Questions

Why does the VIHALS sideboard have two different short Euro screws (10048881 and 146114)?

The 12 slightly longer pan-head screws (10048881, 13 mm) attach the four cabinet drawer runners to the thick side panels and partition in steps 1–3. The 20 shorter screws (146114, 10 mm) fasten the six lip handles (10071494) and the four drawer-side runners so they do not poke through the 16 mm fronts or 12 mm drawer sides.

How do the wedge dowels on the sides and partition lock into the bottom and top panels?

The side panels and partition come with factory-fitted ribbed wedge dowels on their top and bottom ends. Drop the dowels into the wide ends of the keyhole slots in the bottom panel (steps 6–8) and push each upright toward the front until it clicks; then lower the top panel onto the upper dowels (step 14), push it toward the back until it clicks, and secure both panels at the back with the four hex lock screws (10077982) in step 15.

How many doors and shelves does the 140×37×75 cm VIHALS sideboard have?

It has two bays separated by a central partition, with one adjustable shelf (max load 18 kg) on four pins (10051660) in each bay, two full-width drawers at the top, and four doors below—two hinged on the outer side panels and two hinged on the central partition.

Safety

This sideboard must be anchored to the wall with the enclosed wall brackets, using screws and plugs that suit your wall, so it cannot tip over when the drawers and doors are opened.

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, 140 × 37 × 75 cm, is IKEA's published size. The outer size and max. shelf load are IKEA’s. Board thicknesses, drawer sizes and hole positions are our own estimates. The 3D runs faster than real hands do.

IKEA gives a max. load of 18 kg per shelf for this sideboard.

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 VIHALS are named only to say which product this guide is for.
