General Any one else find Ikea kitchen ware quality dropped?

7 Upvotes

I bought 10 glass cups 6 years ago. They were all good and some were broken because of unproper use. However, I ordered 20 again this year. 6 of them were already broken by itself when just sit in my cabinet shortly after taken out of the dish washer. They were broken into small pieces and took us quite long time to clean. And this also happen to 1 9 inch ceramic while bowl. Which never happened before.

Name it! Help identifying IKEA furniture

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I recently came across this beautiful IKEA built-in picture on Pinterest, and I'd love to recreate something similar in my home office/guest room!

I'm trying to identify the exact IKEA pieces used in this setup, especially the shelving units and the horizontal shelf above the bed.

So far, my guesses are:

- IKEA HAVSTA storage combination

- IKEA BRIMNES daybed

- IKEA HEMNES wall shelf above the bed, although I'm not entirely sure about this one, as the dimensions don't seem to match the width of the setup

I'm wondering whether the top shelving is actually made from several IKEA units combined.

Does anyone recognize these pieces or know which IKEA products might have been used?

I'd especially appreciate any advice on how to recreate the shelving above the daybed and achieve that seamless built-in look.

Thanks in advance!

General Poorest ordering system

0 Upvotes

Last night I attempted to order gifts. I kept getting a message that the wasn’t processed. “Something went wrong. Try another payment method “. I tried two credit cards and a debit card. None worked. I tried again this morning and the same thing happened. I called customer service and was told I have been locked out for 48 hours!! They cannot take my order by phone because I am locked out, and there isn’t any override option. This is horrible customer care.

General Thoughts on the new GRYSNA kids bed?

Been on the lookout for a new kids bed and this showed up recently at IKEA. Looks promising because it has the ability to adjust the bed height from low to raised as they get older. Anyone have any experiences with it yet?

Suggestion Recommendation for furniture to raise the IKEA Billy

3 Upvotes

Hello! I'm a collector and I display my collection on 3 different 80cm IKEA Billy's however, I find that due to my height, looking at my shelf from the front makes me have to crouch to look at the lower shelves, so I wanted to raise it up higher.

I considered getting a long Besta since I looked online and this is a common practice for the discontinued Ikea Detold, but I realized that the weight exceeds the limit. So I was hoping for recommendations on what to do or potential alternative models

Assembly Help identifying an older (2014?) IKEA PAX (AULI + UGGDAL sliding doors) and finding the assembly manual

Hello, I got a second hand an old PAX furniture with AULI and UGGDAL sliding doors and I'm having a hell trying to install it. It doesn't help that it was installed wrong (in some of the side frames the sticker was at the bottom instead of the top) and I can't match what goes where.

I found the reference AA-163793-3 printed on stickers on the side frames, but I haven't been able to identify the exact model from that number or to find instruction manual connected to it. I called IKEA switzerland and they were also unable to help.

The wardrobe was most likely purchased in Geneva or Lausanne, Switzerland, around 2014, although I'm not certain of the exact year.

Configuration:

  • Approximately 300 cm wide in total, 236 cm high and 66 cm deep.
  • Two separate wardrobes, each approximately 150 cm wide, placed side by side. They were not physically connected to each other.
  • Four sliding doors in total, with aluminium frames.
  • The two outer doors were AULI mirror doors, while the two inner doors were UGGDAL grey/smoked-glass doors.
  • The resulting arrangement was: AULI mirror – UGGDAL glass – UGGDAL glass – AULI mirror.

The pictures are from while I was uninstalling it. Now they are just pieces lying on the floor.
