It has been my recurrent source of home decor inspiration. I wish Ikea made more of them. The book reminds me of the domino edition ones. So many timeless ideas.

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?

i’m really at my wits end with these doors!

i’ll start by saying that yes i did read the manual, but for all three hinges, while attaching to the door at points A, B and C as directed, the screws will barely tighten three rotations before they won’t budge anymore. I’ve tried with multiple screw driver heads, but they seriously will not move at all past that point!

i’m able to slide the mechanism up and down the track with a little bit of force (not sure if this part is intentional? couldn’t find much info on that on the ikea website, in the manual or online) and it seems kind of wobbly in the lip of the door itself, with the middle hinge (C) popping out entirely when I tried to open the hinge. even with a LOT of force, that hinge refuses to move to the ‘open’ position.

is this normal? should i request different hinges? i’ve followed all instructions so far in the manual but it shows these screws being able to be tightened a lot more in the diagram. i really can’t tell if this is fine and i’m overthinking it, or if it’s a faulty part/improper assembly :(

i’d really appreciate if anyone with more experience with these doors could weigh in!

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 :)

Hej everyone, I hope you are well!

I just bought the boastad TV furniture and just noticed the board weight limite of 40kg, my TV is exactly 40.5kg.

Will I have any issues if I put my TV on top of it?

Cheers everyone.

I wasn’t sure in which community to share this post so here we go. Thank you very much in advance for your help!

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?

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

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!

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’m just wondering why the shelf pegslots have two higher positions in the front. I understand the need to lean the shelves back to stop books from falling, but almost 3 inches is crazy!

Shelf fell over and hit me on the head when I was making it, the brackets got pulled when it was falling and broke out of the wood and are kinda wobbly now when I try to put them in, how would I go about fixing this? Or should I just get it replaced?

Is this art?

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.

Has anyone gotten their own piece of glass made for the top of the Hemnes 2 or 3 drawer bedside chest? How much did it cost?

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.

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?

(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

I am assembling my Metod kitchen, i have this piece left from one of the cabinets, but i can not remember from which one? Can anybody help me identify from which one it is, and if i actually need it?

I am planning to buy a few of these (35x25x35) and was looking to add doors to a few of them, but i don't quite like the glass cabinet door that goes with them. I was trying to see if i could use kallax doors for them and I wondered if that was even possible

I bought a billy bookshelf second hand one of the pins holding the shelves up is missing, any idea where I can get a replacement?

Be honest yall, are any of the ikea couches worth buying?! I don’t want to waste my money.
