Questions
What tools do I need to assemble the FJÄLLBO TV bench?
You need a cross-head (Pozidriv PZ2) screwdriver for all machine and wood screws, a second screwdriver to hold the four barrel sleeve nuts (152526) from outside the front legs in step 10, a spirit level to level the eight adjustable feet, and wall screws and plugs suited to your wall.
Why are the four front corner screws left slightly loose in step 10?
Leaving the four shoulder screws (152527) and sleeve nuts (152526) slightly loose while you fit the middle posts, wooden shelf and top panel lets the steel frame settle square on its adjustable feet before you tighten them fully in step 26.
Do remote controls work through the FJÄLLBO mesh doors?
Yes. The three doors and both side panels use an open diamond steel mesh that lets remote-control signals pass through while keeping consoles and receivers ventilated.
How much weight can the FJÄLLBO TV bench hold?
IKEA gives a maximum load of 30 kg on the solid pine top panel and 53 kg on the middle shelf.
Safety
Furniture that tips over can cause serious or fatal crushing injuries. IKEA says this TV bench must be fixed to the wall using the two brackets at the back of the top frame. Use screws and plugs that suit your wall, and ask a professional if you are not sure.

Tube and board thicknesses, the shelf notches and the tab positions are our own estimates, so they are close, not measured. The 3D runs faster than real hands do.
