Can I build a Kallax unit by myself?

One of the 2x4 ones... how difficult can it be? I've built small tables and bookcases before.

I built the old version with no problems, built bigger ones as well!

I would say yes, though DH and I did our 3x4 one together.
We work remarkably well together on flatpack furniture.

I managed a double pax wardrobe with glass sliding doors. You will be fine!

Yes! I can do it too then. I will be confident!

Yea, definitely. I have built several 4x4 ones alone!

I'm rubbish at DIY but I can do kallax!

God yeah, it’s simple

Yes absolutely! But electric screwdriver makes all the difference, particularly if you’re putting doors on any of it - they were a pain!

IKEA flat packs are a piece of cake. The only time I’ve needed another pair of hands has been for big things like wardrobes.

They are very simple to put together. The only issue with doing it alone is sometimes you need one person to hold a large, heavy piece in place while the other person is screwing it together. The instruction manual will say if it requires 2 people.

I am terrible at DIY , really terrible and paid someone to put up our Ikea wall mounted cupboards and wardrobes and all our window blinds but I did all our Kallax units. They are pretty easy really

They are really easy - my 3 yo helped screw ours together with the Allen key!

I am putting doors on (hopefully!). Where did you get your electric screwdriver? Amazon? I've taken Monday off work to get the house sorted.

Yep I built one at about 30 weeks pregnant, it was fine!

Definitely yes to using a electric screwdriver though

Cordless screwdrivers - think mine came from Homebase, but just looked on Amazon and they have plenty there too

I built it at 8 months pregnant, you'll be fine!

My 10 year old has built several. Why wouldn’t you be able to?

Yes, very straightforward. Big space, radio on, cold drink and an electric screwdriver. I enjoy it

I built a 2 x 8 with doors and drawers. You’ll be fine.

Do they make a 2x8?!

Yes they make a 2x8. I've just ordered one.
