Summary
Aligning an IKEA Besta storage unit in Auckland Central required precise hinge and panel adjustments to achieve flush gaps and prevent doors from rubbing. The customer wanted all door fronts to sit evenly across the connected units and required someone experienced with IKEA systems. The IKEA Assembly job received five offers, and the customer selected the $100 offer. The customer chose a cabinetmaker whose quote covered labour, travel and the necessary adjustment tools. The assembler checked that the cabinets were level and square, screwed adjoining units together where they were loose, then fine‑tuned the door hinges and positions to get consistent gaps and smooth operation. The customer rated the completed task 5/5 and left the review: "Awesome help! Would offer more work again". The finished outcome was even gaps, flush door fronts and doors that open and close without contact across the whole Besta system.

Looking for someone familiar with aligning doors and panels on flatpack furniture. This is an IKEA Besta storage system and I want to get the panels + doors to all have perfect, flush gaps without bumping each other. Please let me know how you'll fix it in your message so I know you can do it! I won't accept any offers that don't mention what your approach will be.
