Questions
What tools do I need to assemble the NISSAFORS trolley?
No extra tools are needed. The 3 mm L-shaped hex key (190094) for the 16 frame screws is included in the box, and the 18 snap sleeves, 18 snap pins and 4 castors push in by hand.
Why does the deep bottom tray take 8 screws while the other two trays take 4?
The deep bottom tray uses two screws at each corner (4 per side frame, 8 in all) to brace the two U-shaped side frames and keep the trolley square, while the middle and top shallow trays use one screw at each corner.
Why shouldn’t I tighten the screws all the way in steps 5 and 6?
Leaving a small gap under the screw heads while you attach the first and second side frames lets all three trays settle square so every hole lines up. Once all 16 screws (190419) are started, tighten them firmly in step 7.
How much weight can the NISSAFORS trolley hold?
IKEA rates the trolley for up to 7 kg per tier and 21 kg in total.
Safety
IKEA gives a maximum load of 7 kg per tier and 21 kg in all. For indoor use (and bathroom use in a splash- and water-free area), tested to EN 16121:2023 (Test Parameter 1, General Use), and not approved for food contact. Re-tighten the screws when necessary.
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, 50.5 × 30 × 83 cm, is IKEA's published size. The overall dimensions, load limits and spare-part numbers are IKEA’s; the tube section, tray rim heights and hole positions are our own estimates from the product photos, so they are close, not measured. The 3D runs faster than real hands do.
