Tools you need
- Cross-head screwdriver · Not in the box: the legs’ manual asks for it, to prick the holes through the template and drive the 12 screws; it also drives the wall screws.
- Spirit level · Not in the box: laid on the top to check the cabinet stands level, as page 16 shows.
- Drill · Not in the box: page 13 drills out the middle of each wall fitting with an 8 mm bit.
Not in the box: EKET legs (their own box), Wall screws and plugs.
Questions
What do I need besides the EKET cabinet?
To stand on the floor it needs legs or feet, sold separately (this guide uses the EKET wood legs, 10 cm), and screws suited to your wall to fix it there. The manual also asks for a drill with an 8 mm bit and a spirit level.
Which way round does the back panel go?
Its white side faces into the cabinet; the bare side with the warning label faces the wall.
What are the wall fittings and their caps for?
They sit inside the back at the top. Turned out until they touch the wall, the caps hold the top of the cabinet off the wall so it stands straight; the screws through the screw plates hold it to the wall.
How much can the EKET cabinet hold?
IKEA gives a maximum load of 7 kg.
Safety
From the manual: furniture can tip over. Fix the cabinet to the wall with its screw plates and screws suited to your wall.
About this guide
The steps, the part numbers, the counts and the order come from IKEA's assembly manuals AA-2702567-1 (2026-03-11) and, for the legs, AA-2196566-3 (2026-09-23). The outer size, 35 × 35 × 35 cm, is IKEA's published size. The cabinet’s size and the legs’ height are IKEA’s; on its legs it stands about 45 cm high. The panels’ thickness, the back panel’s set-back and where the fittings sit are read off the manuals’ drawings and IKEA’s measurement drawing, so they are close, not measured. The 3D runs faster than real hands do.
IKEA gives a maximum load of 7 kg.
The manufacturer's instructions are on IKEA's product page (PDF, legs PDF). If something here differs from the manual in your box, follow the manual.
The 3D models, drawings and text are our own. IKEA and EKET are named only to say which product this guide is for.
