Vintage IKEA? Need help identifying!

hey there!

my husband spotted this stashed in a shed (atill in its box!) at an estate sale this weekend and I can’t find anything about it online. Does anyone know anything about this one? Super curious!

Thank you!

HELP! How can I find, or recreate, this Vinterfint Wall Decoration/Christmas Tree

Happy Saturday! I am using the current accordion-style Vinterfint wall decoration to make a surprise for elderlyfamily out of state. I am looking for the older version to make a more modern, minimalist version for their kid who is helping me sneak the surprise into their suite at the nursing home. Does anyone have the old Vinterfint Wall Decoration that was wood and string for sale, or any good suggestions on how to recreate it? I've attached a pic for reference.

Guess I'm the newest member of the Spontaneously Exploding IKEA Glass club

A glass I had been drinking from during dinner audibly shattered in the next room and I found it like this. It had a little water left in it, and I can't find any external force that came in contact with it which would have caused this. Been using this set for about a year.

A quick google search about glasses randomly exploding led to another post and reports in this sub about the same thing happening.

Cheers 🥃

Edit: apparently POKAL glasses are notorious for this.

IKEA changing it’s scented candle design

This is really random and I’m a bit late, but the scented candles have changed to a new series and I think the old ones are discontinued now. Do you find the old scents and covered lids better or the new plant based ones better? Will the old scents ever return? Just wanna know what people think

Released and removed before it hit the store

It was listed in the "new products" for few days and I was waiting for it to be in the store but last week the page was removed completely from the site. HAVSSALLAD clamp spotlight.

I could not find any article on recall products, anyone saw or bought it?

XBOX Platter Wall

Finally completed my project. I posted yesterday about my ordeal with finding these things without scratches. Been wanting to get rid of our old metal decor for a while and finally saw something I liked. The platters are a bit smaller than what used to be there but I’m happy with the result. Hung them up with Command Velcro. Very last photos show what used to be there. Was a process removing the old screws, covering the holes, and repainting the wall. Paint is still a bit wet in some areas lol. I got it done though

HI HELLO I LOVE IKEA!!

I have a huge hyper fixation over IKEA, and I've made a custom sweatshirt, I have the logo printed out on my wall near my bed, my Aftonsparv, Zerbert, and a slideshow of facts I've been working on :D I've loved IKEA for around a full year now :)

offer of employment average response?

For any Ikea employees out there I'm curious on how long since from your interview did you receive an offer of employment?

I applied for "Fulfilment & Replenishment Operations Co-worker."

I'm currently unemployed and went in for an ikea interview 3 days ago (2 business days.) I'm still applying to other jobs in case I get some bad news from ikea, but Ikea is my top choice. I don't think it's a wise choice to email the recruiter so soon for an update, but I also may have to turn down job offers from other companies while waiting.

TIL: ikea germany doesn´t publish (all) negative reviews online

i´m a bit upset. since I live close to the border to NL, i sometimes shop there; so my german "ikea family" account doesn´t "know" which products i bought. that´s only to explain why my reviews on the german page aren´t marked with "verified purchase".

So i posted a rather detailed negative (2 stars) review of two of the kajplats white&color led, and a short but positive (5 stars) of the grillplats plug. none were marked as "verified purchase", sadly. guess which review(s) made it?

only the 5 star one.

i think it absurd that a company actually stoops so low to keep the review score above 3 stars. my complaints with the kajplats were / are valid. they seem to use a slightly different led setup OR the software control has changed to achieve more brightness, but it also dilludes the colors more in comparison to the older tradfri. so tradfri IS the better led bulb in my book. or has higher quality control. because two of the two kajplats i bought were simply bad and stood out like a sore thumb inbetween the tradfri.

and since ikea can actually answer / react to the reviews on their page, i would have liked to read from them what´s wrong about my 2 stars review.

while there ARE negative reviews, most evolve around "didn´t know i need a smart hub" or "doesn´t work!!!!!!!!".

EKENÄSET (new)

Bought a EKENÄSET chair yesterday.
Noticed whilst looking on the app that there was a number of new variants and styles listed - high backs, grey-blue, leathers etc.

Thought some may be interested to know that the new version of the kilanda light beige has noticeably walnut effect woodwork than the old variant which many reviews said the woodwork looked almost black. I wonder if this is a ‘fix’ that they’ve looked to implement in the new variant.
Current article number: 505.334.92
New article number: 806.243.39

This was based on a UK purchase.

Kallax glass shelves part help!

I have these glass shelves for the Kallax from a long time ago. Had them in a set of black Kallax that I’ve since sold and been given a white set that I now want to install the shelves into.

But I have lost the installation part circled in the attached photo due to a house move.

I’ve tried to contact Ikea for a replacement and eventually they have said I’d have to go in to a store because it doesn’t have a product code/it’s not classed as a small part labels. My nearest is over an hour away.

Does any have one or know the measurements it would provide to install my glass shelves?! Wanting to put two shelves in one opening.

Ordered a "Now or Never" item for delivery. Now, the page says it's OOS across the board. My scheduled delivery is over a week out. Will I get it?

I've heard horror stories of people ordering items for in-store pickup, only to go and learn the item wasn't there because their order hadn't reserved the item for them, and it sold out between the time of the order and the time it would've been picked.

I'm in Canada. I ordered a Baggboda coffee table for delivery, which appears to be coming from the Ikea distribution center in Beauharnois. Has my Baggboda been "reserved" on account of my order, or is this a similar situation as the above example? Should I expect an email telling me it's OOS?

Cheers.
