Questions

What tools do I need for the TROFAST frame?

The hex key (100006) in the box for the 16 long screws, and a cross-head screwdriver for the 18 screws that hold the rails.

Why are there long and short dowels?

The 8 long dowels (101354) go right through the dividers, joining the middle strips to the outer strips; the 36 short ones (101350) join the other boards. The manual crosses out a short dowel where a long one goes.

Why is the frame built upside down?

The manual builds it on its top: the dividers stand on it, the bottom and the plinth go on above, and the sides go on last. It is turned the right way up before the rails go in.

Are the storage boxes included?

No. The frame comes with its 18 guide rails; the TROFAST storage boxes and shelves are sold separately.

Safety

From IKEA’s product page: the frame comes with its guide rails; the storage boxes and shelves of the TROFAST series are sold separately. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth.

About this guide

The steps, the part numbers, the counts and the order come from IKEA's assembly manual AA-344735-4 (2016-06-28). The outer size, 99 × 44 × 56 cm, is IKEA's published size. The frame’s width, depth and height are IKEA’s; the boards’ thickness, the strips’ and the plinth’s height and where the holes are are read off the manual’s drawings, so they are close, not measured. The 3D runs faster than real hands do.

The manufacturer's instructions are on IKEA's product page (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 TROFAST are named only to say which product this guide is for.
