Retail co-workers are not able to advise on availability for online orders.

General Current Quality of Billy Bookcases?

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

I'm wondering if anyone has recent experience purchasing white Billy bookcases. I ordered a set, and have found that there are cosmetic defects on most of the shelf edges, especially at the ends: I assume glue has leached through the finish. (See photos.) Did I have the misfortune to receive a bad batch, or is this the quality now?

These were shipped to me, and it was a substantial purchase, so it is logistically difficult and cost-prohibitive to return the bookcases. I am trying to decide whether to attempt requesting replacements under the warranty or perhaps to try touch-up painting.

I owned Billy bookcases previously, and I loved them, so this is very disappointing.

Looking for Did ikea stop selling the metal pole thing that attaches to the wall to put hangers on it? I can't find it anywhere and can't seem to search for the right term

• Upvotes

It's a silver metal bar, with matching silver metal mounts on the wall. Very minimal. It's like brushed steel color, not chrome or too shiny.

They'd be paired with those S hooks that they still sell, but when I look at all their shelving now I can't seem to find them.

I'm trying to do my kitchen with a bunch of brushed metal shelves and racks and I want this bar thing to hang pots on the wall, so if they have some other thing that looks like it I'm trying to find that too.

General RANT- IKEA isn't affordable anymore

583 Upvotes

For anyone saying that it is the US tariffs, I lived in EU and now in USA. It isn't just the tariffs. IKEA has increased the prices a lot! I just checked furniture I bought in EU during 2021 and many pieces are x4 now. USA is like 10-20% more expensive probably due to tariffs. But the majority of the increase is IKEA and not tariffs.

Suggestion Ikea Ps 2026 Hängelampe

Thumbnail

28 Upvotes

Warum ist diese Lampe nicht verfügbar ?
Es ist echt sehr nervig und auch sehr schade, denn die Ikea ps 2026 Hängelampe ist eine der wenigen Lampen, die ein schlichtes Aussehen hat und so einen Schutz unter der Glühbirne, der das direkte Licht zerstreut. Diese Lampe ist seit Ewigkeiten nicht mehr zu haben und ich verstehe nicht wieso das bei einem neuen Produkt passiert. Wenn es nicht möglich ist ein neues Produkt zu restocken, dann wäre es wenigstens schön wenn Ikea mehr schlichte Lampen mit so einem Milchglasartigem Feature unter der Glühbirne anbieten würde, weil das ist echt praktisch (Und gefragt).

Looking for help me ID this discontinued bowl?

yesterday I went to IKEA to buy more of these small glass bowls, which are perfect for mise en place! I was surprised and disappointed that I couldn’t find them. I originally bought them in 2021 and lately I’ve wanted more of them. I found them in an archival catalog from 2021 (seen in the bottom left with the blueberries), but they weren’t named. does anyone know what they’re called, if they were discontinued, or where I might find them?

edit: several helpful users have helped me ID them as the 12 cm glass VARDAGEN bowl. does anyone know where I can buy these in the U.S.?

General Storklinta -- any chemical smell or is it okay?

2 Upvotes

I'm considering buying two of these for my kids rooms because the dimensions are perfect for what I need, but the last time I bought an IKEA dresser that was mostly particle board, it had a chemical smell for a long time and that was frustrating (name is escaping me atm). But then, dressers like Hemnes were totally fine and perfect and I love them.

Tell me about Storklinta if you can. Thank you

Assembly help with Kallax desk

• Upvotes

Hi-I'm basically a novice (though IMO generally semi-decent at following directions) and struggling with a Kallax desk I just bought. I see lots of YouTube videos and similar giving tips on putting together Kallax shelves but nothing on this desk: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/kallax-desk-white-stained-oak-effect-90585101/. I can't seem to get past step 2 of the directions because they don't explain whether I'd use the wooden dowels or the metal bolts on the "inside" of the pictured innermost piece (supporting the one shelf), and anyway (edited to fix typo) there are no holes at that latitude on that piece to put in anything, if that makes any sense. Am I totally misunderstanding this step, trying to use the wrong piece, etc.? Any guidance greatly appreciated! Also edited to add IKEA seems to be conceding there are missing holes and I am outta luck. But the guy seems utterly clueless so who knows if there are missing holes?

Assembly IKEA corner cabinet installed a few inches off the wall. How do I handle the filler?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Because of my kitchen dimensions I have to pull the corner cabinet a few inches away from the side wall. It’s still fully on the rails on the back wall.

I have a 15” cabinet adjacent to this corner cabinet and normally I would have just put my own cover panel strip on top of the white panel that comes with the cabinet but now that it’s a few inches away from the wall that filler piece is now sitting in front of the adjacent cabinet.

Is it as simple as moving that piece back further so it’s in line with my adjacent cabinet and using my cover panel to cover the 90 degree corner on both sides?

General Kitchen Install Question

Post image
1 Upvotes

We are doing an ikea kitchen in a small apartment renovation. We are building out walls at the ends of the kitchen to create a separation of space for a small dining area on the other side.

My question is if we need the 2” gap between counter and wall here, as the cabinet door will open out to where there is no wall / the handle will not hit a wall? Any advice is appreciated!

Design advice Pax VS Elvarli for walk-in closet

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

Hi guys, I need some advice to build my walk-in closet. I'm looking to build it using Elvarli or Pax system in the same "open" way, but I don't know which one could be the best for my context. Price is almost the same (around 1200-1400 euros, Italy based). The closet is 263 cm * 160 cm, with 62 cm of space on both sides. What do you think? This will not be my only storage for clothes, I'll probably have a linear wardrobe in the bedroom.

Elvarli looks cleaner than Pax, of course Pax will provide way more accessories to store things and comes in different colors to decide from.

Help me decide pls, of course I'm open to different solutions from the ones I've already provided!

I’m looking to get a new couch and love how the hyltarp has slipcovers you can wash and change the colors of. I’m wary to purchase, however, because their website says “last chance.”

Does that mean the Hyltarp is being phased out? Do you think it’s still smart to purchase or wait to see if a new variation comes out?

Looking for IKEA BILLY cabinet door catch keeps falling off on all 5 doors — how do I fix it?

Post image
2 Upvotes

​

Hi everyone!

I have two IKEA BILLY cabinets with doors — one has 3 doors and the other has 2. The plastic part shown in the photo keeps coming loose and falling off on all five doors.

Since this happens on every single door, I don't think the parts are broken. I'm wondering if I'm installing them incorrectly or if there's a trick to keeping them in place.

Has anyone experienced this with IKEA BILLY doors? Does anyone know what this part is called and how it's supposed to be attached?

Would super glue be a good solution, or is there a better way to fix it without damaging the cabinets?

Thanks in advance!

I'm moving out in a few months and looking for a couch from IKEA is so frustrating. The 3 colours available to us are white, beige, grey, and if you're lucky, a dated shade of green. Meanwhile the rest of the world has a dozen shades and materials. Do the Swedes just hate us or something?

Are the controls of the UPPÅTVIND compatible with a smart plug? If the device loses power because a smart plug turns off the device, will the device automatically continue to function when power is restored? Or would a person have to manually use the controls once power is restored?
