IKEA BESTÅ Assembly Berlin –
floor-standing or floating
BESTÅ is IKEA's most flexible system – and the one with the most assembly pitfalls. We build TV benches, media walls and floating configurations, mount the suspension rails securely and set up push-to-open fittings properly.
What matters with BESTÅ
Floating BESTÅ installation stands or falls with the suspension rail: it carries the entire weight including contents and must be anchored in the wall, not just the plaster. In Berlin Altbau walls (hollow brick, clay plaster) the supplied screws will not hold – we use injection anchors or heavy-duty fixings matched to the wall type. Then come the details: hinges and push-to-open only work with precisely aligned fronts, plinths must be levelled individually on plank floors, and on multi-unit walls the first rail decides the alignment of the entire run.

Frequently asked questions – IKEA BESTÅ
Yes. What matters is anchoring the suspension rail: in hollow-brick and clay-plaster walls we use injection anchors instead of the supplied screws. The unit then holds permanently, even fully loaded.
Usually the hinges and push-to-open fittings are not tuned to each other, or the frame is out of plumb. We adjust both on every assembly – also retroactively as a service visit.
Montage und Fix Berlin charges from €65 for floor-standing TV benches, from €79 for floating installation with rail and from €149 for multi-unit media walls. Fixed price including travel to all Berlin districts.
Yes, in the same visit. A TV wall bracket up to 65 inches costs from €65 on its own and from €29 together with the BESTÅ assembly. We align bracket and rail on one centre line and route the cables behind the TV bench.
