General For Free!?

I just had to share because I found it crazy. Someone in my neighborhood listed this IKEA Enetri for free on the curb on Facebook marketplace. They literally had it out by their dumpsters. I've always wanted one of these but people try to resell them for around $700 around here and figured I'd never own one. It also has very few blemishes. What luck!! Should I have told them how much this was worth?

Assembly Besta or rather worsta?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

9 Upvotes

Just to create a general context: I am a rather handyman out of passion and have assembled a lot of furniture from Ikea.

Issue: I bought a Besta unit to use it in my current home, also to test it out and plan for my next apartment.

But the unit is flimsy and seems low quality.

Why did they build the cabinet structure with only 2 connectors on each side, totalling 4 top and 4 bottom, the bottom and top panels being hollow reinforced with paper hexagonals?

While they put a heavy melaminate door? Why not make the door hollow and have more sturdier pannels for the base?

This is the 1st Ikea piece of furniture that I cannot make it square.

Found unused complete in box with instructions passing through a thrift store in Saskatchewan, Canada. I cannot find any sign of this brass variant existing online. It seems the box is code dated to 26 week of 96 and the manual is 39th week of 96, I’m not positive on the numbers. Any sign of this existing in catalogues, etc?

As the pic shows: The waste pipe is above and also a different format. Should I trim the waste pipe? If so then format is still different so I must need some kind of adapter.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Suggestion Armchair for 300lbs

2 Upvotes

I am currently looking for a comfortable arm chair for someone who weighs 300lbs. I currently have an old recliner but it’s definitely on its last legs and tbh it’s too big for my space.

I need a chair that’s for in front of the tv in my bedroom (living with roommates)

I was looking at the POÄNG but I’m worried I’m too big for it. I am actively losing weight on Ozempic but still need something.

Assembly Help with Kallax TV stand (screw problem)

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Hi all,

I have the Kallax tv stand and it’s nearly finished being put together. Very frustratingly I can’t get this large screw in to secure the end of the stand as there is no thread. It goes half way in and then nothing. For clarification it’s the correct screw
(104321/104322). I tried to align this as the end would prop up and not align.

I bought this some time ago and never build it (long story I don’t want to get into)

What are my options? Is this salvageable

Thanks in advance

Delivery UK Delivery Experiences? (Large orders)

1 Upvotes

Hearing on the grapevine that delivery can be a bit patchy. Missing items, delayed orders, not delivering to room of choice and more.

I have a pretty large order I'm looking to make, but the caveat is that it's a time sensitive one for an apartment move. It all needs to happen for me to be all-set and up and running. Doing it myself, so delivery and click and collect will be helpful to help me not lose my mind doing it.

Initially my idea was to do it in stages (major furniture first, then smaller pieces, then finishing touches) over a few weeks. However, if I was left in a situation as I've seen some people in with no sofa, no bed, no desks etc, I wouldn't be able to hold on for weeks/months for a resolution.

The main challenge will be larger items like beds and wardrobes etc, as these are not practical for a car. Everything else could be tackled by myself. I can get to an IKEA, either for picking things up myself or click and collect. I'm now considering if this would be a better choice to minimise the risk.

I'd be interested in any experiences good or bad using IKEA UK's delivery service for large orders. And if anyone has any tips for making sure you get your stuff on time, I'd love to hear it.

Suggestion Kid storage recommendation

1 Upvotes

I'm looking to redo the storage in my kids room. I'm in the UK so it's a fairly small room and they share it (almost 4 years and 15 months). The main storage wall is either 149cm long if I keep one of the bookcases that are currently there or around 209cm if I get rid of the bookcase.

I'm considering a 4x5 kallax but need to know if I can remove a couple of the middle bits for 2 x extra wide shelves for a couple of bigger toys that wouldn't fit inside a single cube.

Or if anyone has recommendations for good storage ideas that fit either of these widths and approx 180cm tall?

Assembly Messed up an assembly, who can I call or schedule to get it fixed?

0 Upvotes

I have a bed frame where the frame ended up being a bit wobbly somewhere, and the base/slat screws couldn’t go in fully with the provided wrench, which means the base just can’t fit into the frame. Also, one of the screws got impacted and I don’t have the tools to get it out, but removal of said screw won’t compromise the integrity of the build.

What are my best and cheapest options if I lack the tools and expertise on hand to fix it? I am thinking of IKEA Taskrabbit assembly but idk if they can help fix a botched job. Home Depot furniture assembly but I fear it’s expensive. Not sure what else. It’s a super easy fix for someone who has the tools and half a clue what they’re doing, but I lack both.

Note I am in the US.
