r/IKEA

Hi! I purchased some Ikea Kallax Bookshelf inserts secondhand and am wondering how far in each box do I drill to attach the inserts?

I see there is a plastic measuring piece that comes in the package but I do not have that.

Thanks!

Hello everyone.

We bought a Brimnes bed to swap an older one we had, but we decided to reutilize the frame (Luröy), however in the old bed the "locks" would put pressure on the frame to keep it in place, however the Brimnes had this gap and doesn't "stretch" the frame. It's kinda lose. Does it work anyway or do I risk it falling out of place? Should we just buy the Lindbåden that seems to have larger boards?

It should work am I right?

Just spotted at my local Ikea, thought you guys would like to know.

Furniture in video are from the last tenant. Will be empty when I move in. I am kind of regretting signing the lease now that I see how small it is furnished. The bathroom is inside the bedroom, left wall between the ikea cabinet and the cube wall thing in the corner. Ideally I want to have a desk with two laptops and a single monitor, and a table to eat on, play games if Invite a friend or two over (even though I already feel ashamed of the thought of inviting someone over).

I’m trying to figure out if this particular cabinet needs feet or if I can just set it on the floor as is. I know online it says it needs feet but I’m wondering if I can get away without them. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Got the Billy book cases in February 2025. Just got the oxberg doors today (May 2025) and finding they won’t close. Any one else have this issue or know how to fix?

This was my second ikea kitchen I built with a hidden walk in pantry. To do so buy the 90” tall cabs and cut them down to 85 in. Do this to however many you have connected to it. I had 3 plus an over fridge cab. Connect the two doors and build toe kicks out of cover panels that connect to the bottom of them with 1/4 in gap from the floor so they will swing open freely. See pic 2. Not the prettiest but works well.

On the cab that you will walk through leave off the bottom. On the others glue and screw in the bottoms. Build them line 80” cabs with a 5” gap at the bottom and cut toe kicks out of cover panels making sure exposed sides are finished. Because there are no 100” cover panels I used doors on the edges. Also had to not use the hanging rail and make the connecting brackets flush with the back of cabinets so doors would fully cover the sides. I’m happy with it.

3rd pick is whole kitchen but can’t see the coffee bar in the other corner. Total cost under 20k with quartz counters included. Thank you ikea!!!

I made these a total of 105” tall. They are 90” cabs cut toe kicks 85 then a 20” tall on top.

About 3 years ago we re-did our kitchen with ikea. The cabinets were mostly white high gloss (i think Ringhult), but our 2 islands were Voxtorp Dark Walnut. As you can see in the pictures, one of these cabinets just started peeling off. I tried to just buy and replace it, but they have discontinued the dark walnut. I called and emailed the store and corporate, and we dealt with them back and forth for months. They said it's water damage, but I don't see how water damage would just peel a corner off like that.

After months of back and forth they said it was water damage so they won't cover it under their warranty. Honestly, I wasn't even trying to get a replacement for free. I would have paid for the part and service and I told them that, but they won't answer me anymore.

Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do now? Ikea won't help me, and they discontinued the part so I can't even buy it to replace it myself. The only option I see is to replace everything in my kitchen that is Voxtorp Dark Walnut, but that will cost me significantly. And after only 3 years I don't think it's fair for me to have to do that.

I cant find it when i google scan it but they said its from ikea

I am super confused right now as to what this piece is supposed to be as I don't see any piece in the kit that matches that description, if I had to hazard a guess that is the cardboard it came in but beyond that I'm clueless, any help is much appreciated.

This SJÖSS charger has been out of stock for months at my location but I see it is in stock at other locations. Article number: 106.184.45

A different SJÖSS charger has been on “Last chance to buy” for a while.

Is the charger I’m looking for going that same way or does someone know when it will be restocked? It’s not available for click and collect but is available for delivery but I don’t need anything else so it doesn’t quality.

A couple of months ago, I bought a few IKEA FÖRNUFTIG Air Purifier units and also purchased the optional carbon filters. However, the particle filters were out of stock at the time, but I assumed they’d be restocked soon.

After contacting IKEA India customer support, they said it’s not possible to provide any timeline for availability. It’s now been nearly 3 months, which makes me wonder if the filters have been discontinued.

Should I consider returning the purifiers? I didn’t expect this from IKEA, especially since they’re still selling new FÖRNUFTIG units and replacement particle filters for the IKEA UPPÅTVIND Air Purifier and IKEA STARKVIND Air Purifier models, which I also own.

I have a Poäng chair with the following label attached, but, as the date number has five digits, I'm unsure how to read it.

Could anyone please help me with identifying when this was made?

Thank you so much!!

Does anyone know the weight limit for a Tärno 100x54 table can hold?
