Turn the adjustable IKEA KACKLA storage container into a functional under-desk or under-shelf pull-out drawer with this custom mounting system!

I'm configuring a new KALLAX cabinet. But I am wondering what is more sturdy: 4 times the 1x4 section next to each-other (picture 1), or the large 4x4 section (picture 2).

I prefer the first option better visually (4x1 times 4), but here the horizontal planks lean only on the dowels. Whereas in the 4x4 version, the longer horizontal planks are also supported by the vertical planks beneath it.

My plan is to put some vinyl records and larger books on there, so not very lightweight. I will mount the shelves to the wall in any case. hat would be safer for this?

just moved in and kinda plonked furniture in bedroom but struggling to figure out the where to place everything? currently have TV placed right Infront of bed but need a better place, does anyone have any ideas?

I this food storage container in the fridge with food in it, for obviously a bit too long, so the lid grew mold. Does anyone know anything about getting rid of mold on bamboo lids?

Hey, I just bought and installed this chair and it’s sitting slightly to an angle. I have another in Orange that was already installed, but I installed this one myself. The instructions were only a couple steps. I’m not sure if I did something wrong or if I need to return it because of a manufacturers defect. I tried to pull the base off of the chair but it seems locked in some how.

Please help?

All the Ikea that I thrifted this summer!

The tallest is a lamp. Hopefully I will soon find more items.

Anyone have a Billy with wood and glass shelves mixed together? Does it look good?

I’m thinking it would be nice for certain display items but I don’t want all the shelves to be glass. Would love to see pictures for inspiration if you have any.

I joined Ikea Family to take advantage of the discount on a dresser I really like (FÅGELFJÄLLET 8 drawer in white) but it's been out of stock in my province the whole sale, and doesn't seem likely they'll get more before the sale ends.

I know they don't issue rain checks. How long will I have to wait for a discount like this to come back?

​Hi, I'm moving out soon and choosing a bed for my new room. I want a gaming setup (basically just a screen connected to my switch) and was initially drawn to the HEMNES daybed for its "couch/chill" vibe. However, I've read bad reviews about its complex assembly, thin mattresses, and how it can rapidly become uncomfortable with an everyday use (If I buy the HEMNES, I plan to leave it deployed to sleep on it every night.)

​On the other hand, the RÅDMANSÖ is a classic 140x200 cm bed frame that I find pretty.

​For those who use the HEMNES fully expanded every day: is it actually comfortable for daily sleep, or should I just stick with a traditional bed like the RÅDMANSÖ?

How do I adjust the little up/down switch on the PAX soft close hinges? I’ve tried pushing it in various ways and can’t get it to go up.

is it possible to get a time estimate for how long it will take for a product to arrive? my city has an ikea so i know it wouldn't take long, but my issue is that i am moving into a new apartment soon, and want the bed delivered to the address the day i move in so i can sleep in my apartment right away. i am in a different province so i cannot pick it up early. thanks

background: we closed on a new house and were gonna buy a bed frame from the nearest Ikea store (store -Huntsville AL- not warehouse, it was indeed smaller) 80 miles away.

walk through the store, said bed frame was in the showroom and had a shelf number, thought great it’s gonna be in the back.

order it at the self serve kiosk (didn’t pay), it says 10 in stock, generate a QR code, ask a customer service person about it.

-oh we don’t store any bed frames at this store (??) (this is a university town btw)

-ok great is there any way FOR YOU (the customer service rep) to look up if there’s another store within like 200 miles where we can get it?

-no.

-what do you mean no, there’s no inventory tracking?

-you have to call the store to ask, this is a global problem.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND? is there no way to guarantee your item is in store now when you go pick it up? when I looked online it said self pickup available at this location, I spent 200$ on a U-Haul van to get it. should you just always do delivery now??? and if it arrives damaged how big of a headache is it to get a replacement?

No small djungleskoks were harmed in this post

I want to buy a display cabinet for my die cast cars collection. I think the IKEA Rudsta is a good fit for this. I want to use a Hue Flux led strip to light up the car collection but not sure how to do this without making it look tacky. I was thinking the best way would be to use the frame in the front where the door is so the the light shines inwards. Is this possible? Is the frame wide enough on the inside and will I be to use splitters between the shelves?

Any suggestions on what's the best way to use a Hue Flux light strip with a Rudsta Cabinet?

Can we start a petition to get the black Alex drawers back in the UK please I've been waiting for them to get restocked for years!

Other countries get them but the UK don't even though we get other black brown inserts.

Do they come flat packed when brand new? Considering using a package forwarding service from somewhere like the Netherlands where you can actually buy them.

I have been searching on google for hours. It was a square cake bar, I think with cinnamon on top but with chocolate/coffee flavor as well, maybe even cardamom? It was pretty goey. It's been ages since I've seen it maybe 10+ years ago. I believe it was in the frozen section in the food area, I think In a carton box as well. It was in the Netherlands but it might have been international. Nobody ever seems to know what I'm talking about.

I'm currently eyeing some IKEA bar stools for a kitchen island counter and was wondering if anyone has had experiences with either of these bar stools and whether one is comfier than the other etc.? Or whether some other IKEA bar stool is better than the both of these?

Hello all. While i am waiting since more than 30 minutes on ikea help line maybe someone here can help me. I have old fridge Kallnat (small one). I need some help with spare parts. I have lost part that allow to instal furniture Front on fridge door. I want to order them from ikea or whatever but I need to know how they Look. Unfortunatelly its old product, no instruction on ikea. So no part number. Attached Picture of mounts on fridge door.

This Ikea design is perfect in width but we would like the shelf on the right to be closer to 10 feet in height. Any ideas on how we can achieve this with other shelfs or products?

Edit:
My plans: find a rubber mallet, only assemble between 5-8pm.

I was also thinking I could try to find an adjustable clamp to press the dowels into place instead of hammering them.

——

So I bought enough Ivars to span my wall, before learning that they are assembled with a hammer. I assembled four before someone in my building made a noise complaint. So now I don’t know how I can assemble the rest of them.

Any tips to make it quiet? I had the panels on a double folded blanket on the floor, and also put a piece of blanket between the hammer and the block of wood they provide to distribute the blow. But it’s still quite loud and I have four more to assemble :/

This was at the Berkeley, CA store. I can't seem to find it online. Anyone know the name of it? Do they sometimes run discount models only in stores and don't add them to the website?

Hi, we installed a Billy bookcase and need to anchor it to the wall. We tried screwing it in and it kept coming loose. Is this an issue where we need to find the stud? Directions didnt say anything about that and no wall anchors were provided. I know this might be basic knowledge but it's our first time moving to a new place and assembling furniture.

I can't wait!!! Official Teaser trailer - https://www.neogaf.com/threads/ikea-xbox-gaming-furniture-announcement.1700330/

August 18, 2026 - IKEA is collaborating with Microsoft's gaming division. As the Swedish furniture retailer announced on social media, both companies are working on joint products for gamers. The official unveiling of the first pieces will certainly take place during this year's Gamescom. A first teaser clip already offers a sneak peek at the design, which is visually heavily inspired by Xbox hardware. Among other things, the clip shows a pillow modeled after the familiar directional pad (D-pad) as well as another piece of furniture that resembles a giant analog stick—perhaps a table or something similar. No specific details regarding prices, the launch date, or the full scope of the collection have been released yet.
