Hi everyone, thanks for watching my IKEA Aurdal Closet storage installation video. I have built quite a few closets with IKEA products but this one is the best deal for the money. Let me know in the comments below how you feel about IKEA closet products. - Joey.

Great job! I have similar dimensions in my closet. I want to utilize 3 walls of my closet, so can this Aurdal system handle corners? Can I customize the width of each section/shelf ?

Hi I just want to say Thank you very much for this video and thank you so much for explaining so well how to assemble this cabinets. Before I found you video I had already watched many videos on how to put shelve in my closet and I saw tow deferent videos and the women did not explain anything on how to assemble or the if it was hard or easy and one of them had her husband helping her so I thought it was hard. The sad part is they never said it came in as a whole set already or the price $$ of it like you did! So thanks alot 😊

As someone who had never taken on a project like this, and hardly knew how to use a drill, your video saved me hours of confusion and frustration! My Aurdal system came together surprisingly easily thanks to your clear and concise instructions. Keep up the good work!

Love this video. It's very clear and concise it doesn't waste time with unnecessary chatter, I like the way you think organized and explain all the little things a person might forget to think about. Extremely useful 💪👍

Thank you for making this video! It was a massive help while I was installing my Aurdal closet. Without it, it probably would have taken me 3X longer to complete.

Wow! This looks so simple! I never knew this system existed at Ikea. I'm glad I came across this video because I want to do a custom closet in my walk-in closet. Great job! 👍🏾

Love how you slow it down an explain where its actually underable..thank you

Thanks for making our closet job so much easier with your video! Great job! 👍🏼

Just the information I needed for my new home. Much appreciated!

Thanks so much for filming this, helped me a ton with my install!

I love how to tell and show your works in detail. I'd learned so much on your channel and your videos. Thank you so much.

Omg! This was so satisfying great job!

Awesome video! Thank you! I love the gray. It looks very posh!

Super helpful, thank you! About to install one myself.

You are a genius! This is just what I needed to see.

This was a great vid. Besides the space from the wall mount that would of drove my ocd A$$ crazy, this is going to make my install very easy. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing this with us, it is very helpful to see how approachable this solution is. Seems semi-flexible as well.

Great job. You made it simple that I can do it myself. Thank you for a great step be step March 2024

You did an amazing job on diy closet can't wait to see what else you purchase for diy.

Thanks so much. This is a new product so I wanted people to get a good feel for it to deiced if it would work for them , especially since its at such a good price point.

I love the end result. If you painted the wall behind black, and add in senor LED light, it will be even better.

The frustrating thing was that I just painted that wall the day before the video. I had to take out the old closet shelves, repair the wholes and I repainted the whole closet white. All of it. Then I went to IKEA to get the closet parts and they didn't have the closet in white. They only had it in the grey. So I had no choice but to take the grey. Once I started assembling I realized that I was now going to see that bar across the back. UGH! Thanks so much for commenting. I agree with you for sure.

Great video, and very well presented with no annoying music! . I’m never good with written instructions so it make things easier to understand when you can see someone else do it first. I’m looking for storage and wondering if you can fit doors or curtain or something onto this?

I enjoyed this video. Thank you. It was very informative 😊

Awesome video! We finally got the rest of the parts we needed for our Aurdal system - it took us 2 months to find the drawers that came back in stock in the Long Island store and drove 1.5hr to pick them up. Can't wait to put them together and following this video tutorial! Thanks Joey and DIY Project Guys! :)

Wish I had this video a year ago when I installed my aurdal closet and struggled! Lol thanks for the review though

Thank you for shooting this in such details! Looks like the width of your wall is exactly three shelves wide. I am curious if the width is not perfect, I guess I can still use extendable rack, but there won't be any shelf that can match the width, is it correct?

Thanks for sharing this video very useful info, question how did you install the drawers without having the gap in between?

How wide is this when put together? I think you said your wall measured 71.25" and it looks like a pretty tight fit. I also have super limited space and am not sure I can make it fit.

Where are the white trays from? Love them!

Subbed!

Bad ass bro. Great video.

Can this be done without the legs? And maybe put an L.bracket at the bottom attached to the bean on the wal..what do you think?

you got lucky the width of the open space matched up with the width of three sections against each other. If it wasn't the case do you recommend cutting on section to get an exact fit?

