How easy is it to assemble Ikea trofast furniture?

[RedHelenB]

Would be doing it on my own.

Very easy. Couple of bolts and a supplied Allen key. I am rubbish at DIY and even I can do them.

[shufflebum]

Very!

I am usually excellent at putting ikea furniture together, but failed at the trofast I blame pregnancy.

Dd built ours when she was 7, with no instructions...

[OddFodd]

Very. You do need a hammer/mallet though. And it's quite heavy to flip about. Always assemble on the cardboard - it makes a really good surface to slide stuff about on and you can rip off a corner to act as a pad for the hammer

[HaveToWearHeels]

Very easy but agree with OddFodd some of the bigger unit are really heavy.

Thanks folks! Might give it a whirl!

Very easy, we got some on Sunday for my daughter who got too many xmas presents that we had to buy storage to go under her loft bed. The nightmare for us was getting the stuff home in the car. A back seat had to be put down and I was balancing on half a seat and the unit. Ouch.

How biig a unit did you get?
