Use this as an opportunity to take a look at the recalls in your country so you do not have something in your home that should have been returned.

The IKEA website provides stock information when you select your store on the article page, please check there before posting. You can also sign up for back-in-stock notifications by email or SMS.

Stock check requests in the comments must include the following information:

  • Country
  • Preferred Store(s)
  • Article number(s)
  • Acknowledge you checked the website before posting. If a delivery date is listed this would be the same information co-workers here would have available. Instructions are as follows: https://imgur.com/a/GnoCoHh

Retail co-workers are not able to advise on availability for online orders. I have heard from a call centre co-worker that they are not able to check stock at the distribution centres either, and that only the IKEA website can provide this information by adding the item to the shopping cart, and seeing if a delivery option is available.

Tips & Tricks Is it possible to set an automatic schedule for the dimmable light bulbs?

Post image
47 Upvotes

I would like to create my own sunrise alarm clock but lamp only. A lot of the sunrise alarm clocks are either 1- very expensive and/or have a monthly subscription or 2- have a less gradual light up and I’d like them to be softer. Additionally, it would be nice to use the lamp as needed in the evenings etc and then have it slowly turn on in the mornings to add light to my bedroom, automatically at 7:00 or what have you.

I’ve seen some hacks on TikTok etc about using a Google home hooked up to it, but I’m hoping to do it without an additional app or product, just via the IKEA app. From what I can gather, there is a schedule mode on the app but I can’t explore it without adding the products to it, which I don’t have yet.

Anyone who uses the IKEA home with dimmable lightbulbs, can you tell me if it’s possible to schedule something like:

- 7:00 very dim/10%
- 7:10 dim/20%
- 7:20 dim/30% etc etc?

General Mounting a monitor arm to an IKEA IDASEN desk

• Upvotes

Hi, just as the title suggests I was curious if anyone knows if it is safe to mount a monitor arm to the IKEA IDASEN (non standing version), or is the tabletop too fragile and will it risk breaking or bending using an arm. I was considering purchasing one this weekend and mounting my 27inch monitor to it, but was a bit scared when I heard the inside is like a honeycomb paper filling or something, but I also read that for many people they didn't have any issues and saw some YouTube videos where people mounted their monitors and it seemed fine. Thanks :)

General How do I order this Pax unit? 100cm + 100cm with sliding doors + 50cm with a hinged door?

• Upvotes

I'm trying it on the customiser, but choosing any door applies it to every section.

I've tried doing it with the 50cm unit separated from the rest but that doesn't work either.

As a bonus question, is it possible to copy over my design from the Pax customiser to a room in the 'Kreativ' design tool?

Looking for Trying to find a desk top

Hi, like five or six years ago I bought what I believe to be a Lagkapten/alex in Toronto Ontario Canada, except now I’m trying to get a new desktop and I can’t find this colour? I can only find straight white the grey or the black. I’m going to be honest this seems like hell to me. I hate those ones I love this one. The desktop is shredded to bits, has water damaged, and stained to hell and back. I need a new one but getting what I think the available colours are seems like actual hell to me. Can anyone see if they can find the product I actually bought? Because I DID buy it here. Thanks for any help

Assembly PAX hinge issues

Post image
2 Upvotes

We’re currently setting up our PAX wardrobes (three in total) and have run into an issue with the doors and hinges.

All the doors appear to be identical, with no left- or right-specific versions. To install a door on the opposite side of a wardrobe, we’ve had to flip it upside down.

Initially, everything looked fine, but we’ve since noticed that the hinges sit at different heights when the doors are flipped. This limits where we can install shelves and drawers inside the wardrobes.

Are we missing something in the assembly process, or is there a different way the doors are meant to be installed?
Thanks for your help!

General IKEA BESTÅ, enough space and airflow for consoles?

Post image
2 Upvotes

I’m moving out soon and considering the BESTÅ setup for my TV. I’d put my Xbox One in one of the open compartments and keep another free for a future console.

My main concern is whether the openings are tall enough and provide enough airflow to keep the consoles cool.

Ideally, I’d like doors that cover only half the height instead of roughly three-quarters, but I can’t find that option.

Any suggestions?

I bought a Lagkapten tabletop for my setup and I have noticed a couple odd things. I bought this maybe less than two months ago and almost instantly there was a chip, I never brought any sharp items near it only my laptop 2 monitors and a Xbox sits on it. Also today I have noticed that the sides and top part are separating. I know ikea desks are hollow and have cardboard hexagons inside but I didn’t know it’s this weak.

General separate shelves for Knoxhult 40 cm?

Product: 503.267.89

Are there separate shelves available for the Knoxhult 40 cm? I can hardly believe they aren't offered. I'd like to drill additional holes in a cabinet so I can have more than just the one shelf that comes with it. For my bathroom, I need dividers that are shorter than the 2x 35 cm ones.

Looking for Clear plastic Kallax inserts?

1 Upvotes

I use several Kallax units as storage in my hobby shed, mostly for storing fabric. I'd love to have the fabric stacked in clear plastic bins so I can easily see what's inside, but I am mystified that IKEA doesn't seem to offer this, and I haven't found any third party options in the right size either. Ideally these would come with a lid, but beggars can't be choosers. Anyone know of a secret source of clear plastic kallax inserts? What does everyone else use to stash fabric in kallax? I'm currently using open-top fabric/cardboard inserts with a clear panel (from Amazon), but these clear plastic bins have become a slightly odd obsession, because I don't understand why they don't exist, and doesn't everyone want them?

Design advice Set positions: mostly beneficial to petit locations/mall notations.

0 Upvotes

(So sorry for my wall of text but, I been thinking abt this)
-
Genuine good job market idea. Gives more opportunities, brings in more employees with higher sell rates, gives larger opportunities both in growth and position.
IKEA could probably rlly benefit from something like this. ‘Large/specific set’ actors. Helps people understand the use of product better as well as gaining attention to the set.
It would bring a massive part time job pool into the arena of jobs, as well as most likely, better customer gain with performance and sales.
-
I honestly found it a bit surprising they’d launch smaller locations at select malls before this, it would make more sense to officiate this role before opening mall locations. Especially since they’re the most beneficial at malls

For a dishwasher at end of cabinet run would a 5/8" cover panel and fixa rail cabinet supporr suffice, and would the panel need to be secured to the floor? The countertop will be laminate. Don't have much room and looking to keep the width to a minimum. It is beside the fridge and will see a bit of heavier activity eg unloading groceries. Appreciate any comments.