Thanks for the video! Do you think it would be possible to assemble the vertical pieces and top/bottom shelves and slide them into place along the support rail? Our ceiling height is very low and I'm afraid I won't have the clearance to lift the side units up and over the rail, or to get enough force from above to install the top shelf.

I remember going on summer holidays in Aurdal, at the far end of the fjord, where there were the beaches were sandy and the girls were r.... I mean, dandy.

I bought the system, and IKEA is out of the support shelves. Yet they failed to mention that..any suggestions on other options for the support shelf

I'm planning on also doing this for our closets, our closest ikea just dont have everything we need currently.

@DIYProjectGuys

That was why I got the grey. I planned on the white. I painted the whole closet a fresh coat of white. Then I got to IKEA and they did not have the closet in white in stock. So I had to take the gray. If I had know that, I would have painted that back wall grey so the support bar didnt show. Thanks so much for watching.

Wow looks pretty cool, question what the total height including the bottom legs?

The only thing I don’t like about this system is the drawers do not have soft close feature, but I’m trying to figure out how to hack this

Is there any way you can create a video for how to put the drawers together. Somehow I’m catching hell

Seems like you installed the drawers with less spaces where you can use your hand to grab them to open. Are you planning on installing drawer handles to make them easier to pull open?

🔥🔥🔥

Those not near an IKEA outlet still might get some benefits from this video. I'm building shelves from free pallets I am hauling home from my mom and pop hardware store.

What product or item are the white trays you put on top of the shelves? This is an awesome video!! Do you think it is possible to cut the shelves and add the grooves to make a section "narrower"?

@DIYProjectGuys

2 жыл бұрын

I got the white trays from IKEA also but they were in a different part of the store. I just measured that area in the display and made sure they fit. They are just sitting up there, they dont slide out or anything. It would be tough to cut the shelves and add the grooves unless you have a router and know how to to it. But I guess if you have the time and the tools, its totally doable.

Hello, thank you for the video! Do you know how tall the legs are? Wondering what I could fit underneath the system.

Katherine, I have just over 7.5 inches of space under the cabinets. I slide my shoes under there. Thanks so much for watching.

with what Ikea charges for there stuff if I had a shelf that damaged I would get it replaced that was bad not just a mark crushed like that it will fall apart slowly

This looks amazing! I’m thinking about getting this system for our closet, but we have no wall studs to screw into. Ugh. Do you think this would be stable if I used toggle/bolt anchors?

@DIYProjectGuys

Hello. It will not be stable if you use wall anchors. Those support brackets are heavy and they have to go into beams. You might want to go with the PAX system because those are stand along cabinets that will work fine with the wall anchors. Thanks so much for watching.

@@kadyjoi Elvarli and Enhet are free standing. Well, the Elvarli has two types of supports. Post screws into the ceiling. But the side supports are free standing. Any of these should be secured to the wall to prevent tipping. IKEA has little kits for that.

My studs are 16in apart, in a 25 inch suspension rail its not possible to get 3 studs (recommended number of screws). Due to availability I am not able to find 49in suspension rail. I can get one screw in the stud for each rail. Do you think it would work? What other options do I have?

You are supposed to allow enough space between the draws to just reach on top of each one and pull them out. I didnt want to lose that space. I did end up putting handles on each drawer

I was wondering if someone was going to catch that. So, you are right, The way it is currently set up, I cant really get the drawers open easily. The options are to put more space between the drawers so you can reach into them and open them, which is how it is SUPPOSED to work. Or, you can put drawer pulls on them. I REALLY like the way it looks right now. So, I am going to get drawer pulls for them next time I hit IKEA. But the way they show this in the IKEA store, it has more space between the drawers. I like the nice and neat look of the drawers being close together. What did you think if the project? Not bad for a few hundred dollars and a tiny walk in closet, right? Thanks so much for commenting.

It's less than a hundred more than boaxel but looks a lot nicer without their wall hooks and components

I can't wait until the systems are back in stock in Maryland!! I prefer white so that back support bar doesn't show going across the wall.

Great video. My only question is this. Given that there is no hardware or handles to open the drawers, it looks like your drawers are too close together. I didn't see you actually open any drawers in the video. Seems like the space between your drawers is too small to stick your finger in and open the drawer.
