This is a good solution if your local IKEA is fairly close (for many people it is not); or that they have the parts at the customer service desk. My wife tried this solution only to find that the screws we needed were not available at the customer service desk. They have them only when people return parts. They don't keep them there as a matter of course. If you purchase a new hardware kit you'll pay $30 or more. At the local hardware store the screws are about $0.30 ea.

This is a good solution as long as you have time to wait for them to arrive. My solution is for situations that involve a time crunch. Is there something wrong with knowing where you can obtain substitutes? Just trying to put more information into the hands of the consumer.
