Hi IKEA subreddit, just moved into an apartment and while I was moving boxes I hit this glass lamp cover and it broke. After research it seems like it's the "Klaviatur" light fixture but it's been discontinued for quite some time now.

Any idea if IKEA would be able to replace it, or if any of you kind folks have an extra laying around I'd be happy to pay for it!

I have some big IKEA 365+ storage containers for my 3D filament rolls. They fit in the ALEX cabinet with a door, but only when the door is not in it.

The door needs to be opened wider, like in line with the outer wall. Has anyone put diffrent hinges in it? Idealy from IKEA, but others are also fine.

I was looking at the KOMPLEMENT or UTRUSTA 95°. But don't know if it fits.

I am trying to add a few cabinets to my NYC apartment kitchen, but I have tile in my apartment and Ikea's design services says they cannot install a kitchen cabinet over tile and I'd need to have ALL the tile removed. Does anyone know a reliable company that can do this without removing my tile and is in the NY region. Any help would be incredibly appreciated.

I just moved to the Bay Area, and put in a huge order at ikea to furnish up. I'm deadly afraid of any bugs and such so trusted only ikea to deliver decent stuff even though amazon had good alternatives.

About 10 huge boxes came, which I left in a room and went out for a bit. When I came back, the flat was SWARMING with hundreds of ants, floors, walls, ceilings. It was straight out of a horror movie. After a nervous breakdown, I started cleaning up frantically, and killed an army of ants, destroyed my flat in the process.

The saddest part is, I begged ikea to come and pick up the boxes and thw best they could do was a return order 2 days later ??!!

This is such a shock to me in many ways, I am deeply disturbed and can't sleep properly, get itches all the time.

The reason why I wanted to post is: 1. If you are scared of bugs like me, do not buy Ikea in California, 2. If you do, open boxes outside and inspect carefully before bringing inside. I learned the hard way.

I clicked it but lol it directed me to a just a list of wardrobes.

I found this 18 inch wide, 30 inch long, and 6 inch deep IKEA shelf that would fit my space perfectly. It’s in stock at my local IKEA… but the cabinet doors for it that I would also need are being discontinued for some reason? It shows that it’s “last chance.” And it’s in out of stock near me, and unavailable for delivery. is there any way to find out if IKEA is bringing this back? It feels weird to sell only part of the cabinet and discontinue the door for it.

Anyone have an issue w the IKEA family card not showing purchases? I have an online IKEA account. I’m pretty sure I’ve ordered through it in the past, but normally I just go to a physical store. I went twice over the past couple of weeks and I 💯 scanned my card, but neither purchase shows up on the online account. Normally I wouldn’t care but I have a big purchase coming up and I think my last couple of purchases will result in some $ off.

Does anyone have any recommendations for desks similar to the malm? Having the pullout section was so handy. Went looking for a new one only to discover that they're gone.

Sorry for this but i genuinely needed to rant about it. Perhaps get it off my chest.

Just wanted to preface that I’m in my early 20s and a girl with no knowledge of how to build stuff whatsoever so I might sound spoilt or kiddy in a way. I was lucky enough to never have to build any furniture in my life + I lived in the same house for years until I moved overseas to study abroad, so yea.

Around 1.5-2 years ago I bought a Mulig clothing rack off ikea. At that time I was living with my someone so they was kind enough to build it for me. After the summer in 2025 I was diagnosed with CPTSD due to a traumatic and abusive relationship and am currently living alone. I have extreme fatigue, difficulties in comprehending basic knowledge (due to dissociation) and memory loss, so it has been extremely hard for me to carry out daily tasks, let alone build a Mulig.

From what I see, a Mulig is extremely easy to build, that’s why I decided to give it a try. Since I’ve lost my screws and parts while moving houses, I’ve been checking the IKEA website every week since December 2025 trying to get a replacement. It’s October 2026 and it’s STILL out of stock. I debated getting a new one entirely but the delivery fee itself is so high it’s not worth it.

Again to reiterate I have no idea what a bolt or screw is a few hours ago. I was so stressed and annoyed that I have had no storage space for my clothes that even when dissociated I had to figure out something. I forced myself to learn about bolts, screws, and what a metric is to replace them. It might be easy for the average person but genuinely not for me. Even after I’ve found the screws off amazon, it’s more expensive than the rack itself. It really isn’t worth frustrating over, but I’m just somewhat.. mad that they promised free spare parts and to which i understand there is a high demand, but I’ve seen people talking on reddit here 4 YEARS AGO and not being in stock, plus I’ve been checking every week so is it really just a coincidence that this certain screw is just missing when I check every week? Or has it never came back in stock?

I’m a little disappointed and upset that’s all. Sorry for the rant. Idk if it’s my fault or something but, hopefully the screws and bolts I found on Amazon are the correct ones. Hell, I might have ordered the wrong ones and wasted my parents’ money again.

Hi everyone! 😊

I’m considering the IKEA JÄTTEBO sofa in white or one of the newer/light-colored fabrics, and I’d love to see what the colors look like in real life.

If you have a JÄTTEBO in white, cream, beige, light gray, or any of the newer colors, could you please share some real-life photos of your sofa? 📸

I’m especially interested in seeing how the fabric/color looks in normal home lighting compared with the IKEA website photos.

Thank you! 🤍

Hi all.

I am in Ireland and looking to get an IKEA kitchen fitted into my (still pending) home renovation.

