VLOG: Renovating our pantry with IKEA'S BOAXEL shelving system (corner situation)
Channel: Chris and Shang
Date: 2022-01-14

We recently decided to give our pantry a make-over because it was really not well-utilized before. Because the BOAXEL-manual is not exactly clear about a lot of steps we decided to film the whole thing so that you might be somewhat less confused than we were. Here's the individual steps and some remarks/tips&tricks:

00:00 What we are going to do
01:40 Painting done; how we will install Boaxel the corner
02:28 Step one: How to measure the height of and fix the top (horizontal) bar
03:50 Which screws, plugs, and drill bits you need (spoiler: the manual is super unclear about this) 
05:53 Leveling out and fixing the top bar (+ tip for iPhone users)
07:04 Quality of IKEA plugs is bad, please buy different ones lol
07:44 Hanging the side rails in place
07:54 Clicking in the first shelves and making sure they are level
08:51 Marking the 16(!) holes you need to drill
09:20 Dissembling the whole thing again to drill...
10:22 Putting the rails and shelves back on the wall + fixing them to the wall 
10:27 Installing the second shelf (on the other side of the corner) and how to make sure it's at the same height
12:15 Installing the top bar
12:35 Marking + drilling the holes for the side rails 
12:55 Clicking in all the triangles and shelves
14:17 Be careful when hammering in the triangles!
16:40 DONE
16:47 Shelves don't align perfectly, here's (maybe) why
17:54 Final remarks + bye!!!
