IKEA Värde Sideboard - Assemble Drawers

Hello,

I am in the process of assembling my VÄRDE sideboard (the one with the 12 glass drawers). The basic frame is standing and I have easily screwed together 4 drawers. But the other 8 won't go: So first I screw in these pins, put the wooden dowel into the side drawer parts, put them onto the front, and screw them together. That works so far. Then I slide in the bottom, that still works. But when I want to attach the back piece of the drawer, it doesn't work: it then sits crookedly on, so that only the lower screws can be tightened. I think I have identified the problem: the bottom goes into a guide groove. The problem is probably that on some side parts this groove is offset by about 1 mm, so the bottom cannot be pushed fully into the front piece.

Does anyone have a solution?

Hi,

so if I understand correctly and it is really only about 1mm, it might help you to not fully tighten the screws at the beginning, but just a little, so you can slide the bottom in, because then you still have a bit of leeway and can then fully tighten it. It’s worth a try. Otherwise, you would probably have to go back to your Ikea and have the corresponding parts of the VÄRDE replaced.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you!
