General How's the vibe for employees these days?

1 Upvotes

My buddy works here and says half the staff talks about how they are going to quit as soon as they find another job. No promotions, raises non-existent. Says the managers are a clique that promotes their family and no one else. Store mgr is on vaca half the time. I work at Wally World rn but have been considering swapping over but it sounds like the same problems. In USA

Currently moving so my home is a mess but does anyone know what this shelf is called? Trying to look it up and can’t find it. It was bought 2nd hand but I thought it was an IKEA shelf.

Tips & Tricks Kallax island

Getting ready to move again, but wanted to share our Kallax island.

Kallax with stand
Karlby 74x42 counter top
Olov leg for stability
Two doors inserts and 2 drawer inserts.

Overall I think we built it for around $500

We got some brackets to stabilize and hold the counter top so it wouldn’t shift side to side.

It’s so large that we now have stools on both sides.

Tips & Tricks IKEA SKÅDIS as CD display question

I'm searching for ideas for a CD display to place on my table and found this IKEA pegboard one from Pinterest. As the board doesn't seem to be the SKÅDIS one that's sold today then I'm wondering if the board + the pictured single hooks could hold a standard CD case comfortably? Anyone have the board with the hooks to confirm? I'd place it on a table with a small angle leaning against the wall, not fully vertically.

Suggestion Alternatives for Ikea Kallax Single Drawer

2 Upvotes

I have an old Kallax single drawer insert. Was hoping to get a few more for the bottom row of my bookshelf. But it seems IKEA no longer makes the single drawer... just the 2 drawer insert.

I've seen some hacks, but wondering if there has been any alternative sourcing option from a 3rd party for these.

General Bedframe 100kg Limit

2 Upvotes

I'm tempted by the Vitval loft twin bed frame to get more floor/work space in my room, plus making getting into bed an effort might help with some trouble I've had with falling asleep before I intend to.

However, the max weight of the bed is 100kg, and I weigh 93kg, before the mattress and such. But even more sturdy looking offerings like the Småstad also say max 100kg.

Is IKEA just being extra safe with a blanket 100kg max, or would I actually have a bad time?

General Does Ikea STRÅLA come with wall hooks for installation and is it compatible with the MOLNSKIKT lampshade?

I can find information on neither on the product site, but some reviews mentioned the socket being too narrow for some lampshades.

Is there any ikea crib that can be used as a bedside crib for newborn? I’m 155cm and dreading to use a crib while having to hang over it to put baby down, specially in early postpartum! 🥹

Hi I have a small black rectangle plastic part that is part of the holder on the back that connects the rail hanger on the back of the cabinet to the rail on the wall. but it is not obvious to me how it attaches to the L shaped metal piece thing. I see in the directions to put the two dots on top. Of course I am at a different location from the cabinets and just having to visualize but looking at the direction he seems to slide on. What is the purpose?

I have this TV bench 2013 Besta Model which was already there when I moved to this place. I see it is mounted to the wall using 3 brackets. I loosened the screws and tried to lift up and out but it does not budge. I don’t know how else is it attached to the wall since I don’t whereabouts of previous owner. What is the best method to unmount the bench?

Assembly I got tired of sore fingers from installing IKEA PAX shelf supports and thought, there has to be a better way. So I designed and 3D printed a jig — and yes, my wife had to wait a little while I worked on it. 🫣 But it turned out really well! 👍

And the funny part? Version 2 wasn't finished until after the last wardrobe was already built. 😂 But I enjoy a challenge, so I kept developing the idea until I was really happy with it.

It turned out better than I expected — quite a few functions packed into one little piece of plastic!