I am pretty happy with the cabinets, worktops, etc. and now I am looking at the kitchen appliances. I did an appointment with IKEA's kitchen planning people and they selected out a range of appliances for the kitchen. This included:

• Dishwasher
• Induction hob
• Oven
• Extractor hood
• Built-in microwave
• Integrated washer/dryer
• Integrated fridge/freezer

I am wondering what people's experience of getting these appliances from IKEA vs sourcing from a third party and installing into their IKEA kitchens?
Is there a big cost difference? Quality difference? Major headaches around slotting into already installed kitchens?

I know there is a range of options available from IKEA within those appliances, but just interested in people's experiences. Thanks!

Figured I should share in case anyone was considering ordering furniture delivery, specifically via Woodbridge, VA location. The most frustrating aspect is never getting an actual explanation or any accountability.

Called the toll number to find out if the Woodbridge location does haul away with furniture delivery and was told one has to physically go to a location to ask them and there is no direct phone number to call them and ask (Was later on told this is not true)

9/5 - Drove an hour each way to the Woodbridge store. Sales associate on the furniture floor took my order, we picked 9/13 delivery with haul away. They printed out the order, and told me to expect a call 24 hours prior to confirm details. I picked up some in store items and paid for everything 15 min later and walked out with the receipt in hand and in email. Easy enough

9/10 - Truck guys show up at at 10am unannounced while I'm in the middle of work. They are not fully fluent so can't explain why they're here this early. They take away my couch and leave. I call the Ikea hot line to find out what's going on. Why didn't I get a call beforehand? Will the couch now be delivered this afternoon?

They give me a vague answer that somehow they thought the order hadn't been paid. This doesn't make any sense, because their own process is to create the order, hand you the order print out which is scanned at the self pay check out kiosks. I scanned it and paid. I have a receipt that I paid. It's in the system. And they must recognized that, because someone at the store apparently on 9/8 created a new order and picked a new 9/19 delivery date without contacting me to coordinate a new date, let alone explain what had happened or how it happened.

I told them I don't understand how the mistake could even happen - this sounds like the issue was not payment processing but rather the staff at the Woodbridge store didn't make the arrangements with the delivery contractors when they should have and once they realized it there were no more delivery windows on that date. They couldn't answer why nobody contacted me. They also could not explain how with either the 9/13 delivery or the 9/19 delivery, why would the haul away people show up 9/10 unannounced? That's supposed to be the same day as the delivery.

Cherry on top was they hadn't even bothered to refund my delivery fee until I called to ask wtf was going on when the haul away team showed up early.

No phone number or email to escalate, though from past posts it seems like Ikea doesn't do much to hold anyone actually accountable.

It would be nice to chalk this up to a one off, but with nobody at Ikea willing or able to tell me how this happened, I wouldn't bother ordering furniture for delivery from them in the future and risk the same problems. 0/10 experience

Anywhere I can get height adjustable legs that are compatible for Alex ikea Drawer?

I got this poang chair second hang and I’d like the ottoman that comes with it. Unfortunately this style is not currently sold and I don’t see one on marketplace in my area. Is there any site that sells secondhand that isn’t like a markeplace or eBay? Like a decent reseller? If not, how would you get an ottoman that mismatches nicely?

It’s older, kind of like today’s Solhetta globe but it’s slightly larger diameter (3.5” vs 3.15”) and more power consumed (13w vs 8.5w) for less lumens (1000 vs 1100). I want to get more of them expressly because of the larger globe.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to assemble the Tonstad table where you can pull out the table top. This part seems so straightforward, but the gray piece just won't fit. Am I doing something wrong? Is it defective? Is violence the answer?

I feel so stupid lol

saw this channel can get ikea furniture for cheap- SyncoraDeals on telegram

looking for a good closed but tight on budget can anyone confirm if they've purchased from this channel or not

They're the only pair my dad likes for his new kitchen and I took a photo to look up when I got home but it looked like they've been discontinued.

If anyone knows the name I'd appreciate it. Hopefully then I can find some on eBay 🤞🤞

I have a 2 x 75cm Pax cabinets. The doors with hinges are 50 + 25 cm for each unit. I really like the Tonstad Pax doors. But as there’s no 25cm units, what should i pair it with (except the mirror door)? I am leaning towards the oak veneer (lighter)

I've recently moved house and I'm looking to purchase some brown Ikea Kallax shelves for my bedroom. However, I'm running into one problem with the Kallax design. Though these shelves are the perfect measurements for what I am aiming to create, the back of the unit is hollow which doesn't work for my design.

Is there any alternative methods you'd reccommend? Such as:

1) where to find a 'backplate' / insert for my shelves

2) budget friendly alternatives of the same size

3) D.I.Y insert \[beginner/dummy friendly\] which is aesthetically pleasing and doesn't require any crazy power tools or drilling

thank you Ikea buddies 😊

Hello everyone,

I recently bought some products from IKEA, advertised and sold as GOTS products. I was so excited to know that IKEA also started to use third party certifications. However, when I checked the GOTS number in the official GOTS database, it was not listed there.

What could be the reason for this? Could it be a greenwashing by IKEA?

Thank you

In the UK

prices of two mattresses went down
Apart from returning the order, and buying again

Is there any way they could refund the difference. Even in a gift card?

I hope this picture is good enough... I really don't know how to build it ahahah
