manual or contact IKEA customer service for further assistance
