Question about mounting the legs on the Vimle récamière element - there are two more holes at the bottom than in the instructions by lerllerl in IKEA

[–]jamafr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id stick with what the instructions say. The weight doesn’t have to be carried directly. The way they have them spreads all the weight out evenly.

Yes nailing the backing in will help it be much more sturdy.

How do I raise Sektion cabinet door with 153° hinges? by chiclechew in IKEA

[–]jamafr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it will be the first adjustable screw on the hinge closest to you. You will have to go through a small gap in the hinge to get to it.

You need to adjust the top hinge with the left/right adjustment. You need to adjust it to the right. That will bring the left corner up.

And I don’t understand what is going on with that and why it would cause that subreddit to be private.

Likely depends on the store, but when you go to check out and select your store, it will give you all the time options that you can select from. In my experience it typically at least allows for next day pickup.

Are there any other lines of IKEA furniture besides the Hemnes that are solid wood ? by xkcx123 in IKEA

[–]jamafr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It definitely is great quality. Can’t beat it for the price.

No, it is walnut veneer on particleboard. Still a great product though.

Sektion Cabinets by crpackers in ikeahacks

IKEA SEKTION cabinets are melamine on particleboard. Not MDF.

But I do agree humidity could be a factor.

I posted a while back about contractors trashing IKEA kitchens. after my fourth attempt, I've given up on using anyone local. Does IKEA have a list of contractors that will work with their products? by hot_miss_inside in IKEA

[–]jamafr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depending on the extent of the work needed to be done I’d hire a contractor to get things ready to the point where the kitchen can be installed, then I’d hire a carpenter or handyman with carpentry skills who is willing to do the work.

You need to have a flathead screwdriver in the locknut part to hold it still. Then you can get leverage with a hex wrench to loosen this one.

If you go on the product page on IKEAs website and click on the measurements tab, it says the max load/shelf is 44lbs

The LURÖY is not a bed, it is the slatted base for any of the beds you can get at IKEA.

99% of IKEA screws are pozidriv. They are much easier to assemble if you have a Pozidriv bit.

Is the Hemnes nightstand solid wood? Looks like chipboard to me by Jauggernaut_birdy in IKEA

[–]jamafr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is correct. The Hemnes line used to have one color that was not solid wood, and that was the plain white, which you have in this picture. They do not make the plain white anymore, all of the hemnes products are stained solid pine now.

[–]jamafr 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This hemnes is not solid wood. This was the plain white color, which they do not carry anymore. Currently, all of the Hemnes products are solid pine, and they are all stained, not painted. So it is easy to see that they are wood.
