BESTÅ TV unit assembly

BESTÅ in every configuration: wall-mounted floating, on legs or on a plinth, with or without push-open / soft-close.

Floating mount
BESTÅ floating on concrete, sand-lime brick or plasterboard — reinforced brackets for extra load.
Cables hidden
Power and HDMI cables run through the wall, back panel or a cable channel — no messy snake under the TV.
Drawers aligned
Drawers parallel to the millimetre, push-open tested, soft-close without a thud. Small detail, big difference.
Light integration
IKEA STRIPS LED with dimmer or motion sensor fitted inside the unit, cables finished out of sight.
TV bracket
VESA bracket separate or integrated onto the BESTÅ — tested up to the specified TV weight, screws checked.
Glass and wood
Glass or wooden fronts, push-open or classic handles — any configuration within the BESTÅ system.

Floating IKEA BESTÅ TV unit in walnut veneer in a modern living room at blue hour

01 — Detail

Floating starts at the wall.

For a floating BESTÅ only two things matter: the right wall bracket and the right plug for the wall type. A plasterboard wall with only a cavity plug won't hold 60 kg; that needs a continuous batten or a screw into a metal stud underneath. We sound out the wall, choose the bracket, and only then lift the unit.

02 — Detail

Cables through the wall, not alongside it.

We drill a feed-through behind the TV and a second feed-through in the back of the BESTÅ, and pull power plus HDMI in a single loop. Nothing visible on the wall, plugs hidden behind a cloth inside the unit. The result is furniture without a dangling snake — exactly how IKEA shows it in the catalogue shot.

03 — Detail

Push-open is an adjustment, not a gamble.

A BESTÅ door that won't pop open, or pops out but doesn't click back, isn't faulty — it's a two-millimetre adjustment at the magnetic latch. We measure, test, and set each door so it opens with one light tap and closes with a finger.
