BESTÅ TV unit
Before you begin
Four large preparation and safety panels show required tools, two-person assembly guidance, assembling on a soft surface instead of directly on the floor, and reading the instructions or contacting IKEA if unsure.
Step 1
Install 8 cam fittings into the panel holes, check the panel edge orientations in the two zoom callouts, then fold one long side panel upward along the base.
Step 2
Sixteen cam screws are twisted into the predrilled holes of the two long base panels, with a zoom inset showing the screw orientation and installation.
Step 3
Two side panels are lowered onto the installed connectors on the two long base panels, with zoom callouts showing the correct top-edge orientation of each side panel.
Step 4
Insert and turn four cam locks into the side and bottom panels, following the allowed part-number panel and not using the crossed-out cam type.
Step 5
Screw two metal clip brackets onto the boards, then slide the assembled boards together until the clips engage as shown in the hand callouts.
Step 6
Two interior vertical panels are lowered onto the base between the side panels, aligning with the preinstalled fittings and holes.
Step 7
Four screw-in inserts are installed into the indicated holes of the center panel using a screwdriver, with callouts showing the correct insert type and orientation.
Step 8
The cabinet body panels are lowered into the base track and aligned, with detail callouts showing how the panel edges seat into the channel.
Step 9
The top panel is lowered onto the cabinet assembly and seated into place, with detail callouts showing the upper edge fitting under the top piece.
Step 10
The cabinet is turned over and 4 cam locks are inserted and rotated into the top panel from both the left and right indicated positions.
Step 11
The partly assembled unit is folded closed and two slide pieces are inserted from the right into the center joint, with a zoom callout showing parts 144351, 144352, and 144353 used twice.
Step 12
A long panel is slid into the center opening from the right and pushed fully into place, with zoom callouts showing the fit and a hand pressing the piece inward.
Step 13
Attach two metal joining brackets across the center seam and tighten the screws into the side rails, aligning the lower bracket with the groove as indicated by the hand.
Step 14
Connect and route the electrical cables across the cabinet tops and down through the center cable guide between the two cabinet units.
Step 15
Snap the top cable cover/rail into place over the routed wires, with inset details showing the cover hooking in and clicking down at both ends.
Step 16
Use the hex key to adjust the four threaded feet and level the cabinet while checking interior and side positions.
Step 17
Fine-tune the cabinet level by turning the feet from underneath by hand while monitoring the cabinet's vertical alignment.
Before you begin
Safety panel showing the TV bench must be secured to the wall and not used unsupported or tipped forward.
Step 18
