We were investigating customizing our primary bedroom closet and visited IKEA. We really liked the design options and they configured an entire system for us.

We can assemble the cabinets but I was hoping a handyman would help because you have to fasten them securely to the wall and it appears that some of the molding near the floor needs to be cut.

Has anyone had someone install IKEA closets for them, or knows someone capable who can help? We would be very appreciative of any feedback you could provide. Thanks.

The molding is easily cut with a reciprocating saw, I have one you can borrow, or I could cut the molding for you. Many of the studs are metal and you typically need special holders for these, I ended up with several of these left over. Let me know if interested.

That's so nice of you. I don't know if we have metal studs since my home is sided and not concrete block, IKEA didn't have all the items in stock, so this might be a little while until we get everything, and I especially didn't want to order anything until I knew everything was available.

I would need some guidance in the beginning since this is all new to me, so anything help would be greatly appreciated.

I will send you a PM so we can talk on the phone.

I realize that you have been working with IKEA however you might consider Easy Closets. They were very helpful and the product was excellent. Installation was reasonably easy.
