Assembly Steps

Follow these instructions carefully to assemble your IKEA BESTÅ TV bench. Ensure you have all parts and tools before starting.

Tools Required: Screwdriver (Phillips head), Spirit Level.

Step 1: Attach the base supports. Insert 6 base supports (part 114947/115988) into the pre-drilled holes on the bottom panels. Ensure they are securely fastened.

Step 2: Assemble the main frame. Connect the side panels to the bottom panel using the provided cam locks and dowels (12x part 130618). Insert cam lock screws (12x part 130618) into the side panels and then secure them with cam locks.

Step 3: Attach the back support brackets. Use 2x part 144342 and 2x part 113287 to attach the back support brackets to the assembled frame.

Step 4: Insert the internal dividers. Slide the internal dividers into the designated slots in the frame.

Step 5: Secure the top panel. Use 4x cam lock screws (part 118137/122971/141028/130725/119253) and cam locks (part 130619/130722/141027/130723/130620) to attach the top panel to the frame.

Step 6: Attach the wall mounting brackets. Use 1x part 113287 and 1x part 144342 to attach the wall mounting brackets to the top rear of the unit. Repeat for the other side.

Step 7: Prepare for wall mounting. Place the unit in its desired location. Use a spirit level to ensure it is straight.

Step 8: Secure the unit to the wall. Use the provided wall attachment hardware (3x part 144343/144344/144345/144346/144347) to securely fasten the unit to the wall. Ensure you use appropriate wall anchors for your wall type.

Step 9: Install the shelf supports. Insert the shelf supports (part 115444/115443) into the desired shelf positions.

Step 10: Place the shelves. Rest the shelves on the installed shelf supports.

Step 11: Attach the cable management system. Use the provided clips and ties to organize cables.

Step 12: Final check. Ensure all screws are tightened and the unit is stable and securely attached to the wall.

Optional: UPPLEVA TV Mount Installation

If you are using the UPPLEVA TV mount, follow the separate instructions provided with the mount. This typically involves attaching a bracket to the TV and then to the TV bench, ensuring proper alignment and secure fastening.
