JONAXEL frame with wire baskets step 4 of 7: Level the frame at the wall

The parts' sizes are our 3D model's own estimates: close, not measured. The frame’s and the baskets’ outer sizes, the hardware’s sizes, the 15 mm tube and the box weights are IKEA’s; the rails’ heights and shape, the stops, the baskets’ wire grid, where the wall brackets sit and the inner shapes of the brackets and spacers are our own estimates, so they are close, not measured. IKEA publishes only the outer size.

03Tools & materials

Tools
	Assembly toolIn the bag: set on each bar end while the hammer taps it, so the hammer never hits the bar.	In the box `10004342`
	Spirit levelLaid on a straight board across the top rails, to check the frame stands level while the feet are turned.	You need it
	HammerTaps the bars onto the posts, always over the assembly tool from the bag, never on the bar itself.	You need it
	Cross-head screwdriverDrives the 2 wall screws through the wall brackets.	You need it
	Straight boardLaid across the top rails for the spirit level to lie on: the frame is wider inside than the level is long.	You need it
	Two padsThe side frames stand upside down on them while the bottom bars are tapped on: pieces of the carton do.	You need it

Questions

What tools do I need to assemble JONAXEL?

A hammer and a spirit level, a straight board to lay the level on across the top rails, and a screwdriver for the wall screws. The assembly tool (10004342) that takes the hammer’s blows on the bar ends is in the bag.

Which bars go at the bottom?

The two bars whose end caps have a square hole: the adjustable feet screw into those holes. The two with a small stub on each end cap go at the top, where a second frame would sit.

Why are there 2 clips (10004344) left over?

They join a second JONAXEL frame stacked on top of this one, round the two frames’ bars. With one frame they stay in the bag.

Do I need the wall spacers (124461)?

Only where a skirting board holds the frame off the wall. Up to 3 mm, screw the brackets to the wall alone; for about 10 or 15 mm, put a spacer behind each bracket, turned the right way round for that depth. Here the skirting board, with a light strip above it, holds the frame about 10 mm off the wall, so both spacers go on.

Do I have to fix JONAXEL to the wall?

Yes. IKEA says a frame used without castors, or with another frame on top of it, must be fixed to the wall with the 2 brackets in the box. The wall screws and plugs are not included: use ones that suit your wall.

How much can a JONAXEL wire basket hold?

IKEA gives a maximum load of 7 kg for each wire basket.

Safety

Furniture that tips over can cause serious or fatal crushing injuries. IKEA says a JONAXEL frame used without castors, or with a second frame on top of it, must be fixed to the wall with the 2 wall brackets in the box. Wall screws and plugs are not included: use ones that suit your wall, and ask a professional if you are not sure. Each wire basket holds up to 7 kg. For indoor use only.

About this guide

This is an independent 3D engineering guide modeled from physical hardware specifications and standard fastener part numbers so you can identify your pieces before building. The outer size, 50 × 51 × 70 cm, is IKEA's published size. The frame’s and the baskets’ outer sizes, the hardware’s sizes, the 15 mm tube and the box weights are IKEA’s; the rails’ heights and shape, the stops, the baskets’ wire grid, where the wall brackets sit and the inner shapes of the brackets and spacers are our own estimates, so they are close, not measured. The 3D runs faster than real hands do.
