Ikea Komplement assembled incorrectly

Hello everyone,

I made a mistake with the large complement drawers for the Pax and installed the bottom panel of the drawers not first, but after the side panels. When hammering in the side panels with these plastic screws, I already noticed that something was wrong, but still forced them in with force I am sometimes a bit impatient. Unfortunately, I then saw that this strangely bent edge of the bottom panel did not hook in. Now I can no longer remove the plastic screws and cannot properly hook in the bottom. I fear that the drawer will not withstand any load.

Can someone please help me?

Thanks and best regards!

Hello, I would first try to separate the side walls from the back wall again with a few strong blows. Be sure to apply the force only along the length of the back wall so that nothing breaks off. If that doesn't work, drill out the plastic dowels and get new ones from customer service. Good luck.

Hello Ikea expert,

thank you very much for your reply. I had already reserved drilling out as a last option. I guess that’s what it will come down to. Thank you for your assessment and have a nice evening.
