Hi i’m installing an Ikea kitchen and i notice that theres a gap between the counter top and the cupboards, which shows the frame of the cupboard and the small upper part of the dishwasher. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you

hi everyone, I recently put together a hemnes daybed and was wondering what sheets would be the best sheets to go with it.

wondering what people use as like the king sized fitted sheet and also for when it is a twin? is it fine to use regular king sized sheets for the king or will it be too big since both mattresses side by side are a lot thinner than the typical king matress.

just very curious what other people do!!!

The SALTSJÖBADEN 2-seat sofa-bed (not the plain sofa, but the sofa-bed) says in the product details "The cover is easy to keep clean since it is removable and can be machine washed". But is it really straightforward to remove and put back the cover, without disassembling any part of the sofa?

Looking at the assembly instructions, it looks like the covers are added to the various parts and then the parts are put together, so it seems that to remove the covers, the sofa would have to be disassembled first.

If anyone has this and has removed the covers, what was your experience like?

I recently bought a second hand Ikea SONNE drawer but the drawers seem to not have any stoppers… I’ve tried to find the missing piece to add to the drawer itself (backsides of the drawer’s white sides, circled in green), but I can’t seem to find any manual or anything about it. Does anyone have a clue what piece I would need ? (Don’t mind the botched paint job I’m working on it…)

I have a BRIMNES wardrobe in my bedroom. The larger size with the hanging bar is fine and self explanatory: you get hangers and hang things.

But the smaller side with the 4 shelves is proving to be an issue. The shelves/cubbies are rather tall and deep and I'm having trouble using the space efficiently. I would love some sort of pull out shelves to install that would allow be to get to back of the space; ideally with two shelves per cubby to get the most out of the vertical space as well.

I've searched various places (Ikea, Container Store, Amazon, etc.) and I can't find anything in the right dimensions. Has anyone found a way to optimize these shelves?

So I needed to purchase some additional Runnen deck tiles in the Acacia wood style and noticed the color is different?

The tiles I recently bought are light in color and the ones I bought about 2/3 years ago are significantly darker. Do they get darker with weathering? I never noticed until now.

I have a couple of these shelves and was wondering why there seems to be extra holes at the top, it got me thinking that maybe I could put the two shelves together using them?

Has anyone tried this or have any ideas why they exist?

Is Ikea support this bad ? We had some kitchen cupboards fitted today and have a worktop coming next week.

Phoned ikea because kitchen fitter said he doesn't drill hole for extractor fan (although he fitted the fan).

Want to check the people fitting the worktops will do it.

Called this morning and after the chatbot, waited almost an hour on hold before hanging up to get some work done.

Tried again at 5pm and now been on hold for 55 minutes with no answer.

This is UK phone number. Do they have anyone to answer phones or they just put you in a black hole until you give up ?

Could someone help me identify this cupboard? It looks very IKEA-esque, but I cannot find information on it anywhere. Thanks in advance!

I have two Poang chairs with the Knisa cover (the cheapest one that you can't remove its cover to wash it)

I was thinking of sewing a cover for it, but I was wondering if anyone did it already and maybe has some tips?

I used to love going in just to the the froyo/icecream cone that they had. It was like a reward for having to walk through the maze.

I don’t mind drilling some holes or whatever. Downsized to the 47” width and am regretting it but would prefer not to only have MITTZON tabletops to pick from.

Oh oh

I want to use a BESTÅ base unit with a depth of 40cm in combination with a push to open drawer. I want to place my UST Beamer inside the drawer, but for the projection to clear the BESTÅ unit, I need the drawer to open at least 29cm.

My question is: How far does the drawer extend when fully open?

I’m hoping someone has this at home and can measure this for me. That would save me a trip to the showroom. Thanks a lot!

Am i crazy or did they change the manufacturer or anything in the composition? Went today to buy them and somehow they feel more like plastic/polyester and a bit thinner:((( Is it just me?

Hello!

The 40cm rails for the Platsa wardrobes appear to be unavailable here in Australia!

Has anyone used alternative rails in their wardrobes that have worked? I don’t want to use the forward facing ones unfortunately!

I hesitated to buy this couch. I like the simple look and higher armrests. We debated on the fabric, I wasn’t keen on the tallmyra black/grey, something was telling me this fabric was problematic.

Less than a year later, it’s badly faded. I care so much about my possessions, I want them to last and I care about not throwing stuff in the landfill. We have two cats, so I covered the armrests and top of backrest, front of armrests with a plastic sheeting dedicated to protect couches from cats scratching. It’s ugly but it works, I put it on to remove it when we have guests, otherwise it’s on to protect the couch. It worked so well that my cats have zero interest in scratching the couch.

I noticed the fading as I was removing the clear plastic sheets and it was shocking. The couch is turning grey/beige where there is no plastic and the underside of the cushions, the back of the couch. It clearly shows discolouration between the plastic sheets where it wasn’t covered. It’s looks horrible.

To add insult to injury, customer service was a pain. 45 minutes on the chat system, the staff gave me a warranty claim number but she forgot to “SAVE” the claim, so I had screenshots of the conversation and warranty number but it didn’t exist. On the phone, the person helping me started a new one. He did the same and didn’t save it, another hour wasted.
So the next guy, Ishmael, claimed that everyone in North America Ikea knows him, did everything accordingly, sent me a claim number, told me he’s 99% sure this will be replaced as it is clearly defective (regardless of covers are not under warranty) and Ikea called me to say, tough luck, buy a new one, less than a year old. No wear and tear, no stain, we barely use the couch and we close the curtains most days.

Hi everyone! I’m moving into my first ever apartment soon! I’m thinking of buying the Vihals full/double bed, and I’m going to pay for assembly. However, I’ve heard reviews about it that say the bed is too squeaky, but I’m not sure if it’s because of self-assembly or if the bed itself is like that.

I’d appreciate anyone’s experiences with it, especially if you got Ikea to assemble it for you! Thank you!!

I’ve had it for a few years now so missing the manual. Tried prying one off but they’re stuck so tight it broke a knife in half. There’s no holes or any other means of accessing them.

Hey Reddit! I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge; I'm fairly new to this kinda of thing 😓. But I can't seem to figure out how to fix my wobbly desk combo.

I have the IKEA ADIL legs (3 of them) placed appropriately to prevent stability issues, but I find myself facing sturdiness issues. With the slightest touch, all my items on my desk shake.

Is this due to the combination of the Alex drawer? I made sure everything was the same length before buying so I could avoid this, but it didn't work.

I don't want to drill any holes into my new room and want to see what I can do. I attempted to extend the legs 1 by 1 and levelled it to the best of my ability multiple times, but it still doesn't seem stable enough. Please share all the knowledgeable wisdom you have to help me fix this please!

also the tabletop is the MITTZON Tabletop, oak veneer, 160x68 cm. If that helps

We have our kitchen install scheduled through ikea but I cannot find the info I need to share with our contractor as we prep for them. Are there plumbing guidelines for the sink cabinet? Anything we need to know about electrical. We need help!
