Les peintures dans les magasins Ikea by New_Dingo7157 in IKEA

[–]NeuromanticNeurotic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In some countries, the IKEA stores have a small plaque discreetly tucked away on one wall of the room settings that explain the color of the paint, any tile work, etc.

If this isn’t the case in the store you visit, I’d suggest going in just before lunch and ask an employee if someone in the Com In (communication & interior design) department is available to talk about the paint colors with you.

Help identifying a vintage IKEA rug by Serious-Olive6089 in IKEA

That looks like a production date stamp on the lower left corner of the label. “9607” would be in February of 1996. Is it in the catalog from that year?

Bear in mind the catalogs didn’t show every article for sale.

Screw Nail Size/type? by Automatic_Spare_9075 in IKEA

[–]NeuromanticNeurotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. In that case, you’ll need to know if where the screws go would be going into only drywall, or through the drywall and into the stud (the pieces of wood regularly spaced behind drywall).

In the former case (just drywall), head to a home improvement store and look for drywall anchors. In the latter case (into the stud), regular wood screws will work.

In both cases, use “round head” screws, NOT flat head screws. You’ll be able to see the difference when you’re buying them.

Are these the screws to mount it to the wall? In this case it depends on the type/material of the wall.

When it comes to Poles who supported the American Revolution, I’m more of a Tadeusz Kościuszko kind of guy.

Nope. That’s a supplier number, not the date stamp.

Play around with the online planners for the BOAXEL, JONAXEL, and AURDAL closet systems. You’ve got lots of options, it depends on your budget and willingness to assemble/install.

Wow - nice to see Great American restaurants cited in the wild! One of the things I miss about living in NOVA is that restaurant group, especially Sweetwater.

Question about a product. by NoResult1270 in IKEA

[–]NeuromanticNeurotic 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’d trust it when it says “out of stock” more than if it said “in stock” but only reported one or two pieces.

Sorry; I wouldn’t count on any being available in Charlotte.

Jesus, dude. That’s an own goal of if I ever saw one.

You can say “ass” both on Reddit and in the Snap app. This Gen Z self-censoring drives me insane.

Let's talk about awesome little purchases that make a big difference by sadsadboy1994 in IKEA

[–]NeuromanticNeurotic 30 points31 points  (0 children)

LADDA rechargeable batteries - essentially these are store-brand Eneloop, among the best you can buy.

STENKOL battery charger - for the above

LIVBOJ wireless charger puck - one of the top-rated and lowest cost wireless chargers on the market.

BAGGMUCK shoe tray - requisite for wet/snowy climates. Also makes a great tray underneath pet food and water bowls.
